My personal experience has been that its been the feedback from more experinced dancers that helped me to progress. In particular Kate and Lilly made many excellent 'observations' without deflating my ego too far. My foray into comeptition dancing also helped. When we first started dancing together, my partner Zambo was a far better dancer with me. After many months of freestyles and occaisional studio time, she managed to drag me up to her level.
