Classes should start on time cos if not, as already pointed out on the other thread, people expect them to start later and therefore arrive later and so on.

At freestyles - personally, as I'm still introducing new people to dancing (not that I have many friends who I haven't invited to dancing!) a short class early on can give them some basics if they haven't danced before. And I can see some sense in there being a specialist class at an event like Utopia. But have these early in the night, as it is meant to be a freestyle night, not a class night.

I see no point at all in a 'fun' class at a freestyle as the people who want to learn some useful moves don't get what they need and the people who just want to freestyle have to wait.

Yes - they need to be on time. Most people turn up after the class on a freestyle night. Having the class later means people will arrive later, which means less people on the dance floor and the whole thing starting later.
