I agree with everything you say. Especially :
Quote:
I'd been able to freestyle intermediate moves easily enough for several years, but it just wasn't fun any more - because I had been through several cycles of learning and forgetting hordes of intermediate moves
- But gtman is a beginner just trying to make a big step up to intermediate.
- He is trying to learn how to freestyle at the same time.

You can only concentrate on one thing at a time whilst dancing. Everything else has to run on auto-pilot. If you are still concentrating on the moves, then you can't think about freestyle. From the sound of it, gtman is almost comfortable with the moves, so now he can work on leading moves in freestyle.

(Freestyle is wierd. When you can't do it it seems impossible. When you can, it is difficult to explain. The time in between is that one song when it clicks, and is probably the best dance you will ever have.)

Then when you are comfortable with freestyle, you can think about the music. I just don't think now is the right time.
