| Re: Moving on UP
Modern Jive is taught backwards. You learn the end result (ie the dance) first, and eventually you might pick up the skills needed to do it properly.
The majority of those people you are complaining about would have stopped after one class had they been taught loads of technique.
It depends how many people you want at your venue, and how long you want your venue to continue for.
Fortunately what is starting to happen is that teachers are beginning to understand the technique a lot more than they did, and are finding ways to introduce this into intermediate classes without overcomplicating everything.
As for the advanced classes, if you understand the concepts you tave talked about, then you shouldn't have a problem with them. Which venue are you talking about?
