It's not a recipe for relaxed learning for beginners, IMHO.

Far be it from me to say that I dislike a slow UCP move,
but I agree completely with Gadget and others on this thread that this is NOT a move for beginners.
At a recent class I attended where it was taught, the teacher quite rightly took some time to make some important points, but kind of forgot that the class (including several on their first night) still had their arms round each other's necks and were trying to adopt the London Underground stare-avoidance technique. To then expect them to sway together in unison for 4 beats was asking a lot!
I know that could have happened on any kind of comb, even the short version, but I do think the slow version is to be avoided in beginner classes.
Only my opinion, of course!
