PLUS, I see the instructor's examples. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I review these tapes a year or more after the session, and find new value.Don Baarns - Unlikely Salserohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06312061855724975322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489977357310651356.post-25791655910306609902008-06-20T07:56:00.000-07:002008-06-20T07:56:00.000-07:00Totally agree. There are things you will never learn in group lessons. Everyone has their own individual areas that need attention and their own ways of learning. I often dance with partners who are in many ways good dancers, but for the want of a few basic faults which group lessons have never solved - but a private lesson would transform. You might be one of those dancers! Groups are a compromise - often a good compromise - but there is so much more to dancing well than you can learn by just trying to copy what the teacher is doing.<BR/>I've not videoed lessons but I do take written notes - these are excellent reminders too. After a one hour lesson my head is exploding with new information - fantastic value. I need to sit down with a good cup of tea afterwards - well I am English :-)Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05453194449824544693noreply@blogger.com
