Many do teach complex figures first. But what this accelerates is not 
learning, but earning.

It sure does. I recall a first-time visiting instructor 'teaching' backwards 
saccadas into overturned ochos to a class of beginners to 'give them a feel 
of advanced stuff early on'.

That feel was painful. The girls adrenaline-striken bodies felt as if they'd 
been through a lesson in self-defence. Which actually, they had.

Starting 'big' undermines context. That context is the essential feeling for 
self, relationship and the music.
