Trini,

     Unfortunate that you couldn't remember what you were teaching that 
prompted the awakening, but can you tell us how you 'changed your approach 
to teaching'?

I had a teaching moment that happened a couple of
months after I had started teaching tango.  Several
weeks into a beginners class, I was working with a
student and she suddenly said "Now I feel like I am
dancing!"

That comment made me change my approach to teaching.
It is still something I keep in mind every time I
teach a new class, even though I do not recall what I
was teaching at the time.
