Hi, Anna,

I'm afraid I disagree.  It _is_ the way some people
are made.  Not everyone is best served by the same
type of instruction.  Some people learn dance better
by watching, some by hearing an explanation, some by
being guided through it.  Most people learn best by a
combination of methods, followed up by practice. Most
people can learn to get something out of the mode of
instruction which is not optimal for them, but they
have to learn to learn that way.  Good teachers teach
through several modalities when they teach a group, to
optimize the experience for everyone.
