A lot of it is the consequence of having been taught to
execute sequences in lock-step with the beat i.e. one beat
== one step.

This is what happens in almost all the beginners' group
lessons I see hereabouts. 

Hi Chris,

When is the last time you checked out a local class? 10 or
15 years ago, most teachers in the US taught as you
describe. But if that teaching style exists here at all
today (outside of ballroom companies), it is only in the
most isolated backwater communities. Just like dancers,
teachers must continuously inprove their skills, or they
quickly become obsolete. Either your observations are a
decade out of date, or Brits are less savy consumers than
Yanks.

Sean
