Krasimir,

I agree with you about real technique, but it takes people
different ways of learning it.  Combinations can be a great
way for people to practice and analyze their technique.  A
good combination will make people more aware of when their
posture is bad or when their embrace is too tight, etc.  It
should make it self-evident to the dancers when their
technique isn't good.   

There are times when subtleties don't work and you have to
exaggerate the movement for people to see and understand
it.  That all depends on the person.
