Trini is correct. All teachers will use sequences of steps in their classes - even simple walking is a sequence. But 
students who complain about difficult sequences that they cannot master are missing the point of the class. 
The point of most classes is not to learn a sequence of steps but to learn how to dance. Students who go to a 
class ONLY to learn a sequence are wasting their time and money - their friends can show them the sequence 
later or they can learn sequences from YouTube. 
Students should attend classes and privates to learn how to dance. If they learn a cool sequence at the same 
time - that's a bonus. When you can actually dance, sequences will come naturally and learning new sequences 
is oh-so-easy.
