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.
