Good points, Anala. It's aways good to have feedback from students, whether they are mine or someone else's.
Over the years I've tried a lot of different approaches to teaching; some worked better than others. The syllbus approach with logical well-planned steps and so much time for drilling hip lifts and this many minutes for hand circles just made me crazy. To say the least, I am not a linear type of teacher. I have a general idea of what the evening's lesson will contain and I improvise from there.
Of course when winging a class it helps to have a few decades experience in classroom situations.
