I'm so glad I'm not alone in this. I took her class and found it a frustrating experience. I was hoping for structure and beginner-friendly instruction, and instead we mostly just mimicked what she was doing, even though it could involve some complicated steps and arm movements. She kept pausing in the class to go and skip around among music tracks, and I had trouble hearing her directions over the sound. The class was OK for exercise (though I don't think that we stretched out enough), but I didn't feel like I got a good foundation for further learning, and if I hadn't already been an experienced dancer, I would have been completely lost.

I've also taken other beginner classes at the Dance Complex and had great times with them (Street Funk!), so it's not an issue with the organization.
