How about …
Seriously though …
Intromediate class seems to be a return to the old days of Ceroc.
The old intermediate class was much like the beginners class … four simple moves, most of them only slightly more difficult than the beginners moves.
By contrast, each move in the present intermediate class is usually a combination of three or four components, each of which would have been a single move in the old intermediate class.
Intermediate class moves have been getting more and more complicated.
Paradoxically, a lot of Cerocers seem to think that, if they can do the intermediate class, then the teacher is bad , but if they can't do it, then the teacher is really good!
So teachers prosper if they make the intermediate class unreasonably difficult, and compete with each other to do so!
Intromediate class isn't a new concept … it's a very old concept with a new name.
I hope it catches on (again) over here … the end of the hey-day of Ceroc (in London), with completely packed classes four days a week in the enormous Central Club, seems to have coincided roughly with the increase in difficulty of the intermediate class.
An intromediate class which is easier for leaders (it makes very little difference to followers) should retain more leaders, which in turn should retain more followers, leading to a big expansion of numbers, and (I hope) the disappearance of the present intermediate class.
Let's get back to basics!

happy: "i'd love to fly like that!"
grouchy: "you'd never get me up in one of those!"
