One of the most important beginner moves. And one of the most important improver moves. And a very useful advanced move IMO.
For beginners, it teaches some of the basics of the dance, tension, leverage, compression, and it does that whilst not being distracted by complicated arm movements etc.
For improvers, it's often one of the first moves where dancers start to decorate, move their hips etc.
For advanced dancers, a lot use it in it's own right, but it's also a great 'adjuster' move if your count to the end of phrase gets mucked up or something
