That is the crux of the issue. Beginners have very different expectations in MJ. We aim to get people dancing fast and to a high level of enjoyment quickly.
Introducing technique to more experienced dancers without alienating new dancers is difficult, but possible! Keeping the teaching simple, clear (so that beginners are not confused) but adding good technical tips and key points to help more experienced dancers to progress is how I would try to do it, on the principle that beginners will ignore the extra bits, whilst experienced dancers don't need to pay attention to the foundation of the moves, and might notice the extra technique.
