I've always been grateful to those ladies who've taken the time to offer advice when I'm trying to "nail" a new move. If nobody did this, there'd be an awful lot of dancers getting things wrong a lot more often.
No teacher is perfect, and individuals can often misunderstand or just not quite "get" the teacher's instructions. That's why it's important to help each other out. I appreciate it when it's done for me, and I try to do the same during the beginners' lesson when it's needed. Of course, I do try not to distract them when the teacher is making a point, but sometimes a little advice like "try relaxing your hand-hold and you'll find turning much easier" makes a big difference.
