    I don't know... I figured if you enjoyed dancing, you'd go dancing... Perhaps she wasn't getting enough dances to make it worth her while.

    But that's a different thread (or two, or three...)

    I think this is often something experienced by leaders too.

    Yes but the difference is that the classes are aimed at teaching leaders something new to lead if you want to take the time to remember it and use it where as thefollower is reliant on the leaderdoing so infreestyle...and not all do

    Reality check. Ceroc runs dance classes. Once people have learned enough for their needs they might be expected to stop attending. Since I have been attending for years it might be inferred that I am a bit "slow". I prefer to claim that I love helping others to learn and to extend themselves.
    The fact that the intermediate class teaches hundreds of moves helps to give a motive for attending because there are still things to learn. The one thing that is certain is that the Ceroc model does attract long term dancers, and is doing so in ever increasing numbers.
