Well knowing what you guys all think about air steps and all of the acrobactical stuffs - i'll try and say this carefully!!
I think the ariel classes are brilliant (oh well i'll just say it shall i!!)
For me the classes i look forward to are the lifts, and some advanced styling classes. I'll watch the dips/drops class aswell to see if they are doing one i haven't seen/done before, as i like to add these to my repatoire. (of course i only use them when there is sufficient space)
I have tried doing as many of the classes as possible, but soon realised i learnt so much more from freestyle that my opinion is now that i'll do the workshops which teach you things you won't get to learn in freestyle - i.e. lifts, drops...
The only problem with this is that in an hour session its hard to learn 4 lifts, remember where you have to hold, how to position yourself... and it not like you can practice what you have learnt on the dance floor (a) because you can't just do it with anyone, and (b) its a space thing.
I do however like to watch some of the classes to pick up on little pointers, but actually doing them is not the most helpful as DJ said - there are so many people, and so many women being moved on that its not the best learning envrionment, especially if you are at the back of the class and can't see the stage/teacher's footwork...
I guess thats one of the positives with the ariels classes, they are much smaller groups, so you get much more attention from the teachers.
