Hi Stella,

A) It would be a lot easier to decide if I wanted to attend if you gave
some clue in your post as to where these classes are being held. NA-W
covers a large chunk of territory.

B) I have mostly given up on group dance classes because they are far
too often devoted to teaching leaders "new moves" - often over 90% of
the class time and material is devoted to teaching leaders. As a
follower, I have better things to do with my scant dance lesson money
than to pay to essentially be a practice partner for the others in the
class who are getting the lion's share of the instructional benefits of
the class. I hope you will give this common situation due consideration
as you try to attract more followers to your classes.
