There is a balance. Whilst technique is crucial from the start, you run the risk of over-doing it & scaring em off! Jordan and Tatiana once did a class in the UK that lasted an hour, and consisted of a push break and underarm turn only. They broke them down right to the smallest chunks possible. Interestingly, the experienced and keen WCS-ers in the class loved every minute, but the MJ-ers who came for a taster lost interest very early on.
So, it depends on what you're trying to achieve, and the standard of your audience.
fair point, there's a balance somewhere. a good teacher will strive to give a class format to suit both groups.

Re: Dance - the Big Picture
As a new teacher of WCS, I am aware that several teachers/groups have not succeeded in keeping numbers in their classes and finally closed. With hindsight & a little reflection it would be good to get feedback from dancers/teachers as to why this happened.
It is always difficult for teachers to find the right balance when breaking new ground. If with can learn form our mistakes a way can be found. Ooh…that rhymes…I must be feeling poetic today.
Looking forward to meeting some of you at the WCS Champs this weekend. Yipee!!!
