i find that with a lot of the "beginner" videos. i really like neon's series, but there is little to no breakdown, and i can't see a beginner doing those combinations correctly. same with neena and veena...not much of a fan of those videos, same problem, no breakdown. at least neon does mention ways to keep your back safe. i think sometimes we lose sight of just how much a true beginner can do. after you've been dancing a while, some of those moves come so easily to you that maybe you think a beginner can do it. i've seen that in multi-level dance workshops too. instructor says "...then layer this rib figure 8 with a shimmy...easy!" and all the beginner types sigh, and look flustered while the more advanced dancers go "yeah, easy...". i think i'm going on a tangent. work is so boring today!
