Thanks for your replies, I live in the South West so no chance of attending your classes but teaching long routines is not confined to my area. Parties are even worse for this. Most parties start with a couple of lessons before the party gets going where the insructors seem to demonstrate their most impossible mind boggling routines for these occasions. Perhaps as guest teachers they think they have to impress.

I have a video tape by Robert Charlemagne where each move is presented seperately I only wish classes were like that.

    I have never met anyone who remembers the routine they were taught more than two weeks ago and each week there is usually a new routine that bears no similarity to the previous week.
  I have reached a point where I have had enough of classes, all I want to do is practise what I have learned.

It has just occured to me and I might as well ask both of you this. I don't really know why the X body is emphasised so much as most moves can be initiated without it. Whereas the open break,is that the right name? Thats the one where you push away on 1 and pull in on 2, is vital to go into varies positions such as putting the girl in wristlock or resuming the embrace hold. I can see it has some uses but to do a X body just for itself is nothing. A X body must lead into something spectacular to be worth doing as far as I can see.
