What does that mean, "more technique-oriented"? Where you're
supposed to put this hand or that foot? Or something easier to see than to
describe verbally? Would this be a useful review for someone who's already
had waltz and cha-cha? Is it aimed at people who want to compete rather
than do social dancing?
Speaking of competing, I'm not sure I *can* compete, at least in
anything local, since I am not a student (am staff) and the only local
comp I recall was for students only. I tend to avoid going out of town to
overnight events.
