The practice tonight was NOT for beginners

Some of us, at the practice tonight, didn't have much to do after Andrew's
lesson. Very few beginner-level dances were played, and instead, dances
like the tango, samba, quickstep, and others were played. It's important
to realize that some of us don't know these dances, and we came to
practice, not to just watch other people dance. I spoke to another
beginner, who's taking the Monday class, and none of the dances were taken
from that class' repertoire, which includes rhumba, waltz and swing (or,
maybe there was a little swing at the beginning). And waltz is taught in
two of the beginner classes, so there really isn't any excuse for not
playing that dance. From what I could tell, about a third of the people
there tonight were beginners. In the future, please play more of the
dances that beginners are familiar with.
In addition, I'm sure a number of us would also appreciate it if someone
would announce what dance is currently on.
