Thank you.😊

I like the way you concentrate on the entrance, giving it extra time, nearly always the hardest part to get right for the lead.
Video just right. No lengthy preamble, but the steps in learning the move are repeated often enough that I didn’t need to keep skipping backwards. I loved it. I can tell you have a successful class and you know what works and what helps people learn.

Wow what a lovely compliment. Thanks! P.S., I can tell you from the follower's perspective, the entrance is usually the hardest part for us too :)
