Generally speaking, we've had a lot of success with the fast-track format. That it saves major $$$ in hall rentals doesn't hurt either.
One of the things I observed from yesterday's session was the need for constant observation & frequent solicitation of feedback from the new dancers, along with a willingness to revise the program somewhat to accomodate. Because the program is so short, there's little opportunity to make up for misconceptions or errors, esp. in the early sessions.
I'm looking forward to seeing how much everyone retains for next Saturday. I believe all of the new folks were at the open house last week: they remembered an amazing amount of material considering how much was thrown at them in a very brief time. I'm optimistic they'll be in good shape for the next session once they've had a little time to process the new material.
