That&amp;#x27;s bad on the teacher for not telling you really. Once you know the basics the rest is easier to build on top of that, but otherwise it&amp;#x27;s like trying to tell someone about design patterns while they&amp;#x27;re still struggling with syntax in programming.&lt;p&gt;If you liked the idea, give it a go with beginners again.

If every aspect of your timing and form aren’t perfect, it simply does not work at heavier weights, and can take years of constant practice to perfect. The extra burden of having to output 100 percent effort while trying to do everything else perfect is very mentally demanding.</text><parent_chain><item><author>macintux</author><text>Speaking as someone who tried to take a tap class as an adult, only to discover it was for people who were already experienced dancers: yes, dance training is vastly more complex than exercise.&lt;p&gt;Update: what absolutely killed me is that we would run through a complex step two or three times, and we were expected to be able to practice at home.
