ITS MONTHS SEEN I SEE ONLY THE WALTZ VARITION WHATS UP
LAZY WEBSITE
OT JUST DONT WANT US TO LEARN MORE

Give me my free lunch NOW!!

really people... when it's free you get it when they decide to give it, if you want service on demand, expect to pay

Where is the line for those willing to pay?

And gosh, I think the couple who own and operate this website just had a baby, maybe they are a little busy at the moment. Give them a break will you

Aside from what amber said, I believe the administrator said they were planning to be busy this summer in hopes of taping new video for steps from Bronze - Silver, with some video remaining for free, and others for paid membership.

The post was a few months back, but it was mentioned. I, for one, think the site is a great resource as it is.

ok MARTIN
jonathan has been working extremely hard recently to get the variation video out, and the process is not over.
melissa just had a baby. i believe bringing a new human into the world SHOULD be their top priority...NOT taking care of impatient people who dont realize just how good this site really is.

Actually, no, it's been one month. Nice exaggeration.

I do appreciate your frustration, but realize that we are not a huge company with unlimited resources. We are a married couple with a newborn baby, a full load of private students, and a competitive career. If you think we're lazy, I can't even imagine what we'd have to do to qualify as "hard-working" in your book. Give up sleep, perhaps?

I don't mind giving away free material wherever possible, but I still have to make a living. In the end, paying clients will always take precedence over non-paying visitors. Since we process all of the online orders ourselves, I must take the time to package them and send them out, then use whatever time is left over to produce the website. The last few weeks have been very good for orders, but that means less time spent on the website.

I'm also trying to produce the DVD of smooth variations. I'd like to get this one out much faster than the last one (which took me a year to produce), so I'm taking time away from the website to speed along the production of the DVD. Once again, it comes down to the bottom line: Paying customers take precedence.

For the next couple of months, you should expect the variations to cycle on an average of a bi-weekly basis. This will continue until I've finished composing the new variations. Once we go into re-runs, the regular weekly schedule will resume.

Be aware also that there has been a new complication this week... due to yet another equipment failure, I now have to buy a new hard drive and video camera, then re-capture all of the smooth video footage, before I can continue editing the smooth DVD. It's also necessary before I can produce the next smooth variation. The next rhythm variation is going up now. But this variation may stay up for a few weeks also. It has nothing to do with laziness... this unfortunate event adds at least a dozen or more hours to my normal workload.

Maybe you'd like to come over and babysit?
