Most private instructors also teach group classes. These aren't very expensive. No, they are not a good as private lessons, but if you select a good instructor, it is very likely that he/she will be teaching some technique along with those steps. Most GOOD instructors feel an obligation to teach this even though they know very few in the group class will get it. For most people, especially beginners, the technique is pretty difficult to get from a group class, but if you concentrate on everything that is being taught, including what the instructor is doing but not explaining, and not just on step patterns maybe you can pick up some of it. The part you miss is that when you think you have it, there is no feedback saying, no that is not correct, here is what you need to do. Often when you think you are doing something correctly, you will actually be doing something else. You can do some amount of evaluating yourself by video taping yourself and comparing what you are doing to a video tape of a professional doing the same thing. At least when you see that your version looks really weird by comparison, you know you don't have it yet. This should work for some things, but there are a few techniques that I have never seen anyone be successful at picking up without private lessons.
