(continued from previous message...)

Probably the biggest complaint to our current presentation is that beginners have a hard time knowing how to put these components together. So once we're done filming instructional videos for the silver level, we plan to come back and do more instruction on composition, suggested combinations, etc. But the information is technically already there in written form, so if you know how to read precedes & follows charts, you should be ok. And a lot of it, especially in bronze, is pretty self-evident.

The other thing you may want to know about is that ours is still a work in progress. We are adding written and video content every week, but it is nowhere near complete. We have video demo clips of every syllabus figure bronze through gold in international style, and bronze through silver in American style. We also have a number of instructional videos of some of the bronze figures, and the remainder of the bronze syllabus instructional videos have been filmed, and are simply awaiting editing and uploading. Written content is currently in various stages of completion. By the end of 2016, we are expecting to finish all written content in all styles through gold, and to finish the bronze instruction editing, and have two more film shoots to cover a couple of additional social dances (WC Swing, Lindy Hop, Hustle and possibly Argentine Tango), as well as at least the first third of silver instruction. So you should take a look and see what's currently available, to make sure it fits your needs. This information can be gleaned whether or not you have a user account.

Hopefully I've managed to answer your questions sufficiently. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask. I will also be posting a copy of this email to the Dancetalk message board (leaving your identity anonymous, of course).
