Anyone male or female if they wish to become anything at all must practise their routines solo. The studio professional must encourage this. Barbara Ambrose of the Slovinia demonstrated this in her lecture at Blackpool at the British a few years ago were one of her pupils danced a Cha to varying speeds and was joined by several others all dancing solo. I have on tape a training session in her studio where there are about twenty dancers standing in files all dancing solo, boys and girls all dancing the same steps at the same time. It was at Seminar, and in the class were a few of the best dancers in Europe. It is the proven way to go.

Sorry ladies but the truth is the majoroty if let loose on the floor on their own would finish facing the wrong way and also out of time. Only those studios who make each person male and female do their routines solo to music can contadict that first sentance.
