When you get to a certain level of dance where you are seeing a lot of basic building blocks and patterns of steps over and over again, what you get out of lessons is very different.
I am happy with any lesson, even a lesson teaching choreography, if I take away just one important insight or mechanical improvement or style point about my dance, posture, balance, form, from the instructors. I don't expect to ever repeat the lesson choreography because that's a lead's issue. If they don't lead it, I can't follow it. If I even try to think about some choreography I learned somewhere sometime I lose my ability to listen and respond to what the leader is actually leading.
