The End of the Beginning

This has been the last session ... more of the same, one or two new moves, a string of old ones put together in sequence, with music and changing partners. Familiar format.
It may not look particularly proficient but it works.
What was new however was a sense of of 'class bonding' which came to the fore when the proposal was made to add a few extra sessions before Christmas to reinforce what has been learned and to build a bridge to the next level course starting in January 2009.
This is peer learning at its best, with the entire group wanting to move forward together.
Three cheers to the tutor for forming such as coherent bond - and for moving us from extrinsic towards intrinsic motivation.
