Unlearning for learning - sessions 4 and 5

The first three sessions had instilled a degree of self confidence which comes when you are in love with something new and exciting and you manage reasonably well.
Session 4 brought me down to earth. Although I thought that I had understood the basic pattern of the movements and their relation to the beat of the music I became badly unstuck by a particular horrid move involving what looked like a straightforward spin underneath the dancing partners arm.
Despite attempting it many time over it somehow did not feel right somehow. Over and over I failed to recognise that it wasn't the move itself which I was doing wrong but the timing of the turn itself (which I was doing two beats too early). Unfortunately this did not become apparent to me during the entire fourth session leading me to practice at home what was essentially incorrect.

At the beginning of session 5 I asked the techer for clarification on this particular move and then it daunted to me how it worked, realising that I had to quickly unlearn what I had practised for a few days and relearn the correct version..
This 'EUREKA' moment was quite special but it did take me quite some time after the class to get the correct move into my long-term memory (LTM) after which I felt a particular sense of relieve.
Which demonstrates another aspect of learning:
Be prepared to take a step back, reflect on and question what you've learnt, ask for clarification from the expert(s) and be prepared to unlearn what you have done wrong and relearn. It may take extra effort but it is normal part of learning, enabling you to gain a richer experience in the process, which will then feed into the next level of learning experience.
