Reiteration

Only having this class once a week makes it difficult to remember some of the steps we've learned. Thus, I've found that reiteration by continual practicing throughout the week before the next class has helped ingrain them into my memory. During week 1 and 2, I had some difficulty recalling what Professor Dobyns had taught us. As the quarter has progressed and we perform the basics over and over, recall has become much easier. I understand why Professor Dobyns encourages us to participate in weekly tango activities outside of class, such as the DU Tango Club on Thursday evenings (I've yet to attend but I'm making it a mission to do so), to encourage and enhance our fundamental understanding of the steps. Practice makes perfect. The lack of practice breeds clunky and hesitant steps.
