Iain,

Small investment? I have purchased over 220 books/3,500 dances. Buying
another 35 books/ 450 dances to cull 7 good ones is too expensive in
time as well as money. Rethink your knee jerk reaction please.

I have been teaching SCD for thirty plus years and I have not heard
one rave about her dances, seen one on a ball or a workshop. In saying
that I get the sense I should avoid her dances. But I could be wrong
and someone's expert opinion could change my mind.

So I ask again - Do you have an opinion on the quality of her work? Is
she any good or just a local flash in the pan?
