I think that what is meant is that as the teacher one has already perhaps chosen a certain wording so that it is more clear to the class rather than just reading out of the book. I know that I sometimes depend too much on the book rather than already knowing exactly what to tell the class. Once I really know a dance I might describe it a little differently in a way that would be easier to understand for the dancers.
