With the exception of teaching (since I'm not a teacher), I'm in 100% agreement here. I *love* slow dancing, I think its far more beautiful. One of my teachers is an utter master of it, and can hold a crowd spellbound. Its MUCH harder to do the emote thing with slow, that's for sure!

But Tarik's right - most audiences like faster, more energetic stuff. Frankly, I'm not all that great at it - medium speed is where I shine. Of course, my true delight is slow, delicate, floaty veilwork (and I *HATE* fast, thrash around veil!).
