  • I'm going to have to knock Factcat down a notch because they have been slipping lately. Everything I said in the previous review still applies, but: * They are giving an increasing number of showcase dances during primetime dancing. Most of these shows feature mediocre talent that nobody but a captive audience would want to watch. Most people come there to dance -- not to watch novice students practicing basic dance routines. * Group lessons are often atrocious. Too much time is spent telling jokes and acting like jesters. In the meantime very little learning takes place. Many people are starting to suspect the lessons are there to advertise to the public how little they know so that they will take expensive private lessons. * Rotations during group lessons aren't consistent, and increasing numbers of couples who won't rotate get in the way of those who do. * Beginners are allowed to take the intermediate class. This might be OK except that the majority of the class are beginners, so the more experienced dancers end having to practice routines with people who can't follow the lesson. * So much emphasis is put on the male lead that the women don't learn their part. It's just assumed that women are like a sack of potatoes that don't have to know how to dance as long as the men know how to lead them. Ladies: sorry to bust your Fatcat bubble but you do have to learn how to do your part for each dance genre. * The dance patterns are complicated, and often too difficult for the skill levels of the dancers at the group lessons. So, men don't learn how to throw their sack of potatoes around (see previous bullet), and everyone has a TRAIN WRECK. * There is a lot of gossip about the qualifications of the instructors. They need to work on credibility. Fatcat is a wonderful studio that is more of a community than the chain dance studios can provide. Please don't let my criticisms deter you from checking it out -- especially Saturday night because the ballroom party is excellent. That said, Fatcat survives because of a lack of serious competition. If a well run large studio ever opens up in that part of town Fatcat could become RoadKill.
