I can sympathize with valuing fundamentals over flourishes, and I'm not
saying you should keep that opinion to yourself, just that I think you could
find a less sarcastic way to express it.

I would like to teach some of my more advanced
dancers some flourishes
or other embellishments to contra dance. I'd like to start with things
that are easy and obviously that can be smoothly integrated into a dance.
How about first teaching them how to fit the dance to the music, giving
weight in allemandes and circles, and doing a good buzz-step swing?
Or would that not be considered politically correct?
