I have similar experiences from salsa lesson. I did years and years of classes, but did one private lesson (and a few years later another) with an exceptionally good teacher and got more enough actionable insights to fuel my improvement for at least a year. Even experienced dancers who teach will often say what they think they're doing rather than what they're actually doing, which I always find frustrating. The approaches that work best for me are: 1. Describe how it feels to do what I need to do 2. Describe at the biomechanical the principles of what I need to do, which muscles to engage, how my weight should be distributed etc.
