Ever held a catch-up class mid-term?

hi everyone

I've been tossing ideas with my tribal basics teacher, we run our classes in terms of 10 weeks with the school breaks....and what we find is for about the first 4 weeks there will be people who'll want to join in - some with dance experience who for some reason or other didnt find us in time for term start. Depending where the class is at we'll usually welcome them along explaining we have covered some of the basics so they'll catch up either during term or at the next block. Then at 5 weeks we generally say no more to anyone new joining the class as we're well and truly in the dance by this stage.

My teacher had an idea that we could hold a catch-up class say at 3 - 4 weeks which would give a good overview of where we are with out steps = we teach GC style bdance so we'd be going over the ghawazis and arabics mainly, just an extra focus for the new ones who've joined us to get their equal footing and anyone else interested to get a bit more tuition.

Do any of you do this? had any success? What are your thoughts?

Cheers
Dee
