[humanser] About requiring visual assistance in movement groups?

[Kathy McGillivray]

This is why I don't go to group classes like this. I'd rather do other 
things in groups, but find ways to exercise which do not involve following 
some visually oriented directions and wondering whether I'm doing it right. 
Just my two cents. You'll need to decide what's right for you.
