I love this! I like your instructor's method of correction (assuming your foot is not supposed to be going past your body on the count of seven) because it is specific but not overbearing. I always hated an instructor to lose temper and belt out "NO!! No, no, no, no, NO!" to an individual or the group. It does nothing but weaken confidence and create more confusion. Like, what exactly is the no about?

Your response is so cute, too. Have felt that way many times -- concentrating so hard on one little section, then maybe being a little too comfortable on the very next.
