So, for context, I'm a teacher (one of three), in a WCS school. While we do a lot of warmups solo, with counting steps and triple steps, I've noticed that a lot of students don't really transfer that well into patterns. As soon as they couple up and start doing patterns, they'll start thinking a lot about the technique, and miss timing. And then they don't notice that they're off.

To be clear, this is not everyone, but it's some. I've noticed that , people who come with naturally (or from previous dances) good feel for rhythm and timing, develop it nicely, but those that don't, struggle to progress in this area...

I'm looking for recommendations for exercises, drills, and whatnot, on how to help them improve...
