Mentors and instruction

Sometimes a mentor has to instruct. It depends on the topic, the character, their existing skills and experience.  Manual tasks can be tricky. Installing a lock, is not easy. Changing a sash cord on the fourth floor, can be fraught. It depends on the subject.  

But dance and thought and need space to explore. The good mentor in these areas doesn't fall into the trap of instruction whereas your average joe on the dance floor can't hold back from lecturing a newbie. Generally, the worse the dancer, the greater the drive to instruct.
