Out of interest Andy, how many Ceroc teachers have you seen teach?
To achieve a figure of 'less that 10%', you must have seen at least 11 teachers, and, out of that 11, 10 of them must have not gone out and danced with beginners.
Now, far be it from me to question statistics, because we all know that statistics are always totally correct and valid. But that seems like a load of rubbish to me!
I know that over the last 8 years, I've seen a hell of a lot more Ceroc teachers than you. And, I can only think of 5* that were as bad as you make out. I could maybe add a few more who weren't great at it. But the majority of Ceroc teachers I've seen, pretty much all over the country, are generally pretty good at getting out and dancing with everyone, of all standards, at the venues where they teach.
Of course, this doesn't mean that every dance on the night in question should be with a beginner....
*Of course, I've also seen a lot of independents in that time as well, and I'd say that it's roughly a similar percentage (whatever that might be) of those that also aren't particularly good at interacting with the people at their venues.
