In the early days of Nantwich there were certain dancers we targeted as they were good dancers and/or social networkers. Though it was never a carte blanche 'get-in-free-forever' we used our judgement and it was quite successful. There used to be a gentlemen's agreement in the N West that instructors got in free, till every tom, dick and harry started calling themselves a teacher ... then it stopped.
To be honest, its got nothing to do with Jo Public. Promoters do it to help build up the club, either to raise the standard of dancers, get more dancers in or reward those who have helped the club.
o be honest, I'd only feel comfortable being given a freebie if its for a club I've helped out in the past. I know there are a few instructors who would have been offered freebies, but because they've more or less demanded it now have to pay to get in.
