Quick poll just to see if people think that their (or a majority of their) dance teachers are taching for the right resons or if they just do it to get more money in their pockets.

Personally, I went in to teaching do try and offer people something different from the same old same old they get week in week out. Anyone who has (or hopefully does) hear my sets at Southport will know what type of stuff I play and offer.

I have noticed though that (in particular) one teacher just seems to be in it for the money. I never see him at any other events nor does anyone else. Just turns up once a week, half @rses a lesson together, chats to his freinds and doesn't social dance.

Before people start saying there is no money to be made in modern jive teaching, 60 people at £6 each is £360 after deductions that is about £200 per week, £800 per month plus freestyles.
