Perhaps the perceived improvement is due to the 'starting point' being of a lower level than other areas of the UK: MJ and Ceroc in particular are new to the scottish people - there was no background to draw 'ready made improvers' from.
Perhaps it's that a lot of the 'regular' scottish people are now considering entering competitions and caberets - as their level of dedication and interest has increased, so has the level of dancing.
Perhaps the Scottish attitude of openness and willingness/eagerness to share has improved communication and learning between the dancers; improving as part of a group rather than as an individual.
Perhaps it's just the 'drop-out' rate is lower here: more people staywith Ceroc and learn more, therefore improve move.
Perhaps events, visits, workshops and holidays with/from legendary dancers have given a spark to the dancers that encourage them to grow.
Perhaps the person making the statement is comparing the wrong things: a few poor dances 18months ago compared to a few excelent dances now would give the illusion of massive improvement.
Perhaps everywhere is improving - it's just that Scotland is highlighted because it is not a regular stomping ground for the person making the statement: you rareley notice slow improvement/growth if you are in the center of it and see it every day.
Perhaps it's just the person making the statement who's dancing has degraded in the last 18 months?
