I don't know what the appointment/recruitment process is, but in any event I think we all owe a big debt of gratitude to the Taxi Dancers (and demonstrators) because without them the evening just wouldn't be the same.
I think too that the trend to take beginners out during the intermediate lesson and go over the beginners moves is great - when I started that didn't happen. I was completely freaked out just watching the intermediate moves, and had to just leave to preserve what was left of my ego (fortunately, it has fully recovered, before anyone else says so!!)
