Yea - the reason I brought it up again was that a lot of recent posts have been along the lines of "teacher/taxi" or "ex-taxi turned teacher"; the context of them bringing taxis just below the level of teacher, then all the rest of the dancers falling into line behind them. And I'm sure that a beginner sees it that way as well.
Don't get me wrong: I think that a good Taxi is worth as much, if not more to a club as a good teacher - they do a good job and help with the initial 'fix' that gets folks hooked.
However I think that it's a mistake to think that just because someone is (/has been) a taxi dancer, they are "good": they are mortals as well, and ability ranges are just as broad as within the general populous (...although I would hope there are not that many towards the 'poorer' end of the scale
)
