    well if you're taking your taxi shirt off Im sure it will be an extra incentive for the beginners to come back

    I understand this "guilt" factor - but the way I see it, they are there to teach that night: Not just from stage, but untill they leave.
    The comment of "If you have any problems with any part of this, come find me after the class" is said at almost every class I've been to. Perhaps it's the teacher's perceived attitude?

    If they are there to dance, then I will treat them as any other dancer; if I am looking fo advice on a perticular aspect of my dancing I will dance with someone and ask their opinion - that someone may be an (off duty) teacher or may be another dancer I respect.

    Re: Dancing Advice

    Just to echo what the other taxi dancers have already said, I love it when people come and ask questions, and am always happy to help anyone who asks, on or off duty.

    I think David's idea is a good one. I've long thought that we need some kind of taxi-like service for intermediates. I think it would be worth trying at a venue as an experiment, to see how useful/off-putting people found it.

    I think the concept is a good one, but t-shirts

    Maybe something with a bit of glitter, a different colourway section, a vee-neck, containing Lycra (tm), with a couple of rips, etc, but not a plain cotton t-shirt, sooooo unflattering

    That sounds like a really good idea!
    I'd go for it!

    At my local venue there are often little impromptu classes given by the more experienced in the entrance hall, or as the DJ is packing up.
