And there you have it. Most classes teach to the Ceroc formula; this is the same formula everywhere (except Ceroc Plus ), just like McDonalds. And have you ever tried to get a Big Mac without the gherkin?Originally Posted by ChrisA
At all the Ceroc classes I've been to I've not seen anyone, apart from absolute beginners, getting any feedback about their dancing from the teachers or the taxi dancers. So Chris is right, people need to get this feedback from the other dancers if they're going to progress. However, after you've got a frosty reception from the odd woman you've tried to coach you'd be forgiven for just getting on with the dancing you've paid to do.
The one exception* I make to my personal 'no comment' rule is with beginners and people I've known since they were beginners. I know where they're up to in their learning curve and know what they should be thinking about next. And, most importantly, I've been coaching them since they started so we've got into a sort of mentoring situation where they expect the occasional hint and, more importantly, loads of encouragement
*except for my other exception, which is where they're yanking me about or in danger of hurting themselves or me
