Interesting point .... but surely the pint is that the best clubs should do best ... and you appear to be making an assumption that all Ceroc clubs are the best. Sorry, but this is not the case. There are a number of other organisations, e.g. Blitz and JiveBug who have nights with instructors, venues and music superior to competing Ceroc nights.
Dont forget that Ceroc isn't alwys the first modern jive club in an area ... and that there are significant areas of the UK where there are no Ceroc clubs ... in the North West, Ceroc is the minor operator, the key clubs being Blitz and Swing Roc.
As has been said before, the best thing from a dancers perspective IS to have competition to Ceroc ... and trust that the Ceroc operators don't revert to the 'bad old' days of banning rivals. I think the best model of operation I've seen is that of Ceroc Scotland for which I have genuine admiration.
