The salsa class I went to last week had several men over (

The scatter method is harder work to explain (and to train the class to do), takes a few weeks for people to get used to, and is messier, but I think it gives more teaching time. In a packed venue, or where there are only 1 or 2 women over, it's probably more hassle than it's worth though. Certainly, it's nicer now in the class at Finchley not to have to faff around "directing traffic" - there's always some woman who decides to go up instead of down a row
Like all these things, there's probably no best method, it all depends on the class size, the venue, the ratio, etc. But the fact that there
are other methods is something all teachers should be aware of.
