The question was raised on one thread (I forget which) about the liability of the franchisee in the case of a drop through 'dangerous play'. If I remember what I've been told, if a Franchisee makes a constant attempt to stop dangerous play, then misses someone doing it, then they would be liable ... the logic was along the lines that if you clear your path of snow and someone slips then you are liable wheras if you do nothing then you are in the clear!
Again, this is mostly hearsay and there is probably no clear legal prescedent at the moment (and of course Scottish law can be significantly different to law in England and Wales)
Logic says that there should be an ongoing process of educating dancers as to ettiquete and reminding people what is and isn't acceptable. At my own venue I had no problem in going up to dancers on th floor and asking them to stop dancing that I thought was dangerous. Some people took exception but I left them with the choice of stopping or I'd stop them by escorting them from the premises .. their call.
I've found myslef in an uncomfortable positon at other ceroc venues where, though I'm a CTA teaher, I wasn't the resident teacher. I'd expect the venue manager to deal with the situation .. but that rarely happens (in fact once it was the Ceroc teacher and the venue manger doing the aerials!!)
So .. where does that leave the dancers? Dunno. Scott, Obi, Frank ... got any comments.
Please note, the above comments are my personal views, not as a CTA teacher.
