OK, this is not intended to be another "Is Ceroc better than the independants" thread. I am asking this question from the position of a current 'independant' teacher with several years dancing experience (in MJ as well as Ballroom and many other styles) who is considering joining the CTA.
I am interested in hearing from any current CTA members, anyone still going through the training, or anyone who has considered becoming a Ceroc teacher and discounted it.
So the question is, what are the personal benefits - to yourself, not your class, venue or Ceroc as a whole - of paying thousands of pounds to go through the Ceroc teacher training ? (Apart from being able to teach at Ceroc venues ! Come on, I can guess that one
)
Have you found any disadvantages ? Has it alienated you / cut you off from the rest of the dance world ? Have you been affected by the dance 'politics', been descriminated against by association to Ceroc ?
All views welcome.
