I am curious to find out why instructors do not offer private lessons or any one-on-one time with dancers to assist them in improving any potential problems.
sorry to hear you have unco-operative teachers, over here the last words out of the instructors mouths are usually "if you have any problems with any of the moves taught tonight come and see me and I will go over them with you"

The problem is that there is no one to tell them they might need to make a change. Taxi's are great to help dancers execute moves and Instructors are good to let you know if you can move up to the next level, but (For Example) who teaches you how to execute a spin properly so that you (the follower) can keep your balance or so that you (the leader) doesn't take the follower out of balance, or knock your head?
once again over here quite a lot of the taxi dancers will try and give good tips on spinning turning or general style if unsure just ask

once again try dancing with a taxi and ask them to point out any faults, it may need you to ask first because of the politeness thing, but dont be offended by what your told.


oh and welcome to the wonderful world of ceroc
