Good grief... how did I know that the poll would be skewed based on how it was categorised...
The posts that started this was based on a very specific event and to therefore generalise it to encompass all classes makes it irrelevant. So, this is how it should be titled and conducted if it is to be relevant to the thread whence it came:

Should Classes that form part of a 5 hour freestyle allow for 15 minutes discretion by the teachers in start times?

1.) Yes, they should always start at the advertised time regardless of the length of freetstyle subsequently on offer.
2.) It's OK to start up to 15mins late (but no later) if the teacher thinks that the gender balance is incorrect.
3.) I arrive late to avoid the class.
4.) I turn up half way through, sometimes and the I join in.
5.) I turn up half way through to avoid doing them.
6.) ALL, Freestyles regardless of the genre of dance style, shouldn't have a class.

and the 2 extra sections.

7.) Freestyles that cater for a specialist sector of the market should have lessons to encourage new people.
8.) Advanced dancers should participate more in beginners/intermediate classes to help new people along.
