I think in London they should introduce an open section and allow all their own teachers and professional or semi-professionals to enter if they wanted and leave the advanced for experienced but non-teacher and completely 'amateur' dancers
I've never quite understood the arguement between allowing and not-allowing teachers to enter.

It's not like those people who are teachers have received any special training that isn't available to anyone else. Most teachers don't have any training at all, and even the ceroc training is mostly geared towards how to teach, and not how to make you a better dancer.

In fact, (and this is a personal opinion, and doesn't by all mean include all), in a lot of cases, I really don't think that a lot of teachers are particularly good dancers. I'd back you against a lot of the teachers that I've seen Bill. Certainly south of London, with the exception of Graham LeClerc, you'd knock spots off any of the other regular teachers there.
