For Ceroc Australia there's something similar, with the addition of a "Freestyler" card which is (loosely, I think) required before you can join the normal intermediate class.

Thanks, Gary and Yliander for your replies. It sounds a bit complicated but should have a lot of appeal for those, such as myself, with Girl Guide mentalities. The other 99.9% would take some convincing. There's quite enough bitching about who's better than who as it is, not to mention hotshotism, without the added complication of teachers awarding grades. I can imagine lots of people storming off in a huff if they didn't get the result they felt they deserved (probably me). Does this ever happen, as far as you know? Or do people totally trust the judgement and integrity of the teachers who administer the system?
P.S. I've just looked "hotshotism" up in the Jivecat Modern Dictionary of Dance Terminology and it is definitely there.
