"Again Still showing your "upteen level of ignorance. Again only 4 levels of bronze"
Which is still 3 too many.
Instead of picking a manageable half dozen figures to illustrate the key concepts of bronze level dancing, you overload the students with an endless variety of bronze-level fluff to fill up lessons.
That is not a recipe for progression in dancing skills, it's a recipe for spending the rest of your life in the kind of lessons that can be taught by entry-level teachers.
"All teachers are qualified to teach any student primarily"
What a joke. If you were actually educating students, they'd rapidly outpace many of your staff. And in fact that's what frequently happens when you get a student who is managing despite all the odds against it to really learn something.
You know, there's another dirty little secret - if you can train teachers in a few months, why can't you use the same program on students??? Answer: you don't want the students to learn efficiently, because if they did then they'd outgrow what your staff has to teach. You have to water down the student training program compared to the staff training program, to make sure that the staff stays ahead of the students.
"We don't have to offer "bonus lessons" to get someone to enroll on their program."
Yeah right. So I can buy a 100 lesson package, cancel after a half dozen lessons, and end up paying the same per-lesson rate as I would have paid if I took all the lessons (paid + bonus) on that package? I don't think so!
"If you choose to teach without stucture or an order than it is you who are cheating the student robbing them in fact"
No, it is how all dancers who are actually making real progress on skills are trained. We teach the ideas - the figures are this trivial little sidelight that provides a context for teaching the ideas. That's why the syllabi of real programs are so short compared to those of the chains - they cut out the fluff, and have just enough to illustrate the important ideas.
"I have several students who have come from those studios"
What you mean is that you have students that come from independents that are nothing but poor imitations of the chain system. Nobody is recommending such places, as they are not example of real training either. Instead, we are recommending REAL TEACHERS, with 10+ years of personal experience in competition and judging.
Another thing you keep forgetting: your country is really a backwater in terms of dance education. The places in the world that are efficiently producing skilled dancers are not doing it using the chain model, or by selling packages. Instead, they are doing it by teaching the key ideas. The chains have exported their model a little bit, but for it's business potential only. In terms of dance education, it's a sad joke... only you yourself not having any exposure beyond your sheltered world can't see that.
"To collect one lesson at a time means that you teach with no long term plan or goals no REAL TEACHER teaches that way."
On the contrary, all REAL TEACHERS teach that way. Go ask some blackpool finalist to sell you a package and be prepared for an outburst of laughter...
"You couldn't walk into Med School and say I want to learn to do open heart surgery but I'm only gonna buy one lecture at a time."
The state of the art in dancing is not academic, it is much more like the old apprenticeship model. There have been attempts to systemize training, but the problem is that they are not based around a true intent to present the important knowldege, but instead around a desire to "can" it to the point where it can be presented by relatively inexeperienced "teachers" instead of by people who have a decade or more of true personal experience. The people who know and teach the REAL DEAL are still doing it on something approaching the apprenticeship model.
"I'm through talking to you now. It's clear what ever darkness is in your past has made you bitter and quite frankly I'm too busy teaching to listen to anymore sillyness."
You are too busy throwing your umpteen levels of bronze fluff as an obstruction in the path of your student's actual progress to actually have any interest in the promotion of REAL DANCE SKILLS.
