Fed up.

Your statement, "protects the student, should the disired results not be acheived, a refund could be due, and also an isurance that they are being trained by really experienced highly trained professionals, all teaching full time on a 10 hour a day schedule" proves the inconsistency.

1. Not all AM teachers are FT. I was offered a PT job and I know several AM instructors who started that way.
2. Good luck to students trying to get a refund! I was not able to even get reimbursed for lessons not used without a $1200 fee.

I just chalk it up as an expensive lesson learned.

FED Up says, "AM is governed by a board of world reknowned coaches and champions, and if nothing else, that protects the student, should the disired results not be acheived, a refund could be due, and also an isurance that they are being trained by really experienced highly trained professionals"...

Did you paraphrase this from Jeffery Skilling's testamony? I disagree with you that an AM instructor (commonly with only has 2 yrs experience dancing ballroom and teaching the same) is highly trained.

Fed Up says, "...many people are so satified and impressed, my point was just that if you decide to go to a chain like AM, I really believe, the prices are worth the quality."

I don't think they are refering the things they'd learned or the depth and knowledge of a lot of the instructors there. On the positive side, the socials are fun and much friendly environment that i feels easy to ask people for dances.
