I don't have much experience, but two different dancing groups I attended started each night with an hour-long "lesson" with a teacher, after which the rest of the night was free dancing (well, one group charged an admission fee, but I mean no one was giving directions). Looking at a couple of other groups' websites, it seems like this is common.
I suppose you could use "whether someone attended the 'lesson' period" as a sign of whether they will take coaching well.
- dragonwriter 6y agoI do have a fair amount of experience (several years of social dancing, ballroom performance, competitive ballroom formation team, and ballroom teacher training), and, sure, the “lesson before social dance” pattern is common, but you'd be much better to take “did they specifically ask me for feedback or coaching” as a sign of whether they will take coaching well. (Unless you are identified as an instructor for the lesson — in which case they've asked by attending — the same rule applies in the lesson, too.)
