It's a very silly law that the UK have emposed onto dance teachers. How can a child understand fully which muscles to use and where to turn the head to or to correct a foot or arm. It is nearly impossible to teach professionaly without physically correcting a student.( if the student wants to improve ). Overseas this rule is probably either ignored or has not been emposed. Is this why some international students are extremely stronger than some of the UK students? It seems that overseas the standard is much higher than here. Majority of children who start training CORRECTLY from a young age (not just prancing about skipping around the studio for 1 hour) are better than the girls that started later. I still disagree that just because we pay taxes here in the UK, only British students should be eligible to funding. Overseas also pay taxes even though its for their own country.
