You should try and see, if any of the other dancers, would be willing to share costs of bringing in a prof. , on a once or twice a month basis for 2 group hrs and private lessons .

I have done this in the past for Amats .

I know a lot of people who move and can't stand having left their pro behind. Many that I know set one or two days a month....fly out and take several lessons at once. My pro of choice has the majority of his students who live all over the place....Washington DC, Chicago, Houston, Seattle....etc.

You just schedule business like shopping or doctors appointments and do it all at once.

In my studio we also have pros fly in...you just arrange enough students to split the cost. That is how you get high quality coaches in....why not your high quality pro? It doesn't really cost much if you split time and I know many many pros who do it...from Jonathan Roberts to Boriana Deltcheva and almost everyone inbetween. We had Ricardo Cocci at the studio a few months ago, etc., etc.,

Thank you both for the great advice. I like the idea of having everyone split the cost for my instructor to fly in. That way, it takes some of the financial burden off me and everyone can benefit from his great teaching.

Ginka85. There is no end to what is available for you to promote Ballroom Dancing in your area. You can form your own Society, and if you wished have your own Medal Tests bringing in your instructor to judge them. Classes for children could be helpful. Who knows, you might be able to get the Education Department on side to promote Ballroom Dancing in schools.
