1. No outside drinks or alcohol
2. No outside food
3. No talcum powder on dance floor

How would you act if taking a class from -- Einstein, Gene Kelly, Calvin Klein, etc.

1. Be Open Minded (every instructor has something to offer)
2. Look first for what is right about what you are learning. If it disagrees with some things you have learned before try not to be critical of the Instructor (there is a reason why they are the instructor and you are not and often there are different ways to say the same thing or successful ways to do the same thing.)
3. If you know something works for you then you don't have to change it, just understand that the instructor is relaying how it works for them.
4. Be willing and have the ability to take a correction. (don't take it personally, they are correcting you because they want to help you to do it as successfully and beautifully as possible within your ability and goals.)
5. Be willing and have the ability to laugh at yourself.
6. Challenging the Instructor will hurt you more than help you. It doesn't make anyone look good or feel comfortable. Handle disagreements or confusions with the instructor personally after class.
7. If there is something about the Instructor(s) or class delivery that you don't or didn't like, take the details up with the promoter or the teacher and resist the temptation to discuss it publicly. More often than not, these things result from misunderstandings, lack of communication or temporary situations. (this is their living, sometimes teachers have a bad day, be respectful)
8. Try to have some tact when confronting an Instructor about something that may have offended you. Attacks usually result in a defensive or attack in response.
9. Give the Instructor(s) the same benefit of the doubt that they give you when you enter class.
10. Workshops are meant to be fun as well as informative.
11. Understand that there is not enough time in class to give personal attention.
12. If you want or need personal attention, privates are the best way to get that.
13. Instructors are there for instructing as well as entertaining.
14. If Instructors teach as a couple and they joke around with one another, understand that it is just that. Styles of humor vary -- their words and actions are never intended to offend you. And what may offend you may be funny to someone else.
15. If an Instructor teaches alone and jokes with a student again it is just that.

"ANGELS CAN FLY BECAUSE THEY TAKE THEMSELVES LIGHTLY!"

Instructors are in the public eye, the center of attention and often feel that they are under a microscope. Their impact when they perform well is huge, likewise when they are less than perfect it is noticed by the majority and sometimes becomes a magnet for criticism. In the best interest of all, Look for the good, right, positive, beautiful, funny, simple, and special in everyone.
