Hi all,
I am listed on the Instructors page on this site and since that time I have started to recieve a few emails enquiring about private classes, which should be great, but I just get the feeling there is something odd about them. I know at least one dancer who got the exact same email from exactly the same person as me and I was wondering if anyone else was recieving them?
The format is thus:
The name is a typically 'western' name.
The person can only write 'broken' English.
They ask about private lessons for themselves or their children saying they have 'some' dance experience.
They ALWAYS live abroad or a long way away and mention coming to stay in London.
Now I'm not stupid so I only give out general information (prices, general area I live in) but there is just something that doesn't seem right about these emails.
I mean, I'm not that well known a dancer outside my little stomping ground and have only been teaching a year, so when I find out they are coming from abroad/miles away I say I would be happy to teach them, but I ask if they need help finding a teacher nearer to them and this is generally when the emails stop.
Has anyone else experienced this? I have considered they are spam, but to what end? Or am I just being overly paranoid?
I'd really appreciate any opinions/advice, even if it is that I'm going mad!
TIA
