In rural areas it is difficult to get any sort of public transport.
Having said that, there are classes in almost every part of the UK.
People here generally dont want to travel more than an hour to a workshop or class. When I first started, I had to. There were local classes of course but nothing which would stretch me or challenge me once I had developed the basics.
We had a good teacher for basics called Marion Watson. One of her pupils started teaching after one of her 10 week night school courses.
She was much younger and thought she had it all. She was of course more supple and lively but she was not the better dancer and still is'nt.
She is older now, still teaching and is still technically pretty bad, has little understanding of styles and has her own cult like following.
Setting yourself up as a teacher too soon does not mean you will automatically become good yourself, not unless you contine to learn and develop and this should never stop.
