WEEKLY SALSA TIP: There is a well-known psychological
state, where the student can grow emotionally attached
to the teacher, which is why there are ethics for
teacher behavior involving students. Beware of the
salsa instructors who take advantage of the students,
from expecting the students' support to even coercing
the students to sign contracts. Remember the students
are the customers, and the salsa instructors serve and
support the students -- not the other way around.
