In reply to: I wonder.. 's message, "How many teachers would continue if this was a voluntary coaching scenario?" on 25/05/24 7:00:53, Sat

That’s more than 50 hours a month with only one feis a month. Maybe if you don’t have a family or if you do, a rich partner so you don’t need a full time job.
I’m a school teacher, I leave the house at 7am and home just before 6pm. I‘d love to have a dance school/class but I don’t know where I’d fit it in.

It may work for a large school with multiple teachers, each giving one night a week and one weekend every now and then. But I don’t think you can expect teachers to work for the cost of hall hire and registration/insurance fees.
