What is the best way to work around other local teachers who are uncooperative and are teaching outdated and poor technique?

“Teach and dance the way you believe it should be taught but don’t shame other teachers and their methods. Instead generate your own stable of dancers taught using your methods and let others decide which type of dancer they prefer to be. Remember people learn to dance for lots of different reasons and the people who enjoy the other style of teaching may simply enjoy this style. However by showing the difference that your method of teaching creates in your students by everyone social dancing in an inclusive environment allows people to decide which method (and thus end result) they prefer.” – Lynn Maslen
