Oh I love Chelsea Dagger. Good choice! :-D

Like you said, when one door closes.... It's their loss I am sure.

I've encountered the no certification no job policy, too. Mostly it's just fancier gyms that do that, though. Unfortunately for me, my gym wants to get fancy. Oh well, it's a kick in the butt to get my video done.

When I did my training, they said mix after 2-3 weeks, and that's what we follow. As for attendance, since we always make a big shebang when we launch new releases, the attendance usually goes up, so those 2-3 weeks are great for the new participants to get the hang of the program.

It works fine, and people don't want to do any more than those 2-3 weeks. They get bored pretty quickly, and they ask for old favorites. Once that period is past we seldom do the same mix two consecutive classes, unless the participants ask for it. But everywhere is different, I guess.

Anyways, when I make a mix I usually burn a CD and keep blocks more or less together from the same mix. Except for special occasions, like a Valentine's day mix made plucking the squishiest, mushiest songs in existence for each track. That was fun, and surprisingly hard for some reason.

I love, love, love Chelsea Dagger.
