Name brands like Naveira, Arquimbau, Zotto, Salas or Balmaceda, right?  
There
are people who dance or teach just as well, that are barely scraping 
by.   You
might even recognize their names.

The requirement for making the big bucks teaching is to have been in a
show, or alternatively speak English well enough to display their natural
charm and wit.  Neither is a real qualification for teaching.
