One reason here in Europe is that almost all nuevo dancers are 
instructors, and relatively few dancers over 40 are interested in 
instructing.

As to the nuevo-instruction correlation itself, for many, nuevo is only 
worth doing because of the commercial opportunities it provides. Most of 
the rest are selected-in by the fact that nuevo is acquired through 
instruction rather than dancing, and those who learn from instruction are 
far more likely to become instructors themselves.
