Aliciadenney,

Thank you for the referral to Amore Dance Studios.   I called Matthew
Decole, the owner and set up a lesson for tomorrow at the studio.  We
will go to Gilleys after spending some time in the studio.

Your recommendation may work out fine, and hopefully that will be the
case.  I must admit, however, that as a frequent Google Answers user,
I am accustomed to getting a more detailed response for a $200
question. I almost always submit my questions at the $200 response
category, because I like being as informed as possible on the topics
for which I request research.

I have taken studio ballroom dance lessons for many years, and only
recently have started learning country.  I am in fact currently taking
country dance lessons at the Authur Murray in Las Vegas that you
contacted.  You indicated that Arthur Murray would charge $150 per
hour for lessons "at Gilleys" which eliminated them as a choice
because I had asked for lessons at $100 per hour.   I'm quite certain
that Arthur Murray pays its instructors considerably less than $100
per hour, but when you take studio lessons, you have to cover the cost
of  running a dance studio, insurance, licensing, business taxes etc. 
A freelance instructor has none of those issues.

Although it would be a logical first step to call Las Vegas dance
studios and ask if they are willing to instruct "on location", I
thought that by going to Google Answers for reference, I would receive
research that went beyond checking into what local dance studios are
willing to offer.   It seems that in a city of more than a million
there are probably a number of people who are qualified and willing to
provide country dance lessons on a freelance basis but my difficulty
is finding out how to contact them.  Your search has resulted in only
one "lead" for me to pursue, so if that lead does not work out well, I
am back to square one.  I expected that a full search would result in
more than one recommendation for me to follow up on. You mentioned
that you searched "local dance message boards".  I have never used an
Intent message board, but perhaps if I posted an inquiry I would
eventually receive a response from a qualified instructor.  I don't
know what solutions full search would uncover, but I am left feeling
that there are other promising solutions to my issue out there that
have eluded your investigation of this topic.

I normally have been very happy with Google Answers work product.  I'm
sorry I can't be more enthusiastic about your research.

i dont feel u really answered my question. u provided very basic
information and dont believe my answer is worth 60. but thanks for the
help.

Thank you for your research. It got off to rocky start (perhaps my
request was not clear), but I am very satisfied with your answer (now
I just need to implement some of the information).
I would have very much liked to contact a couple of techies with
know-how, but I understand the rules. I guess they can always email
the website. We are all one big happy family there, and it will reach
me (I hope I was allowed to say that).
I hope to benifit from your skills in the future. 
By the way, just wanted to let you know, based on the comments in my
query, you certainly have a group of strange friends!

How do i connunicate directly with this researcher? They are sure on
the right track and I am going to need more questions answered by
them? This researcher has access to some sites that I am not a member
of. I would like to do more work with them specifically.

Fast and accurate. Thank you.

This Information was vary helpful, but i will continue to search for
more answers and explanation from your resources.  I feel the only way
to help my father is to better understand what he is going through,
thank you for your help.

The answer was very helpful and by using the information it provided I
was able to use the web to find more providers of the service I was
looking for--providers that the researcher did not find.

Excellent answer. I truly appreciate the thorough and well-explained
research methods.... I've got more research to do like this so keep an
eye out for similar questions from me. Thanks.

Thank you for the wonderful input in the face of a subjective question!

It looks like the college I was leaning towards, Brooklyn College, is
going to be out of the question.  Princeton Review rates them #14 for
"Professors Make Themselves Scarce" and #17 for "Teaching Assistants
Teach Too Many Upper-Level Courses".  Doesn't sound like the kind of
place I'd like to study.

I'm trying to go to college in NYC, and study Speech Communications. 
The Jesuit university in NYC, Fordham, has a Communications and Media
program, which might be close enough to Speech Communications, but
Fordham is selective and expensive...

Back to the drawing board!  Thanks again for your input.

She was awesome!  Above and beyond the call of the question give me
exactly the information I was looking for.  Thank you for having such
a high quality service.

excellent research!

thank you...

I don’t believe that in was worth while investment ($30.00)!
As an example, I had to re-research the 1st question because it was a
run on sentence and I COULDN'T TELL WHAT DEPTARMENT WAS WHAT. Doesn't
anyone know how to use a comma?

Thank you for a complete answer.  It is very helpful to me!  You did a
great job researching and I appreciated you following up with my
clarification so quickly.  Nice job :)
