In order to take on the task of teaching another person, you really need to be an expert
Piffle. I've taught other people how to play medieval boardgames, and how to contradance, and how to do basic kumihimo. I'm nowhere near an "expert" in any of those things, but I know how to do them and how to tell someone else what they need to learn. You've had a pamphlet published on Italian Renaissance dance, which makes you at least far more of an expert than most people! If I were looking for someone to teach me about that, and I lived in your area, I'd certainly come to you first.
