Do you feel the bellydance community should be more open about its real feelings about a dancer's ability? Are we just too eager to say 'you were brilliant' in the hope that they'll say the same about us. Is there a level of fear or shame about saying, 'actually, you weren't that good, but well done for trying.'?
Do your teachers give constructive feedback, or do they just give encouraging platitudes to make sure you keep paying next term? Is this just giving people the wrong messages about the level of skill required to dance (let alone to bellydance)? If you teach, how do you give feedback? Do you give any? As a student/performer, do you like to hear the negative comments just as much as the positive?
