No, not egotiscal - but I doubt if a teacher will change her course goals for one student. Far better to find a teacher who already teaches aspects of this and encourage her to expand. For instance by asking questions and looking interested (because there may be others in the class who are not interested and after a few months of eye rolling and disinterest the teacher might just give up and go back to teaching hip drops - but one person showing obvious interst could encourage her).When I start to search for a new teacher (and I realize there's a sticky somewhere about picking a teacher) do you think it would be worth my time explaining my background to them and that I am interested in learning the culture and customs associated? Or does that come across as egotistical?
