What is going on?
I'm on several message boards for different things, and I'm increasingly seeing people calling themselves a "bellydancer" and when I ask who they're learning from, what format, etc. they respond with, "I'm learning from YouTube."
WTF???!!!!!
I wish I had a magic stick. I could hit people with it and knock some sense into them.
Did you think you could learn ballet from watching YouTube? How about a martial art?
I realize the transmission of Oriental dance in culture is a little different than a ballet class, but STILL!!!!!
Of course, this explains the myriad videos ON YouTube of people claiming to be bellydancers. Garbage in, garbage out, I suppose...
