I'm a student, young and quite very possibly naive. I hope to be a pro... one day.
I've been seeing this kind of thing on a few websites of professional bellydancers and bellydance teachers.
"Introducing the latest fad / craze/ style exclusive to/invented by (insert dancer's name) RAQS-A-GO-GO (or some such - often a fusion)™"
This bothers me, but I can't put my finger on it. Perhaps it's the overt commercialisation, or the fact that I don't see how an entire style can be created by one individual, or maybe even that it is just too obvious an attempt to stand out from the crowd, when really the quality of the dancer ought to speak for itself?
how do you guys feel about it?
