haha, i am glad that he was Indian at least, but... yeah. i don't know how i feel about that. you can actually learn a lot by watching video clips, but- but- at the same time, it just makes some part of me go "?!?!?" like, watching is a great way to see what moves that are/were being used, but it's not the same as having a Bollywood dancer physically show you how to do them, in terms of the effectiveness of the end-product execution. (kind of in the way that i can watch tons of clips of professional ballroom routines, but without a coach to actually tell me what/how i'm doing things wrong and manhandle me into the right positions, my technique suffers, i am clueless as to what is actually going on vs. what appears to be going on, etc. etc.)
and yes, i agree on the apparent nebulousness of the terms (Bollywood, African) being thrown around/touted as "styles." i'm still clueless on how one ought to use them, though!
I can babble about this show FOREVER!-- so can i, apparently. xD
