Yes I am also very upset about that! And worse, when I try to point it out to some dancers/teachers that they should not teach this mother-goddes-thing and rather look at the evolution of the dance they really teach (which is a 20th century thing mostly, though derived from earlier dances), they get angry and tell me that I don't know nothing about the 5000 years or so long history of the dance, that it is as ancient as the pyramids etc. and priestresses in temples etc and sacred "curtisans" etc...
d*mn!
