Yes, in a certain way I sometimes feel that trying to destroy stereotypes is like fighting a Hydra - you cut of one head and fifty other dancers will come to town telling just the same lie about the Mother Goddess thing. It sometimes makes me desperate because I say to myself, no matter what I do, there will always be this one dancer somewhere who's going to tell all these invented "historic facts" and all....but then I realize that I love this dance so much I cannot give up, and there would be one knight less to fight the inaccuracy-stereotype-hydra beast.
