I should know as I am both. Years ago you could do anything and get away with it, anything could be squashed under the umberella of 'belly dance' but not any more and thank goodness.

Quite right, we *are* consumers and Neon, especially, is a product with a marketing machine behind it. As paying customers, students have every right to give their opinions of the quality of teaching and theatre audiences, likewise. The belly dance "community" seems especially reluctant to give honest reviews of shows in its magazines. I'd like to see a "Good Housekeeping" style comparison of teachers' classes, for instance, but that's never going to happen!
