Agreed. I don't care whether my classmate thinks belly dance is an ancient rite or fun-in-the-harem. Whatever floats your boat. But I DO care if a teacher starts teaching HER personal perceptions as if they were historical fact, and I very much care if the teaching of belly dance is affected by these personal perceptions. e.g. you have to be really sexy because you are trying to seduce the sultan, or treating it like some sort of religous rite rather than a form of entertainment.

PS. I think I'm getting sensitised to that voiceover now, can't even stomach a few seconds...
