Yes, it is a combination of many factors.
Bad teaching is high on the list, but who decides who is good or bad?
On the open stage at Raqs B perhaps 10% of the dancing was to MED music.
How can this not be a threat whether good or bad? I love good fusion but the popularity over MED dance is frightening.
Are people truly bored with MED dance and music? I believe so
After going to x amount of classes do they decide it does not suit them or their personality so the take what they want and add it to some Judas Priest?
One class I went to years ago when I first started, had us gyrating to Jimi Hendrix... the same rubbish teacher is still teaching the same choreography to students 15 years later.
I experiment with dance and drama and I do love good fusion but it is over taking everything now. MED is now diluted in the UK and good practitioners are few and far between.
You watch some people do fusion and you just know they have never ever learned the fusion they are doing and are making it up from a video.
What is that about? boredom, money, inventiveness??...
