Loved his metaphors of the extravagant promises of beginner dance workshops. I had similar realizations when involved in Argentine tango in the late Nineties. There's similarity to the coding bootcamp phenomenon--the workshops generate graduates with overblown ideas of their competence, and the locals retreat from engaging with them, but the workshops can't profit by teaching slow, gradual improvement of a subtle art form over many years of practice.
