The point is not that videos do not have anything to offer but that one doesn't 
really learn to dance from them; they expand one's knowledge, which is 
different.  I watch videos as do most people.  To comment about videos while 
having 10 yrs or more of dancing experience under your belt misses the point I 
was making about beginners learning from them.  An advanced dancer has the 
benefit of prior knowledge and hindsight.  Also the real reason anyone is a 
good dancer lies in Martin's own answer, i.e. he dances 6 nights a week, not 
that he watches videos.  The best dancers, at least in terms of technical 
facility, are usually the ones who dance the most.  That is a basic truism of 
all dances.
