in dance: the psychological consequences

reproduce below an article posted on the blog Psychology Gabriella chioce.
In the original there is a reference to my article on the presumption of some masters of dance.
" Consequent to the sentence of an article written by Max Raso about the distinction between" criticism as a negative evaluation and criticism (criticism) and understood as a critical study to UNTIMELINESS OR UNAUTHENTICITY establish the truth "I would like to make some personal psychological considerations. In the first case (negative feedback and criticism as criticism, "criticism"), the intention of him that "criticism", is sometimes destructive, though often the criticism may have some positive implications and represent a starting point to start constructive confrontation: the important thing is knowing how to do a critique and be able to accept different opinions from their own! Often, the individual is brought up to show him who is the subject of criticism, all the negative characteristics that perceives itself, all his failures, real or alleged, at the base of which you could hide a sort of inferiority complex. Unable to reach certain goals in life, to overcome its been frustrating, he resorts to constant comparison with the other with a view to finding out about himself "the rot" and all that is positive in itself. " And 'this, probably, the syndrome which suffers most of the dancing masters in the last decade (I am speaking environment salsa). Have you ever wondered why the sauce is becoming increasingly less and especially you are disclosing specific socio-cultural contexts? Analyzing the situation of Taranto, this phenomenon could be explained by the fact that individuals who are hungry for "reputation" and that in life they never had the opportunity to realize their aspirations (or for individual reasons or for social reasons) go in search of something, some activity that makes them overcome that sense of "impotence which, for once in your life, have all experienced. The factors responsible for their condition could be traced for example in the lack of certainties in life, in the state of unemployment in an unrewarding job or simply repressed desire to feel "alive." While some people react to similar situations using their potential, skills or for those who, continuing his studies, he spent culture, others chasing success and salary "easy" without knowing how to do anything (see the example of big brother or, if the master of dance, improvise teacher par excellence). Adler stated: "the feeling of inferiority to superiority and aspiration exist in all human beings. We are driven to act because we feel inferior, and get over our inferiority complex after a struggle a success. Unfortunately, it is also common to see people who are placed solely motivated by the objectives of the false sense of inferiority and lead them to an alienated way of life. We must expose the fictitious behavior and channel their energies on purpose truly in line with its own identity. " It must be said, however, that this situation is legitimized by a society relying more on image than on skills! What happens in the sauce? Probably in this context, some people initially think they enroll in the course of a simple dance for fun, but, in reality, what they "move" and warned of what really is nothing urgent. This fact can be deduced from the fact that enough to have only done one year of the course, even three months to be ready to teach, to be already "masters par excellence! And the other teachers? Will clearly "Critical". But this is not enough! Yes, because those "new masters" so angry with the world to their existential situation will promote "divisions", "strife", "separation". And what will the outcome of the sauce? THE END! In all things, you know, it requires collaboration, cooperation and confrontation, in the case of the sauce, must take place between teachers, associations, lovers of salsa, etc.. That's why I believe that the responsibility for this situation is due to teachers who do not submit these values! Only by overcoming the criticism and promoting collaboration will be possible to allow the dance to continue to live and not to "Survive"! "
