Caveat! Getting into the habit of analyzing teachers like that, you may never stop...

Being able to differentiate details between different
dancers or teachers is an important skill if one wants to
really improve.  Read the details, find their marketing
niche.  Good teachers develop particular strengths and
styles.  So a community could have many "best" dancers, but
they are the "best" for different things.

I only use personal references from dancers I respect whose
tastes are similar to mine, since I don't have Igor's
unlimited income for buying video tapes and classes.
 :)

I have figured out that one doesn't necessarily need to
study from "the best", only from someone who is better at
something than you are.
