How ironic and perfect for you to choose this example. Most critics are
hack, failures who envy directors and are only wanna be film makers.
However, some critics actually understand film making. Do dancers understand
music making EVEN if you can't? In other words pedestrian criticism is
worthless. Informed criticism is constructive.

We don't need to be made to listen but, guess what if we listen and are
spoken to that way, yeah we'll stop listening!

My point is have some respect! Then perhaps learning better communication
skills so musicians can learn what dancers want might go further in your
attempts to get what you want.
