I agree, kind of, and I accept the fact that she is very young but, at the end of the day she is not just some random kid who's seen Moulin Rouge too many times getting trapped in front of camera. She's setting herself up as a
Burlesque teacher. People who teach things are supposed to know about the things they teach and it's horribly evident that she not only hasn't got a clue about Burlesque but hasn't even bothered to find out about it before setting herself up as a teacher/spokeswoman for it in the press!
Given that, we have every right to be less than sympathetic to Steph - she chose to earn her money by "teaching" something she knows nothing about, she chose to make an utter fool of herself on camera and announce her ignorance for all to see. Those were her choices not ours and they have a negative effect on something we are passionate about (I cringe at the idea of someone watching the inept writhings on display in the video and thinking that
that is what Burlesque is :yuk
, so why are we the bad people for calling her out on it? How would a physicist feel about a school physics teacher who announced that the sun went around the earth - would they be mean for pointing out that such a person should not be teaching?

We're just oh so lucky up in Edinburgh to have the luxury of two of the best teachers - Gypsy and Viva - and for that we're all very thankful.
