Worshipping a stack of USD $ instead of Nataraja? (or if the non-commercialized gurus are extinct...)

 I wonder if anyone knows a dance guru who is more interested in imparting all of his knowledge to his students rather than in squeezing as much money out of them as possible.

It is not a big secret that most famous dance gurus build their schools as a monopolistic business structure.

So, such gurus make sure that even their "senior" students (who teach the "ordinary" students) receive only a partial training.

Limiting one's senior students' expertise is important if their guru wants to control them until such senior students grow so old and physically unfit that they are unable to peform all the elements that their guru has taught.
