It's all about "shin" (heart).
Your school is procuring other schools to learn from, that is an excellent way to learn your stuff. My only problem is with people who only learned from a video or saw a dance once and is immitating it now for their own profit.
I'm sure you are learning with your heart in the right place and being guided properly. If the Asian community supports you that is even better, keep up the hard work, the entire community (not just the Asian) appreciates and gains by schools like yours.

speaking of lion dancing....
i am really curious as to the other styles of 'lion' dancing, such as the kei lun and pei yao. to my understanding, the pei yao is the fu dog common in feng shui... those little guardian doggies u see at the entrances of temples. anyone know anything about it? like what region in china it orginated from, and if there really is a dance for it...
also, does anyone know the chinese name for the green masked lion that looks like a monster? it's really hideous looking! :eek: i think it's called the fukien lion, but i'm not sure...
thanks!
