Growing up as a dancer at a young age, I found myself resorting to YouTube as a source of learning. I always had to keep in mind that I either had to find a "mirrored" dance tutorial or manually learn a dance with opposite body parts if I couldn't find the mirrored videos. So even outside of academic education, I've been using online learning as a tool to further my knowledge in my skill of dance.
Full transparency, I was looking for a dance tutorial under the "Creative Commons" filter and I actually found a really good breaking (/breakdance) tutorial from B-boy Jeromeskee from Massive Monkees Crew based out of Seattle whom I am very familiar with as I have attended some of their events that were held in Vancouver. Aside from pieces of choreography that I would try to learn, I would also refer to videos like these that are primarily based on individual fundamental moves such as top-rocks or footwork.
Not only is YouTube incredibly useful for dancers to further their skill and knowledge, it's also useful for learning skills in other hobbies. All you gotta do is type in your hobby and add on "tutorial" on the end and you are provided with a never-ending list of helpful resources via video.
