In what way does your anecdote support your assertion that "a year is much too long"?

I learned to dance from an awful starting point in 10 weeks, and got very good in 20. You don't need a year.

But you were focusing on a single style. You can finish a single college course in less than 2 weeks, but the entire curricullum will take you at least a year.
