The dance part made no sense. They should have thrown in some line like "My mother had me learn it, but I skipped it to go riding with Daniel" or something, because as everyone's pointing out, for a social climbing, heartless, driven-to-the-point-of-multiple-murder mother like Cora it would be impossible not to teach her daughter the most basic court event etiquette. Hell, Cora was a freaking miller's daughter and she could blend in and dance. Imo, if dancing lessons needed it be, they should have handled it better and state it was a deliberate choice on Regina's part not to learn it.

Back on the main character developement train, this last episode made me rather content with Regina's three-season-and-a-half, slippery-sloppy, relapse-ridden redemption arc. It's a much better, more believable and solid plotline than what we got there.
