You have a point there. A dance doesn't take priority over helping to bring down a criminal organization. Blake may have drifted into obsession, but in all honesty, her sense of urgency wasn't misplaced. Like you said, they should have done the intelligent thing and just told Ozpin or some other authority figure, but if they were committed, I don't see why they should have stopped.

I think that the whole thing really highlights the importance of Oobleck's question "why do you want to be a Huntress?" The way you describe it makes sense, that they were just overly confident because of their monster-hunting. Team RWBY had romanticized notions of Huntsmen and Huntresses as heroes and champions of justice, particularly Blake (at least, that's how it seemed to me). Shadowing an actual Huntsman and seeing what the job is really like, plus Oobleck's thought-provoking question, seemed to make WBY (as Ruby wasn't there) realize what being a Huntress really means. It might take more to get through to their fearless leader, but hopefully the rest of the team can learn from their experience and make smarter decisions next time. That, or the writers could take the show more seriously. Either would be fine!
