Banish that thought right now, watching yourself on video is the most depressing thing anyone can do...
We all have a mental image of what we look like, and generally, it is very removed from reality... This is not a bad thing, most people's perception of what we look like is nowhere near as critical as we would be, and (in theory), the only perception that matters is that of your partner, and she will have a different perspective; what you look like is a lot less important than what you feel like!
Videos are useful for anyone who wants to compete (when appearances are more important), to correct small idiosyncracies in your dancing, but as you said, not for the faint-hearted!
