That's correct, the Dutch rolls help train me to keep the nose pointed straight. Seems especially beneficial during landing.
I'm sorry but a "dutch" Roll is a good rudder coordination maneuver. It does not have to be violent or dangerous.

abart,
here is the definition of a dutch roll:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_roll>
here is the definition of a barrel roll:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_roll>
Generally, you should not be learning either maneuver while learning to fly.
The dutch roll is a stability problem with air planes
The barrel roll is a aerobatic maneuver that most air planes are not safe to
perform (most air planes (other than stunt planes) have prohibitions on
maneuvers that bring the wings and/or nose more than 60 degrees from horizontal.)
