Vent: Dance 2008

Ok. I need to vent.
I'm sorry if you like this person of whom I'm not going to name but if you took dance classes while she was at the place I used to dance at then you know who I'm talking about.

Well if you currently take dance classes with this person you're not getting anything out of it. All she wants is to compete. That's not what dancing is all about. I want my old dance teacher Amanda back. She would actually make us work and we actually danced in class. None of this ok now we can talk forever crap like the teacher I had after her did. But at least that teacher wasn't as bad as the one I had before Amanda came. Talk about just plain out bad. She had her favorites. When you are a teacher you can't have favorites. Plus if you really wanted to be in one class and the only way you could was to take a lower class that you didn't need or want to take then you couldn't be in the class. Now I know I'm not a fantastic dancer but at least I know the basics and then some. I can dance on pointe. I can do a shanae turn. I can balance. I DO TRY! That's more then I can say about my class last year. Only 4 of us tried and it seemed like only 3 of us wanted to be there. Then you had the one girl who was too young to be in there. I just don't get it. Why is it the ones who try always don't get rewarded. Why is it once you quit they change everything and when you go to the recital you are embarrassed by their lack of talent. Now there was one of them who looked good... talking about the pointe dance. I wanted to put on my shoes and tart dancing to help but I knew I couldn't. So instead I went into the hallway and started to dance. I had my own solo that I had been working on for a few days and decided that would get the horrible images out of my mind. Of course I then felt bad because I had my own little audience in the hallway and they all wanted to know if I was in the recital.

It was just really sad seeing the kids with no experience dance better than the kids with years of experience.

So to those of you who were part of that group. I'm sorry.
To those of you who never left the group. I'm sorry.
I'm dancing with real dancers now.
