Dance Teacher


Question Posted Wednesday January 25 2006, 5:38 pm

I'm so pissed! I take this lyrical class for beginners because its my first year. I've been taking dance for 5 years though, so I'm pretty good. All the other kids in my class SUCK! They're horrible and look so awkward. Even though I'm one of the best in my class I feel like the worst.

My teacher corrects every LITTLE thing I do wrong. I'm the only one she's ever correcting! Everyone else sucks, but they still don't get anything negative on their dancing!! She claims that she's doing me a "favor" my correcting me, but why doesn't she do all THEM a favor and help them cuz they need it more than I do?? My friend tells me that this teacher pushes the people who are good. i don't know if this applies to me though. As you can see i'm REALLY pissed about this because I'm used to being the best at everything... school, sports, you name it!

your teaches probably sees your potential and knows that she can help you improve and be the best. she may not be doing it to the other kids because they don't have the potential that you do. hope i helped! <3

your teacher is doing it because she thinks you're good... it's a hard thing to understand but it's true. would she correct someone she thought didn't have potential? when she ignores you THEN worry about it. Just keep doing everything and try your hardest. later you'll get moved up to a better class and leave the suck-y kids in the beginner class. it's just how life is... <3

Dear dance student,
Your dance teacher is just giving you help and correcting you because your teacher thinks you have more potential than the others and that you are going to succeed in dancing so she wants to help you be the best you can. If you think your teacher is still doing to much wait one day after everyone leaves and ask your dance teacher about it ask her why she doesn't correct anyone else. See what she says you might be surprised. I hope I helped. ~MESACHICK51~

I can relate to what you're going through. I used to be in dance lessons when I was a young teen. But I found that the opposite was true with me. My dance teacher never corrected the really good dancers, infact she adored them. But she hated me because I was one of the worst ones. She always rode my ass in class. She even had the nerve to YELL at me, yes YELL at me in front of the whole class because I failed to show up to a rehearsal before a performance. It was so bad that I dropped out of the class. I think she did this to me hoping that I would drop out because she thought I was shit and was embarrassed to have me dance with the ones that she thought were really good.
If you are as good as you say you are ( I'm sure you are dear), then I really have no idea why she would be doing this to you. You would think she would be praising you, and making an example out of you. If you are her best dancer, you should be a model student to the others.
If I were you I would make an appointment to speak to your teacher after or before class. Tell her your concerns, and let her know that you don't appreciate her always picking on you, especially when you're one of the best dancers. If she won't give you a good explanation, or apologize for her behavior, I think you should switch to either a different class or a new dance school where they will treat you with the respect that you deserve.

She's correcting you because you're good. Trust me, I'm a blackbelt.
The noobs need extra support and the good people need corrections to perfect thier skill.
It sounds like you are the best.
