[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG, PP here again, that is most definitely her. I know she teaches at another school/ schools in the area (Ballet Nova maybe?), and she pulled the same crap when she started teaching Level 2 at TWSB two or so years ago. Many parents complained, and lots of kids left. You would think that leadership might take notice, especially since TWSB funds the company, but no. That teacher has some Mariinsky connections that got a few TSWB students to perform with them in minor roles at the KC a couple of years ago, so I guess that makes her too valuable. (She actually only ever danced in regional former Soviet Union companies, nothing particularly impressive.) [/quote]

Yup, that's her, sadly. We're at BalletNova. My DD got through the year but there were definitely days with tears and stomach aches from nerves. DD didn't want to leave her friends so we stuck it out but it was hard to take. I'm reminded now too that DD said she used to pinch the kids with her long fingernails to correct their posture (found this out afterward... that would have been the last straw). Sounds like it's a silver lining that it's all online this year so she has an audience...[/quote]

Yes, I keep telling my daughter that this is one of the few positives of the pandemic, other than reduced traffic. 😉 If you are on the X track at TWSB, you cannot avoid her in Level 2. So glad I can listen in on this, though I actually have better things to do, and that she has to keep her nails off kids this year.

I’m glad your daughter made it through. I hope she’s enjoying ballet again. It really shouldn’t have to be like that. [/quote]
