[quote=Anonymous][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]

Which level does she teach at BalletNova?[/quote]

Adult classes only now. My DD had her in JD 3.[/quote]
