[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are being too hard on OP.  She is processing and trying to figure out how to handle this.  Maybe not watching it is a possible solution she came up with and was trying out as an idea.  No need to say "some people shouldn't be parents", how uncalled for.  Be more supportive and help OP be the best mom she can be.[/quote]

I agree with this.

I'm surprised the teacher didn't do something more to help your daughter improve, OP!  The situation seems to be the teacher's fault more than your daughter's, poor thing.

Does your daughter enjoy the dancing or does it make her stressed out?  If the former, then just concentrate on that.  If the latter, then just send her positive energy beams of love and encouragement while she dances.  This seems like one of those moments where being loving is hard.  It's easy to watch a good performance; it's really hard to be there for a bad performance (either because it's painful for you aesthetically, or because it's painful for you to see your daughter struggle and not enjoy herself, or whatever).  Try to find three good things to say about her performance so that when you have to talk to her about it right afterward, you have something honest but positive to say.  Maybe you're proud of her for trying, or she did a particular turn or step well, or she seemed to be having fun, or you could see that her practicing paid off (because she was less bad than before, but of course leave that part out!), or she looked beautiful up there, or whatever.

Good luck to her and to you.  Let us know how it went![/quote]
