[quote=Anonymous]I think it's very sad that dance moms have to resort to DCUM to express their frustration when a simple call to TWSB would suffice.  I think you've made your point known and have been too public about it.  Some things are better done privately.  Beating up on teachers during COVID is not nice.

That being said, having had many Russian, Danish and other foreign ballet teachers, what you describe is really nothing. Ballet teachers are notorious for carrying rulers and poking and jabbing with them.  Ballet teachers also tend to reserve their corrections only for students with real talent.  Otherwise they are wasting their breath.  I yawned once at the ballet barre and my well-known Russian teacher asked me if I was tired.  I said "Yes, finals, etc." and he correctly told me then never to come to class again.  It goes with the territory.  If you have complaints then call TWSB or move on to a less rigorous art form.  It's only going to get worse when you hit the company level.  And when the teachers stop correcting and stop looking, that's when you know you've been passed over. [/quote]
