[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain how bullying happens in a ballet class? I’m honestly confused. Don’t the kids just show up for class and do what the instructor says and go home? Is it happening at rehearsals for ballets? [/quote]
The older kids stay at MYB for hours with back to back classes. In between, they in the corridors, stretching and warming up or cooling down. One young adult dancer in particular just kept saying nasty stuff, with absolutely no reprimand from above. [/quote]

Why would a “young adult dancer” be at MYB except to take the occasional adult class? I know there might be a few 18 year old high school seniors in the Academy program. Was that what you meant? This is one reason why MYB ought to re-open the family waiting areas. We, as parents, help monitor such behavior and our mere presence might cause kids to act a little better. This is true at school or at dance or athletics.

The days of parents hanging in the waiting area are long over.

Actually, not quite true. Parents of young children in dance classes are welcome to wait upstairs. [/quote]

Only the gossipy toxic ones hang.  The better ones have better things to do. [/quote]

Gossipy toxic parents of six and unders? Lol. This has not been my experience. People are either working, reading, or chatting about kid-related stuff. I do recall a conversation among moms about how we all hoped this ballet thing was a phase. Maybe that’s what you mean by toxic?[/quote]

It can get very much like sn episode of Dance Moms.[/quote]
