Long story (very long) but I danced here for 20 years. My initial teacher was amazing and I think if she hadn't sold the school, I could of been potentially encouraged to follow this career path from an early age. The school was sold to someone else and the discipline and standards have dropped a fair bit. It is definitely more of a kids club vibe in some situations.
The class I am bringing up do ballet, tap, modern and contemporary. I was using ballet as an example that they are talented - but don't engage.
I am wanting to be here long term, the goal is that once I'm qualified, I will become the head and the head will take a step away. So it's in my best interest. Plus- what a waste of talent!
