Position:Home>Dancing> What can I do to get my teachers attention?


Question:I started ballet when I was 6 untill 10 then I quit. When I was 14 I started back up again, now I am 16. I know what you are thinking, ok this girl sucks. But I don't I have a nack for it and I am in the top lvl at my studio. Our studio won a award for being the best studio in the south (that includs all the states in the south, Louisiana, Mississippi, Flordia, Alabama, New Mexico, Arozona and south California) So we are a good school. Well I have 4 different teachers, 3 of them love me and one hates my guts (not kidding she hates me) I really want to be the arabian in our Nutcracker when I turn 18. That is the best spot in our nutcracker it is a Pas De Deaux part. They give 2 girls that part (normally 2 out of our 4 best dancers the other 2 get Azelia fairie) Well I have the strength, and almost the flexabilty and my pointe could use some work. And you also have to know Mrs. Sharron (the owner of the studio) really well. What can I do to get Mrs. Sarron to notice me?

1st of all, i dont think u suck...starting later than others dont make u stupid...

anyway, try talking 2 ur teacher, may b there is something u hv 2 work on or something that shes trying 2 teach u..the best is 2 talk 2 her honestly but respectfully (remember, u r the student)

all da best

Smile and realize you can still be a good person even if you are not the arabian in you nutcracker, you already sound like a nice person and that is more important. Good Luck, I do hope that you get to be the Arabian, it sounds like you deserve it.

My dear,It is your difference from others that creates your personality.You may be wrong in naming your teacher's lack of attention to you as hatred.Her expectations from you could be higher than you have already presumed.Think positively and try to be truthful and honest.Don't hesitate from disclosing what you feel.Talk to her frankly.You could be wrong.Bless you.Sirji. http://sirji-bookworld.blogspot.com

The easiest thing would be to ask her to give you private lessons (which you'd have to pay extra for).

Just study hard,be smart and stay humble.

Well... maybe you should try and asking her why she doesn't pay attention to you and ask her if there was anything you did to make her not pay attention to you... Just be confident and try your hardest and maybe then she will notice you.
