Question: Should I quit tap dancing!?
My new tap teacher is really mean and she told us that the tap teacher we had before was not a good teacher, and everything she taught us was wrong!. She basically told me that I'm bad at tap, she pushes us harder than we should be pushed!.
What do you think I should do!? Should I quit or not!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

NO! Don't quit! I was in your situation a few years ago!. Our old tap teacher had quit and we got a new one!. He was meaaaan!. He never yelled at me, but he yelled at pretty much everyone else in the class!. He made two girls run out of the room crying that year!. I couldn't stand him!. He only stayed around for two years (so basically two recitals) before he left to start his own studio!.
Now that I look back at it he made us improve soooo much because he was very strict!. And when I look back at my past tap routines the best ones are the two that he choreographed!. Sometimes you need a strict teacher and to be pushed harder in order to improve!. Trust me, your new tap teacher may be mean, but by the end of the year you may be thanking her for it!. :)
Don't quit something you love just because of your teacher! If that was the case then I would never have finished high school since most of my teachers were horrible! You just have ignore it, grow from it, and get on her good side!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Don't quit!. Push harder and get better!. When the new teacher finally praises you, it will mean so much more to you!.
The fact of the matter is, in the real world not everyone is nice and not everyone is going to coddle you!. You have to be willing to take criticism and learn from it, be stronger!.
Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
No way don't quit!. You'll regret it later!. It sounds like she knows what she's talking about, and even if she's not the nicest person, she just wants you to be a better tap dancer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
