dont quit! if you love ballet you should not quit because of a teacher!. I have had many teachers like that and if they are putting you down rather than bringing you up then maybe switch studios!. I am a dance major, i love ballet but trust me i do not have the ballerina body!. A good teacher will never put down for you body, they are there to improve you and make you better not tell you your fat etc!. I would say switch studios or switch teachers!. that teacher is not worth your time and you should find one that is truly interested in you getting better not putting you down!. also if you do not want to switch studios or teachers then you need to talk to the teacher!. i have a teacher now that yells and yells at us to do better, even though he just wants us to progress he still gets to me so i talked to him and he has lowered it!.

It depends!. If you love ballet SO much, then you can maybe take another class fro extra training, if you don't like it, then quit!. If she tells you how BAD you are, then she's just a BAD teacher!. I know how you feel, it hurts to be put down, especially by a teacher!.

i know how you feel! my teacher dosent actually tell me that i am bad but i can tell that she she is thinking it!.!.!.i just started taking ballet again but i have danced modern for like 7 years but i am not very good at ballet when we get off of the barre!. i would quit the class and take it either with a different teacher or at a different studio but dont quit if you really like it

good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well first of all you could request another teacher, or you could tell her that you are trying to become more flexible and want more turn-out and ask her for tips to show you care!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some people are just horrible no matter how hard they try!. Sounds like ballet is not for you!. Especially if you have horrible feet and are not very flexible!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
