Question: Their is this girl in my ballet class who is really bad!. WHat should we do!?
So This girl says she has taken dance for several years!. but she cant even do chenay turns!. she is always staring at me and the other girls during barre because she doesnt know how to do it!. She is slow and clumsy!. We are all very nice to her and try to give her extra help but it doesnt seem to work!. and this wouldnt bother me except for the fact that she tottaly flubs performances!. like we will all be in time and she will be just kind of flopping around, and she sometimes holds the rest of the class back because the teacher has to stop so much to give her extra help!. What should we do!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have no business dealing with her at all!. If you have a complaint about the teacher taking too much time with her or if you feel she holds the whole class back you need to bring that up in private with the teacher or the director of the studio!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Some people are just not made for dance or need it explained a different way!. Or it takes them longer!. It happens!.
Discuss, politely, with her the problem and offer to help her with moves that she has trouble with after class of during breaks!. For some people, you just have to repeat it over and over until it's muscle memory!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
i feel your pain!. last year there was this girl who told my class the same thing!. what you need to do is tell her in a nice way that it looks like she is confused!. do not tell her that she is bad, though!. offer to tutor her outside class!. get together with her a few times a week to help her improve!. even if you may look dumb helping her, she will hopefully improve with the extra help from you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
There's nothing you can do, just try to help her if you can!. Hey, I work in entertainment and most people who have lead roles have no clue!.!.!. it's part of the package!. You'll get used to it and shrug it off!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
just be nice and ask her if she needs any help!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Maybe you should only make her do steps that she can easily perform!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
ohh thats the same with our gymnatics class,only somethims there are two of them! we tryed helping them but they bouth just couldn't do the stuff, they can't even do a hand stand or cart wheel while the rest of us are on to back walkovers and hand springs! we just cut them in any line, (try and keep them in the back if they are slow ;) and just try to help her a little longer if she doesn't copereate, leave her to suffer!. then maybe she won't come back ,( or maybe she'll go into easer classes :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
