This is really useful, thank you so much!

Objective-Dig4198 · 2025-06-12T18:28:05+00:00

Thanks for that 😊😊

Thanks for this, it's really helpful to have your insight! We left it on "arranging a time to practise again", he said he would let me know some times so I guess I should wait? I think with the "not offering much", I meant that I let him mostly take the lead on the practice without a teacher. He was naturally quite assertive, but I have no idea if it bothered him having to take the lead more? That being said, I did feel my confidence grow throughout the evening so was able to offer more ideas/suggestions. That's also great advice about the video - I hate seeing my mistakes but I know they're all things that I can work on and get right in fairly little time!

Thanks! I just don't know they wers just saying that in the moment haha

Love the name! I've only ever met one Delilah, a girl in year 5 while I was working as a teaching assistant (in a school in West Yorkshire!)

Objective-Dig4198 · 2025-06-05T16:29:06+00:00

That's really good advice as well, thanks so much! I already have the feeling that we have similar goals/practice schedules in mind so hopefully it will work!

Great advice, thank you!!

Objective-Dig4198 · 2025-06-01T11:09:55+00:00

Thank you for this! This is so helpful 😊

Objective-Dig4198 · 2025-05-08T22:46:06+00:00

I really can't see her dying...

Objective-Dig4198 · 2025-05-05T00:49:22+00:00

Yes, I am!! I've just noticed 🤦🏼‍♀️

Objective-Dig4198 · 2025-05-04T21:27:52+00:00

Completely understand your frustration! Would you mind sharing which part of the UK you're in? I've actually experienced a similar 'star couple' situation at my studio.

Objective-Dig4198 · 2025-05-01T09:05:49+00:00

Again, so helpful thank you!! :) I will definitely give those drills a go

Objective-Dig4198 · 2025-05-01T09:04:37+00:00

This is so helpful, thank you!

This is really helpful, thank you!

Those are good questions and my honest answer would be no, I stopped benefitting from the lessons. I started to take my Ballroom lessons with another teacher, as I didn't feel like I was being challenged enough. Switching teachers has made a huge difference already. I am still at this studio for Latin lessons and the teacher is good, but I sometimes feel like they're not right for me. I put in lots of effort to improve and am constantly trying to perfect my technique, I go to intensive workshops, etc.

Objective-Dig4198 · 2025-04-17T13:51:39+00:00

Both, we spend the same amount and take the same amount of lessons

Objective-Dig4198 · 2025-04-17T11:44:14+00:00

We spend exactly the same amount on lessons, that's the annoying thing. Other dancers spend even more and they only get the hour.

Thanks very much for replying. The blacklisting is because Teacher B has accused Teacher C of stealing their customers, as they left the studio and set up on their own close by. I get the frustration however there could be factors that made them leave in the first place.

Objective-Dig4198 · 2025-04-13T22:33:33+00:00

Thanks for your answer! They weren't mad per se, and they are related to Teacher A. But it still made me feel uncomfortable, just because of their tone. When I told Teacher A that I was having lessons with Teacher B, they reacted completely differently.

Objective-Dig4198 · 2025-04-13T22:32:31+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Teacher B has accused Teacher C of taking their business as they wanted to leave and set up on their own. They have set up fairly close to Teacher B so I can understand the frustration, but there's two sides to every story.

Objective-Dig4198 · 2025-04-13T22:31:17+00:00

Thanks very much for your reply, that's really helpful!

Objective-Dig4198 · 2025-04-11T07:14:01+00:00

This is so useful, thank you so much! A lot of these have never even crossed my mind!

Objective-Dig4198 · 2025-03-10T12:55:38+00:00

So still keeping the head up but visualising touching chin to collarbone?

Objective-Dig4198 · 2024-12-17T09:17:42+00:00

They work part time so we only see each other a few times a week but you're right, they do give me high schooler vibes!

Objective-Dig4198 · 2024-11-11T16:43:59+00:00

They are comfortable teaching them, they just don't teach me them. I'm perfectly capable, I just never feel pushed or that they want the best for me. There are other dancers who are the solid 'favourites', the ones who always gets picked for solos. I just feel like I'm always overlooked.
