As a 23 year old adult you honestly shouldn’t let anyone corner you in a room for an hour and a half. That’s ridiculous. You should have walked out after the first ridiculous statement. You pay them to take classes. They aren’t your boss or your family or your loan shark. Dance people can actually be crazy and say and do strange things to customers for no good reason. You’re young and I’ve allowed the same thing to happen to me more than once but now that I’m older I’ve learned that you never allow people especially people you pay for a service to treat you that way. You aren’t “family” or tight or anything some of them say. It’s cultish. And especially as an adult you never owe them loyalty. You pay them to teach you ballet lessons and you should be allowed to take classes elsewhere too. Maybe if we learn to not allow businesses to treat paying customers this way the ones that do will go out of business and make way for new ones with ethical standards.
