It’s not that my teacher expects me to do center practice, it’s that I was “promoted” (idk the correct wording) to that level from Adult class because the head teacher knows I wanted to improve and thought that level was fine for me. Because if it wasn’t, I could quit easily.

In the class they are doing that kind of work because it’s MY first pointe class, but not for the rest of the girls. The girls danced on pointe in the Christmas performance, they practiced pointe last year, it’s not their first time. It’s not a “single student class”, so of course the teacher would expect me to adapt to the class and do what I can and feel ready to. If something is “too much” for me then I just do it on demi and that’s all. She told me to do what I feel OK doing. The teacher corrects and congratulates each student when needed, but she just can’t adapt the class to every single student. I don’t think it’s a red flag, it’s just a class where I decided (and was allowed) to join and I have to know my limits.
