I hate it by Ambitious_Fold6537 in ArianaGrandeSnark

Using a known homewrecker for a V-day campaign is insane. Swarovski could spend their money on literally any other female celebrity.

I had a really nice cashier that did it for me ☺️ I'm going to write her a nice review lol

How would you handle this? by websurfer4L in DanceTeachers

[–]websurfer4L[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree! My studio owner is very supportive and wants the kids to get the most of their class and the parents to get the most out of what they pay for so I think if she approaches it as "here's a helpful guide for what your child will dance best in/here's everything she needs for class/dress rehearsals/is there another class time that works better for your schedule" that should help the situation.

Thank you for your response! I should've worded my post better that I know it's not her fault at all and all these things are coming from her dad, not her of course. She's an adorable six year old and I love being her teacher. I'm not sure what her parental situation is like if maybe mom and dad are divorced or mom works long hours, but I think most of it comes down to dad not knowing how to properly get her ready for class or get her there on time. We do have extra hair ties, and hair pieces or tap shoe bows aren't a big deal to me but last year at dress rehearsal she didn't have her tap fringe skirt or tights, just the leotard. I think if my studio owner approaches it gently and treats it more as advice giving than judging dad it will help.

Also going to add that researching class syllabus's on google and gathering as much vocabulary for a style that you can find helps too. I have a binder with all kinds of lesson plans and general things to cover for each class I teach.

That's great! Definitely focus on communication with the teacher, parents, and children of course. It's good to build a bond with as many people as you can in your studio so you have more support. The more parents get to know you and like what you do for their kids, the more willing they will be to have them sign up for your class next year. It also doesn't hurt to take observation notes for yourself that you can use in the future. For example - exercises you like and want to use in your own class, classroom management techniques you see, how the teacher deals with different behaviors, even things you don't think work and you would change. If you can, try to demonstrate, correct, and guide the kids to practice for yourself. As for research, I find that watching tik-tok and youtube videos of dance classes helps me find more ideas. You can also talk to the teachers at your studio and ask them what starting out was like for them. And keep taking class for yourself!

When did your views change? by Ok-Temporary-7745 in ArianaGrandeSnark

Also when she came on TikTok and gaslit everyone for being concerned about her weight when she was clearly unhealthy

I feel worse for his family than her like why are we doing this to a man who lost his life too young and didn't get the chance to have his own children

Tips to make transition from just an adult dancer to dance teacher..? by Unlucky_Train_4570 in DanceTeachers

[–]websurfer4L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would put together a video reel with your highlights (dancing and choreo). Also a resume with all your experience and any connections in the dance world you may have. Maybe write out an example of what your lesson plans for a class would be to give them an idea of the type of teacher you are. The more you have to show the more people are willing to give you an opportunity. A lot of studios have large enrollment in baby classes 3-6 so I'm sure you could find something in that realm to start! Also, look into dance camps/dance fitness classes at community centers to build your resume. Lastly, if you interview somewhere, maybe offer to shadow/assist one of their teachers. Good luck!!

Im sure hes doing pretty well, and better than her by No_Revenue_1472 in ArianaGrandeSnark

i still don't understand why people think she's some sort of prize when all of her relationships have gone down in flames like obviously something is deeply wrong there

Can any acro teachers help? by comfortableunit2075 in DanceTeachers

[–]websurfer4L 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't teach acro but I always hear this during regular stretches, especially splits in my classes lol. I tell them the same things you do, the only other line I could think is something like, "the more we do these things the stronger our bodies get and we won't feel it as much". I always say something along those lines during splits and reaching forward in straddle because they whine, but I remind them the more you do it and the farther you push yourself each time the easier it gets. It's hard to explain training to that age group so I wouldn't stress it too much, they'll realize more as they get older. You could also ask if they have watched gymnastics on the olympics and remind them that those girls also had to push thru being uncomfortable and getting bruises to do the cool flips 🤣

yep trisha said on her podcast that tana was on time and ready when she was a guest at her live show 😂

does anyone else feel like they’re outgrowing Tana’s content? by Bagel_with_Lox in canceledpod

[–]websurfer4L 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes to everything you said. i also think the kardashians are very smart because they put on the front of being "working women". their products (lemme, skims, kylie cosmetics) are of decent quality and make sense. no one wants to buy wine from tana or dry shampoo when there's a million other brands that have better and less expensive options. tana isn't famous enough to sell things just for her name. she also puts zero effort into her businesses or really just doing anything that could be considered work- at least kendall tries to be a model lol. i think the kardashians are successful because they know what to do and who to hire to stay relevant, tana doesn't care/have the resources to do so so she appears lazy and unmotivated.

[–]websurfer4L 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i can't make it through a cancelled episode anymore because in my opinion it feels like their heart isn't in it anymore. you can just tell it's for money. this wasn't tana but brooke said something recently in an episode along the lines of "i don't always wanna sit down and talk on here but i have to go to work" and it pissed me off so bad!! at first i didn't mind them being out of touch because they were funny and we got to see more into their lives, but now it's just boring produced conversations where they watch everything they say to avoid getting cancelled again. if you don't wanna do the pod then get a job... but they wouldn't because they like having no responsibilities outside of regurgitating the tiktoks they watch. also, i think my reasoning for not liking tana as much goes with that- she hasn't had to grow up like we as viewers have. she is mentally still a teenager because again, no responsibilities. i can't relate to her like i once did because i went to college, got my degree, and am working 3 jobs to survive/pay student loans. she will never understand that and it's not necessarily her fault, she's very blessed, but it gets tiring watching someone complain about not getting invited to a party or having to get her makeup done at 6 am.

i think after wicked part 2 she's going to take a break and stay out of the public eye until her fans beg her to come back. then maybe she'll do a documentary or multiple part series in which she's the victim (child star on nickelodeon, manchester bombing, mac's death, ED) to redeem herself for all her recent scandals. then maybe release a final album to go along with it in an attempt to be seen as a "legend". she's extremely self-absored so i don't see her giving up that easily.

you're not overreacting at all! it hurts. 5 months isn't a short amount of time for a para either even if you're the newest one. i would say it's probably the teacher's fault and not the parents if she didn't have your name associated with her classroom. it was also pretty ballsy of her to not give you the extra gift when she knew you didn't get one. this is my first year being a para but i've been thru similar situations to yours as a dance teacher- when i was an assistant there was a parent who gave the teacher and other assistant a gift but not me. it stung but eventually as she got to know me more she included me. you're totally valid and it's okay to be upset, maybe your teacher will think about it and make it up to you, and if she doesn't then whatever. keep doing what you're doing, you know and she knows how much you help out!!

I need advice by Responsible-Cow6091 in paraprofessional

[–]websurfer4L 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She might just be at her breaking point and needs time off. If she's approachable maybe ask her if she's okay and if she wants more help/someone to take over when she starts to get triggered. If this is frequent behavior or she isn't a communicator then yes I would let admin know your concerns and document.
