THiS DANCE TEACHER HATES ME AND IDK WHY!!!!?

Question

well my dance teacher hates me.

for ex:

1) during the recital she:

a- didn't list me and my friends name in a dance we were featured in as thing one and thing two.

b-had the solos bow one recital night (not my night) and didn't have the solos bow my night.

c- during the thing one thing two dance, at the end for the rehearsal AND the recital the spotlight was only on my friend (thing two) and NONE on me at all.

It's like she is trying to not have me recognized!!

also....

we had pro action shots taken during the recital and rehearsal and i looked at one dance and i am in like NONE of the pics. maybe 2 out of 120. and there is only 7 people in the class!

and....

for all of the dances she taught me she put me in the back of the dances. i have no idea why she hates me soo much!! like i REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to sound bratty, but i am the best one at that studio. and why would she put me in the back if i am good?

Answer 1

I dont think that she hates you... some teachers teach in a way that is ment to encourage other dancers to do better. If you really are the best dancer than she has probably already recognized that and wants to encourage others that are not quite as good as you to do better. If there is not really much room for improvement in you than she may just want to focus on the other dancers. You not being in a lot of the pictures is a bit suspicious though... Maybe she is jealous of you because she was scarred emotionaly as a kid by a girl in her class that was the best in the class. There is all kinds of explanations but I dont think that it is anything personal...

Answer 2

Hey I have no idea about the history and all, but this happened to me too. If you're the best in the class, maybe your teacher feels as though you don't need as much help to achieve and tries to focus on the other students. I know this isn't fair. She might think that you have the ability to succeed without as much of her help, so as hard as it is, you have to try and rise to the challenge. If she puts you in the back. Heck - try your hardest and don't make the mistake I did. Don't give up. Even if you're not dancing for her, at least dance for yourself.

Answer 3

Well...

She may not hate you. Sometimes things like that just happen. Either that or she does hate you. I don't know why though; I don't know your history with her.

Either way, you're switching studios so I wouldn't worry about it...

Good luck!

Answer 4

I kind of have the same situation going on right now actually... it might just be the way that you feel- maybe she really doesnt realize what she is doing to you... i dont think that she hates you, but she is definetely being unfair. It is good that you are going to a different studio next year (im switching studios too) that's really all you can do...

Answer 5

some people are like that and they dont hate you personally, maybe you remind her of her when she was young and she had bad memories...I dont know.....but dance teachers sometimes have problems
