Ballet~is~the~universal~language

So apparently my ballet teacher thinks I’m not ready for competition…?

I just want to try a competition like YAGP, to see how I do.

Also, I’ve been asking for private lessons for a year now and he still hasn’t scheduled anything or talked to me about it, yet he’s been giving other people and gymnasts who have never even danced at his studio privates every week….. :( i just want to dance! 

Is this normal?? What’s going on?!???

I am crying right now! 

He was saying something about how I couldn’t of a lot of the jumps in some of the variations I’ve learned, but that’s because he never even taught me them!!!!I am 13 taking classes with 17-year-olds and he never stops to explain anything! 

There’s this other girl who’s 16 and he’s explained many steps to her and now he’s taking her to YAGP next year…. I am younger and TERRIBLE so why won’t he CORRECT ME?! I’m not a prodigy! He can’t just show me a step on YouTube and expect me to do it perfectly. I need coaching! That’s why I go to class 16 hours a week!!!And I’m not getting taught!!!! And I am willing to pay any price to get some FREAKING PRIVATE LESSONS!!!! So why do random gymnasts get that privilege? 

I want to be a dancer! THAT’S ALL I LIVE FOR!!!! And I don’t think he believes in me. :’(
