Replies PaintPens Posted at 1:08 pm on Jan. 14, 2009 I waste my nights teaching too! get over it and enjoy it!!! Do what you love, learn to just focus on why you love it, if you quit now, you will end up looking back and wishing you would have stayed in... W o n d e r l a n d Posted at 3:48 am on Jan. 14, 2009 I quit... When my mum stopped teaching She was my teacher from when I started and I quit when I was 11. I wanted to keep going but I couldn't deal with the other teachers. I still dance, just not classical/jazz/tap The Persuader Posted at 2:28 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 Don't give up because of kids you have to teach... You could find a cheaper place (yes,it could be hard,so don't quit your current one until you have) to dance and not teach. You don't have to do something cause someone wants you to. You have to do what makes YOU happy. Talk to your parents about it. I hope they understand. Cyanotype Posted at 2:11 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 Don't give up. Music2Live Posted at 2:09 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 If you don't feel like dancing anymore, or your not that into it don't do it just because your mom wants you to. Do what YOU want to. You should tell your mom how you feel about it. Synthetic Posted at 2:08 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 I used to tap-dance which wasn't bad but it wasn't my thing :p  Do what you want, not what your parents want, you'll be happier with yourself.

If you don't like teaching or the people there, go to a different studio All 8 previous replies displayed.
