[@AkireMaru]

Her toxicity potential is close to a 9.5, if we are examining toxicity from the standard lens of society. However, one could argue great athletes need tough coaches and not nice ones who will tell them they did great if they didn’t. We’re so obsessed with everyone being nice and calling “meanness” toxic it’s hard to separate the two in a conversation where the standard world is merged into the elite one. Toxic to me is anything dysfunctional. It’s dysfunctional if a ballet teacher doesn’t have influence over the students or the capacity to push them harder. So, by societies definition, she could be toxic and probably is, but by coaching standards she is not toxic, she needs to be mean and tough in order to get the job done. The one girl taking too much of a glimpse of herself and the teacher noticing it was funny to me 😂

[@djlivvy46]

​@@aryannacisneros1670 - it's their job to point out everything you are doing wrong. Life is tough and work is tough too, and teachers have to prepare us for that especially in a highly competitive field such as ballet. I'm sure that this teacher does actually care about her pupils since they do seem happy, confident and supportive of each other. But we also know that there are teachers who really don't like their pupils, in which case you take their criticism and use it to make yourself stronger and better. Accept that they are never going to praise you no matter what, and comfort yourself with the fact that at some point you will be leaving them behind.

Ugh such a shame. I don't understand how teachers can just yell instead of properly correcting. One time I was attending an adult ballet class different from my usual school because my school was on break and the teacher kept screaming at this girl "PAS DE BOURREE" and spat on the floor but didn't tell what was wrong so obviously she's going to keep doing it wrong???

[@moomoominou]

@@libertychic8926​​ When good teachers do it, it’s not out of malice or anything weird. It’s the same way personal trainers can and will poke different muscles to correct or get you to think about which to tighten or use. Your glutes are just as important as any other muscle to tighten/control in ballet. It’s a quick poke to whichever muscle just to get us to mentally note which muscle is being corrected or making sure it’s being used properly. So I’m sorry but I prefer a light poke over being injured because I wasn’t using a muscle properly.

She believed I had much promise but all 3 of my younger sisters became seriously ill at the same time and we had little money for food and no money for ballet lessons (before insurance as part of a work package).
