Just trying to do the right thing. Anyone know what that is? Cause I sure as hell don't. I'm trying. But every decision is met with 1000 questions. Biggest one being: Is this the right decision? And my answer is always: I. DON'T. KNOW. Go away Covid. I want my studio back.

The fact that my students can remember 100 Tik Tok dances but not the choreography for their competition numbers. 😡 #dancetchrprobs

You’re texting me over holiday break to discuss a rumor you heard? 1. I don’t care. 2. Who gave you my cell number? They’re fired. #dancemomsarecrazy #studioownerproblems

Next time one of my clients is annoying me with their unnecessary bullshit, I’m gunna whip out a photo of me from three years ago and just be like “DO YOU SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY UNDER EYES BAGS SINCE I BOUGHT THIS STUDIO?! PLEASE REFRAIN FROM YOUR BULLSHIT” âœ‹đŸŒ

If there’s one thing I’ve learned this year it’s you can’t make lazy people try and you can’t make any one care who doesn’t. They either do or they don’t it’s really that simple and nothing personal.

It is not my problem you can’t “afford” the classes your daughter chose to be in this season. Don’t make me feel guilty either. My time is not free. Neither was my college tuition.

Replying to @Brumbaw5
I just don’t think that a child who wants to be a competitive dancer should be missing class to do other recreational sports. If they want to do 5 sports then they should be in the recreational level. Competition takes a whole other level of dedication. It’s not just “for fun”.

Listen I have an open door policy. Any child can come take any one of my classes no questions asked. But I will NEVER beg you to come to my studio. If you want better training feel free to drop by, if not then don’t. Hunny it doesn’t bother me either way.

Dance Mom: Can you change part of the dance? My daughter says it’s too hard and she doesn’t like it. Isn’t there some alternative choreography you could use? Me:

I think sometimes our students/clients forget that I actually have real feelings and emotions and am genuinely effected by the negative things they sometimes say in a moment of passion. Words hurt and they carry weight and meaning. Remember that before you use them as weapons.

Things I have done for your kid over the years: Given her rides to rehearsal Braided her hair for Comps Attended her birthday parties Given her a beautiful solo Praised her Wiped tears from her cheeks Cheered at the top of my lungs for her You: “You don’t care about my kid”

One of my biggest annoyances in dance studio ownership besides book keeping is costume returns like I would legit hire someone to do this and it’d be worth every $$$...

The thing about competition dancing is that winning or losing won’t define you in the long run. As a dancer who is becoming an artist, your authenticity and your resilience, will. – at Santa Fe, NM
plot twist: you show up to dance fully dressed with your hair up and ready to pay attention

2019 is the year we’re gonna stretch every day, cross-train like hell, go harder in class, get that role, get that trophy, crush that audition, get accepted into that school, take care of our bodies, love ourselves and become the best dancers we can. ❀ #HappyNewYears
