Guys I’m so sorry, but I’m not canceling the classes I’m putting them on a pause for a while,
It has been to say the least a hellish year ,
and I need to move home or take a break from this for a while not forever,
maybe do a contract abroad get my confidence back that’s been knocked down by some horrendous people I get that and I’ve done this job since 2010 and never once have I been spoken to the way some of the past parents have spoke to me, and it has gotten to me and my mental health has this year been a battle!
For so many years I taught these children then I have been threatened , called names, and whilst I can hold my own ,
I have to put my mental health first and I’m not ashamed anymore to say it, this past year has been hell!
I am sorry for the times I’ve been late or last minute cancellations but you’ve know idea some days I could be sitting outside the venue having a panic attack and I just cancel, I’m better than this so I need to go back rejuvenate and come back bigger and better than ever, I do realize I will lose students in this process and that’s ok, keep dancing keep shining.
But yes for now the school will be closing it breaks my heart as I feel like I’m failing not only me but louise, also mentally I can’t take the way some of the parents talk to me like I’m a piece of s**t, I’m only one human and I just need a break from it all!
I wear my heart on my sleeve and I have always been honest and I’m like marmite you either like me or you don’t I’m ok with that ,
I know I’m a talented artist and teacher and I love the kids as much as they love me.
This took me a lot of courage to be honest and send this, im putting myself in a very vulnerable position, but I know I can do better and I am capable of better,
Like I said the school will close not forever and I thank each and everyone of you for you’re support,
Im heartbroken to do this but it’s only for now and mark my words I will be back! And I will be holding the reigns not allowing people to walk all over me.
I have to put me first and my passion for teaching hasn’t gone, I just need a break from it, I need to go dance abroad and live my best life, I didn’t kick cancers arse in 2017 to be feeling this way a bag of nerves to face certain people.
I love you all and I will be back.
