She's not out-and-out defrauding anyone, she's just charging unreasonable prices, for things she shouldn't be charging for at all. I'm not sure that such complaints will do anything.
The only thing that will get through to this woman is if everyone refuses to pay her fees. Why not organize a friendly student dance night where you can perform for each other? You don't have to invite Satanteacher if you don't want to.
i agree.
it is a shame though. i bet she is using the money to buy extra beautiful costumes for her and her daughters.
honestly if she werent an exceptional teacher, which it sounds like she isnt, i would take my business elsewhere.
my teacher and studio is very generous. we get to borrow costumes and we are even having a sewing class. we have to pay 7 bucks for an hour or 12 for an hour and half. surely that isnt HALF the cost of renting all the sewing machines or the trouble of finding people to donate their machine for a night.
plus my teacher hasnt snapped at anyone. she will correct us and try to help us constructively and never rudely.
i'm going to go out on a limb and say that she's a bad one.
what a shame that you got a bad one, kutenurse.
someone mentioned offering their student free studio time, WOW, that would be so nice. i would be there every free hour.
