Hi all! I have a question for you that seems a bit vague, but bear with me!
How do you feel towards studio loyalty? What type of loyalty do you (as a teacher) expect from a student, and what do you expect (as a student) from a teacher?
After a mishap with stolen choreography, our studio set up a contract that included some very good things like "as a studio we will promise to see each dancer as unique and will encourage her and assist her to grow in her own dancing abilities" as well as that as dancers we will not perform/teach studio choreography to other studios/people without permission from the studio teachers. It also states that as a dancer of "X" studio, we won't have loyalties to any other studio within "Y"kms of our studio. Which I feel is quite fair? It doesn't mean that we're not ALLOWED to go to other studios where they teach things which we don't, just that we recognise "X" studio as our home base. (We sound like aliens - hehehe! :lol
I think that teachers have the responsibility to their students to acknowledge where they fall short (for example, not everybody can teach zills or other "specialties") and allow them to go to other studios to learn those skills. Personally, I am very happy with the way that our studio works. We ALL do workshops (including the 2 teachers) and learn together while still being taught all the years of knowledge and the different styles from the different teachers.
