I have found myself in a bit of a tricky situation and I'm hoping some more experienced dancers could give me some advice.
I started in a beginner class last September and was put into the intermediate group in march this year. I was so worried about not being good enough and letting down the class that i practiced heaps.
We all have an important performance at the end of the month which the whole group is doing but there is also a performance next week.
I have two problems, the first is my teacher put me in the front next to her and sent one of the more established dancers to the back row. There was some discussion about this as she was in the front row the week before. I spoke up for her saying she had come to extra rehearsal and was in the front last week. My teacher was quite harsh about this girl's technique in front of the rest of us and said that she never did put her in the front.
I felt really embarrassed as I am new to the class and feel my place should be behind the more experienced dancers.
The second part is that my teacher decided to chose only two girls to dance with her next week, myself and one other girl. The other girl can't do it.
I'm terrified as I have never performed before but want to do it as it would be great to get the nerves out before our important performance later on and don't wan't to let my teacher down. BUT I'm worried about stepping on the toes of the other girls who have been there much longer than me.
I really like this group and don't want to get on their bad side but I also don't want let my teacher down my not doing the dance.
Any advice would be much appreciated, I'm just not sure how I should handle this.
