We had an 'incident' in class night where another student brought in their 'boyfriend'. I was gobsmacked! We don't have any written rules and our class is small, but in my mind I can't see how anyone would think this is a GOOD idea. I mean, I don't bring my Husband to class! LOL
Seriously though, the guy seemed nice enough and slightly uncomfortable at first...he actually said he was was suppose to be on a 'date'. We were practicing our choreography for a hafla and he took it upon himself to give us feedback, which isn't unhelpful, but it's just all very weird to me!!!!
I expressed my feelings to my teacher of course and to another student that I drive to class, but it doesn't feel like people are as bothered about it as I was/am. I had had a pretty crappy day and wasn't feeling very well anyway, and I'm ok around my bellydance friends when I'm like that, I feel comfortable being me and can be weepy or grumpy or whatever, but this guy was a complete stranger and I couldn't bring myself to smile or enjoy dancing much, although everyone else seemed ok.
What I'd like to know from others is this ok? I've read a few bellydance class sites where it's a rule that you can't bring visitors into class once it's started. For comparison, I also accidentally discovered on the google search that at some pole dancing classes that popped up in my bellydance-themed search that it was fine and dandy (and encouraged) to bring visitors to those!
Teacher said she's have a word with the girl, but I'm still irritated. What was she thinking?!!!
