I have had a few teachers over the years, but the one I have now I have no problem with, and the shoe issue, it was suggested when I started I might prefere to wear some kind of footwear,but not having anything suitable and not having previously danced in footwear, I elected to carry on as normal and that also because I was not aware of the reason for the suggestion to wear foot protection, I now know and have advised my classmates where they can purchase suitable wear in my town very cheaply. Myself I had to go online to purchase and managed to pick up a pair of new old stock men's Bloch prolite mark one ballet boots for less than six quid delivered and only hope they are delivered soon, hopefully in time for my next class, but that is the problem with ordering online and my only option given the urgency.
But a lot of my problem is the failure to understand spoken communication, I need explicit instruction and where possible reasons why, otherwise I may nod my head indicating I understand, but often it is I don't, but that is an automatic long learned habit from way back in my school days and beyond to avoid ridicule for not understanding, you see aspies weren't recognised then and those that didn't understand what the majority understood were singled out for a special dose of ridicule and everything that came with it.
But stuff from the past, a lot of stuff experienced, I suffer with a strong sense of not being wanted and am only permitted to be somewhere on licence, why the hell I am pursuing belly dance in the UK with what attitudes exist here I don't know, but perhaps it is I set myself up for failure, because I am used to it and everything I don't fail in is a plus and so a positive experience and there better learning. But be damned I do not fit into what my own gender does, that is for sure, I cannot even communicate with many down the pub, we have so different interests and motivations.
But you may ask yourself why someone may rattle on so much on an open forum, perhaps commit online suicide well for one I know my astrology, for I am a scorpio or in other symbology, a phoenix or serpent, the key being, I self destruct on a regular basis and each time, I learn something new.
