I don't feel it's a pity, I think I got tired from it. I wasn't anymore the same teacher as I used to be: super enthousiast and really loving teaching. It became a thing where I was feeling bad every time I had a class and I was thinking: 'I wish I didn't have to teach today'.
The very enthousiast bit has already wearing off years ago and I was wondering why but now I know. It just wasn't as exiting anymore as when I just started teaching. That's what it does when it's a job and you got to earn money, promote, deal with difficult students, non-paying people etc.
On top of that I have an illness and I have to be really careful of how I spend my energy: one class meant 3 days rest. You don't earn enough that it would be still worth loosing so much time. So I decided it's time for priorities, my health is more important and performing is more fun to me then teaching. Also performing pays better and it's shorter then a class (15 minutes of dancing and an hour of teaching is a big difference to me).
I don't say I would never teach again, who knows, but not for now.
I wish you all the best!
