I just want all of you to know the value of your comments. I feel like this site has really made a difference for me and has helped me through some hard times as I've worked through issues pertaining to learning and instructors and franchise studios.

I was at a franchise for more than 2 years and my treatment there was making me miserable. I posted questions and asked for suggestions and it took me a little while to build up the courage but I left...and on your advice....especially anymouse....and seredipidy, I found a great situation.

I now have a teacher who dances because he loves it. He is actually teaching me technique and even after only three lessons I now understand how much I don't know. In my old studio...not naming franchises...I was mistaken for a pro even by visiting instructors. In this studio there is no mistake...I'm really honsestly the worst person dancing and it gives me great hope because it means if I work and push maybe I'll start looking the way I want to look, which was never going to happen where I was.

So a heartfelt thank you for the advice and for the person who put this site together. Your help has really made a difference in my life.
