NAT,
Am I understanding correctly that the studio is now asking you to leave? That's just wrong.

However, I do agree with the sentiment that you should have put a stop to his behaviour much quicker. I do not agree with anyone who advocates violence, but you should have told this person in no uncertain terms that his advances were not wanted and would not be tolerated.

Also, you should initiate action with the studio anytime someone's behavior is making you uncomfortable. Initially, you should simply inform your instructor that the person is making unwanted advances, and ask him/her to document it in your book. If the creep continues, then you should accelerate the action to the studio management, pointing out that this is not the first time. Document your complaint again. If the studio will not support you at this point, then you really should complain to the owner.

Under the circumstances, if they are not going to support you, you should get a full refund of any paid lessons. The studio should not be allowed to apply any contractual accelerations because you got a discount. If they try, a letter from an attorney should quash that attitude, post haste.

If you do manage to stay at this studio, and this idiot won't leave you alone, do not be afraid to raise a major stink. Get loud. Get angry. If it continues further, get legal assistance, because you are in the right.

i agree, you should start reporting these instances of harrassment to the police. even if it's not enough for them to do anything right away, either it'll force this guy to back off, or when it comes time for more legal action you'll have a history of complaints with the police to strengthen your case. don't be afraid to pursue it legally.

I doubt this posting is real. Nat is supposed to have been with the studio for 3 years and the guy has been there for just 6 months. He 'dances with all my group of friends this has started to make them feel uncomfortable'. It sounded too weird for a woman not be able to handle this despite she has friends at the studio and they had bad experiences too. And the guy made a complain and the woman got kicked out. It sounds like a made up story to me.

I now agree with Dan. This might very well have been a fake posting all along. Too hard to believe all the nuances of the story, especially the poster's last "angry comeback" post.

what a skeezeball! how does he do that in front of his wife? there's nothing wrong with a little flirting but he's crossing the line.

If his wife is observing this behavior, she's either too timid to object or she's turned on by it.

You should not leave your studio.

I'd advise yelling something like "Get away from me, you pervert!" Perhaps a public embarrassment would back him off.

Nat. Your first post was July/2007. Sami answered you on sept/13/2007. You answered Sami 6 months later on March/16/2008. It is incredible that you let this situation continue for eight months?

I am a bit puzzle O.K if what you say istrue the guy is weir,but Sorry it does not make sense(to me that is).
What was your reaction after he kissed you,still dancing with him?"WHY?
No matter how good dancer he is ,you dont like him but what is going on?
1)He walks you to you car
2)tells you he is been divorce before
3)he kiss you.
"HEY" IF I DONT LIKE A MAN I DO NOT ALLOWED HIM TO DO THAT OR WASTE MY TIME LESSENING TO HIS LIFE HISTORY.
You are leading this man to whatever he is doing my opinion you are enjoy every bit of it.
Please stop taking the people here for a ride.
NO ,NO NO, IS GOT THE SAME MEANING IN ANY LANGUAGE
perhaps this is something you have not learn to say

Nat. There are lots of chatrooms,pick another one to play with. >

I say that you tell him that he is married and that he needs to back off. good luck. you shouldn't have to stop doing something you love just because there is someone giving you a hard time Best Wishes Jake
