I don't think Nat is playing with anyone. The situation is embarrassing to say the least. Quite obviously Nat has tried to downplay the attention she was receiving from him by subtle hints which were quite obviously ignored. Not sure why some of you think she is playing anyone. It seems she doesn't have anyone to turn to and I would guess is very shy or it some sort of politics at the studio - i would guess the latter. It appears this is a very big learning curve for you Nat don't trust anyone and never let your guard down you obviously thought you had control of the situation but something backfired. Usually in this society not necessarily dancing the girl is always at fault and its never the mans fault everyone will assume the girl has done something or wants attention. If you stay at the studio you will notice doors will slam in your face but other doors will be open stick with those who leave the door open for you, keep the texts he sends you and make it clear to the studio you do not want to have ant association with him, chin up his wife will most definately support her husband regardless if he has cheated on her with others you already can expect this from her because he has made moves right under her nose he has got away with with it you are just a pawn he has most definatley singled you out because he suspected you were weak or you don't have a large circle of friends at the studio who will support you I would focus on building your profile at the studio it will be hard and he will evenually be found out. Remember what goes around comes around - karma works unexpectedly it won't be overnight it could be in 1 years time people will eventually see him for who he is.

This is exactly why some women don't report rape cases ( on a larger scale), all the nagitive comments and accusing her of strecthing the truth. Always HER fault, yet the man is always blameless. And we wonder why the men who rape women walk free.....

You should NOT leave the studio, if you can help it. NEVER, EVER, let a man stop you from going or doing what you love.
Stand up to him, in whatever way you think is best ( informing your instuctor, telling him to his face, your friends etc .
)
It's annoying how sometimes, if you simply simile at a the male-sex they interprate that as an invitation to your pants.

I agree with Tara, ignore the negative comments. He has no right to make you feel this way. Stand up for yourself and fight it. You deserve it!!!

i agree with the greek gentleman. i've been dancing and taking classes for years. i've seen all kinds of interactions. there are many reasons why this guy is pressuring you (yes, it's pressure) and you have only your choice to fall back on. i agree that accepting a dance with another gentleman is ok - it sends a subtle message but sometimes people are less than bright and don't get the message. i feel the final act of having the owner/manager of the studio intercede conveys firmly your position and his/her support of your position is so important. you have to be comfortable to dance and secure to express who you are when dancing without the intimidation. good luck.
