Between your spelling and your lack of punctuation, it was very hard to understand what you are saying. Translated into English, what I gather from your post is that your performance group instructor had you do a new routine in front of her beginners class with no warning. She wasn't happy with it, buried her face in her hands, and yelled at you in front of the class.

If that's what happened, I'd say let it go. She's probably learned her lesson that it wasn't a great idea. She was probably embarrassed about it. If she doesn't mention it again and doesn't try it again, it won't be a problem. If she does bring it up in your performance class, then I think you can say something to the effect that it wasn't really fair to expect you to perform a new routine with no notice. Or if you have such bad feelings about it that it's interfering with your ability to learn from her, then speak to her privately.

seems like the teacher is much better at communicating than you are (all she had to do was bury her face in her hands and immediately let you know what she felt), so I assume that since you have so much trouble speaking english that she can't communicate with you in any other way (or you are a teen with little comprehension of how your actions define you).

Your laziness for punctuation probably extends to your dancing (which is communication as well).

By the way, the u u u u u was a sarcasm, relating to your selfcenteredness in your first post.

My suggestion - don't allow yourself to become a cliche - learn to act or speak more maturely.

I think before we start berating the poster, we should have a little more info. on her background .

It would seem apparent ( to me ) she is but a child. That,s not an exscuse, but an observation. We are un aware, from her post, of what her circumstances are.
She turned here for help- and was reprimanded for her grammar .; there are many adults on these sites, that have equally as many grammatically posted errors in their comments.

We are here ( I hope ) to assist, not denigrate !

Sorry if this is turning out to be more a commentary on someone's grammar, spelling and punctuation than on dance, but whether this person is 13 or 16, she should be told that her post is not an acceptable way to communicate in an adult world, especially when she admits herself to being too lazy to bother! And the other people's poor grammar is no excuse, by the way!

It's very sad indeed...

Don't mind my asking..but, why are people so tense in these forums? Aren't we all here to talk about DANCING..? I've read three posts now where it's all about the grammer and people are getting upset over puncuation marks. Some people aren't going to school to spell, they're going to dance. So can we please relax and talk about dancing! I was not aware this site was only for 18 years and older. It's for anyone, can we please just talk about what we came here for?!?

I'll wager you have never had an instructor fall to there knees, clasp their hands and bow their head and say aloud . Please Lord send me down some dancers. Mind you he had a terrific sense of humour. As well as the pair who a few minutes later burst through the door and said. Here we are.
