It's over

As of this Sunday I am officially no longer a member of Owensboro Dance Theatre's company. This may be shocking to some people but to others who know how unhappy I have been lately this isn't a surprise at all. I guess things have been bad for a while but Thursday night was definitely the last straw. It hasn't been the easy for me to try dancing with my stress fracture. However my dance teachers wanted me to continue dancing and to perform in the show, so I did what they wanted like I always do. Well Thursday night I left class at 6:00 because I had to film for ENL but they were going to keep rehearsing the tap piece. Well I found out that when I left some of the girls and one of the teachers (she is very immature) tried to blame the piece not looking good because of me. Earlier the teacher had made the comment about how I was the only person who knew what they were doing. So the teacher and the girls decided to throw me under the bus and shove me in the back because they said I was "limping" and I know that I wasn't. So to make a long story short that was the final straw. I couldn't stand to be treated like that any longer. So on Sunday I went to the studio and had a long conversation with Joy Johnson. I tried to explain to her that I still loved to dance but this studio was no longer an enjoyable place to be. She didn't listen to anything that I said but that's ok because three girls have already quit this year. Maybe she will eventually figure out that there is a problem.
