Pineapple Dance Studios Reviews

This is some text inside of a div block.

I did my second class today and I was really disappointed. I train at a different adult ballet studio (intermediate class) usually but due to scheduling conflict I went to pineapple studio so I wouldn’t miss a week of practice. Last week was fine, it was a bit challenging but in a fun way so I was looking forward to todays class. The class was advertised for general - with the only warning that you should be somewhat familiar with ballet term which I am. I was told when I entered the class that a lot of students today came from another studio where the teacher also teach. During the class the teacher didn’t bother explaining any of the routine, created difficult exercise that suited 1/2 of the class (advanced) but left the other half struggling. Teacher only corrected advanced student (especially their own from the other studio) and didn’t seem to engage with anyone else. I left the class crying, feeling really bad about myself and wishing I had never went. A general ballet class should be at a level comfortable for everyone, and if advanced student want more challenge they can easily tweak the exercises to themselves. It is not for the ‘less good’ student to magically become better to match the level of the advanced student Super disappointed since the studio was highly recommended to me… If the teacher wants to teach advanced classic you should advertise the class as such. Edit for explanation: the lack of explanation wasn’t just that the teacher didn’t demonstrate, I am able to pick up information orally. It was more like a half hand miming with ‘tatatata’ as vocal explanation. Which I’m sure a student that works with her weekly might understand what it means. But someone that just joined the studio can’t.
