Hannah, it's true that different schools and companies are all different, but sadly the competition that exists in any kind of performing art is normal. It probably varies in degrees from place to place, but I think there is always going to be a least a little of that competitive attitude in any company.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610813789484170147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413116565431353837.post-26371536539875852262012-01-04T10:17:17.624-08:002012-01-04T10:17:17.624-08:00Oh, this breaks my heart.

Have you thought about trying out a new school/company? Are there any other options for this semester? I read somewhere that the atmosphere at different ballet schools and companies varies so much that if you aren't happy at one you should try another and another until you find the one right for you. I don't think all ballet schools are this fiercely competitive (but then again, I'm just rambling and probably not telling you anything you don't know. :) Keep your chin up!

Sadly sometimes things like this can become a little too competitive! :/<br />I still hoped you enjoyed performing though, can't wait for your next post! xoxLover of Dance xox'https://www.blogger.com/profile/18021416148201571175noreply@blogger.com
