Things that your dance instructor may not want to hear

[Dr Dance]

"Why don't you teach (this given dance figure) like (this specific other dance teacher)?"

 

[IndyLady]

"No, I do not plan to do <event X which costs a lot of money>."

 

[jump'n'jive]

"No, I do not plan to do <event X which costs a lot of money>."

That's the worst

 

[SwingingAlong]

That's the worst

Nope.
"Sorry I won't be dancing for a while as I've just been diagnosed with cancer." (I am dancing again now after 2 years!!)

 

[Dr Dance]

"I'M PREGNANT!"

 

[Joe]

"I'M PREGNANT!"

I'm hoping you didn't use that one yourself.

"I'm going skiing."

I'm so injury prone that when heard I was going on a tame hike with another student he put her in charge of making sure I didn't get hurt. When the topic of skiing came up once he just looked at me like I was a crazy person. I've actually decided that he's correct about the skiing: the injury risk isn't worth it for me. I spend a huge amount of time, effort, and sometimes money keeping various body parts in reasonably pain-free working condition.

I am forbidden to say “I am tired”, “this is too difficult”, or “ I will never get that”

Haha, yep, Same here! I went skiing for the first time two years ago and loved it, but now with Ballroom, it's just not worth the injury risk

“You other student is a {expletive}”.

 

[Mengu]

"I'm broke."

(take that any way you will.)

"Can we work on fleckerls today?"

 

[flying_backwards]

"Can we work on fleckerls today?"

My teacher loves Fleckerels!
In fact, my teacher seems to handle anything I say, even when once it was "That playlist you carefully arranged in order... uh... I hit shuffle accidentally and cannot re-sort it. Sorry!"

 

[open_mind]

“But my OTHER teacher before you x years ago told me....”

"Students at the other studios get to do <thing that you desperately want to do but am stymied by the damn arbitrary rules>, why can't I?"
