A dance year runs the same way a school year does. We start classes in September, and finish the season in June. Just as in school, the same teacher teaches that class all year long. Today, one of the teachers on staff at the studio quit on the spot. She had many other responsibilities other than just teaching a class, and she packed her stuff and left with everything today. Grow up. There are kids that are depending on you. How could you abandon them in the midst of the season? We have a competition and two recitals left in the season, and now these kids have no one. Bottom line, when you make a commitment to something, you need to follow through.
Worse yet, now that she is gone, the students told us that she had already said she was leaving. They also told us about times when she was bad mouthing the rest of the staff and bad mouthing students in front of other students. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Grow up. You think a 21 year old would have a higher maturity level than that, but apparently not. Shame on you!
I run the front desk at an office and we do a lot of groupon deals for massage. We sold over 1,000 so needless to say I've got people wanting to schedule massage faster than I can answer the phone. I'm telling you this because this past Monday, we had a therapist do the exact same thing as your teacher. She just quit on the spot when she had a full day of massages scheduled. Now I'm having to call and cancel all of these massages (that were booked over a month ago mind you) and get screamed at by people, until we find another therapist. Not the most pleasant part of my job, but hey at least we know better than to leave people hanging like that. Something to be said for that at least.
