You might have heard its the 15th, maybe even from Jessica or Maria, but the REAL DEADLINE is December 11.
If you don't withdraw by then you will be charged for next year.

Ward,
ReplyDeleteWho the hell do you think is going to withdraw after this weekend? Please have your lady snake friends withdraw. Show us your power.... Have them withdraw TODAY... That would be GREAT!!!! Tell your lady snakes to go..... Please!
Kory,
ReplyDeleteI would like to know,and I can ask without cussing,who your lady snakes are? Do you really think that only a few people are unhappy?Let me tell you who I am,Kory, since you hide behind a fake name.I am a good parent.I am the parent who organized the cast party and fed your child and probably you,too.I am the wife of the man who took four days off from work to try and sell ads for the program because businesses did not want to support us this year and other parents didn't want to help him.I am the parent who was TOLD to buy flowers for her daughter to receive onstage only to have those flowers thrown in her dressing room and a small bunch turned and handed to her. I didn't have the courtesy of giving them to her in the lobby because both directors lied to me. Lied to me,Kory. If they hadn't lied, I wouldn't be so upset. Also, My daughter is little.She didn't need to be dropped off at the River Center unnattended all week, and if that was the case, Jessica had promised to have emergency numbers in the little girls dressing rooms.That was her job. Did she do it?No.Did she tell me ahead that she convinced Maria we could be there and then Maria said no? Yes. So she should have done her job so parents felt more comfortable, AND that was NOT the River Center's policy.See, the security TOLD us that was the ballet's wishes. I am fine with discipline, Kory.I WANT this to be a "real ballet". TCB's instructors are fabulous. The interim directors are unprofessional and self-serving. Perhaps your daughter is older and hasn't felt the effects.I have been called out twice by Jessica when I haven't walked by her smiling and fawning for having an "attitude". She seems to need a lot of positive reinforcement. That is her problem, not mine. This isn't a sorority or bff club.I pay for my daughter to be taught ballet because she loves to dance. I expect her to be treated equally and promoted for her skill, not for who her friends are or what "side" I'm on.See,dear Kory, I have not once commented on nor been part of this blog,as I have looked back to see that you have. I chose peace for the children's sake. You chose to fuel the fire by commenting constantly. Don't you think if you hadn't kept commenting, it would have appeared that the blog wasn't effecting the ballet as much?The fight continued. You should watch who you are calling a snake. It seems to me you've been slithering about yourself. If the ballet is to succeed,it will do so without your help. This little cliquey thing that's suddenly going on since the new directors arrived will do nothing but destroy it. Jessica's management skills are not developed enough (I'm proud of her for having her own studio elsewhere- she is beautiful - and she's a good teacher - but smiling pretty won't get her out of the gigantic managerial mistakes she has made and turning mean & ugly on the drop of a dime when someone has a question or challenges her does not make her powerful). Maria is a good teacher as well, but her decision-making thus far has been erratic. We were VERY hurt by what they did to alot of the girls, but all we know is they took a small,special moment for our child that they told us to prepare for and they pooped all over it.I have not received an apology or an offer to pay for the $106 flowers they threw in a pile in her room. I let them know how I felt and Jessica LAUGHED in my face.I got a neck roll as well. That's profession, Kory. Be brave, with your cussing and big words, and say who YOU are. We all have a story. There's right in wrong in all of them. To share them is freedom of speech. To name call is childish.Congratulations,Kory. You complain to Ward for his name-calling, but a spade''s a spade. Welcome to the snake pit.
Bravo Clara's mom!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Clarasmom!!!!! You have managed to put into words what many of us are feeling even though our stories may be different. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteAs for Kory,
If you think that this weekend fixed any of the problems you are mistaken. Did the dancers do a good job? Yes they did, but I would expect no less from them. Was the ballet in its entirety a success? I would say no. The reason people want to leave can not be fixed by how successful or unsuccessful the dancers are. The behavior of the directors and some of their help are where the problems sit. You can not expect to keep people in a program when you step all over them and lie to them. At some point people will say, "enough" and leave.
Those of us that leave will find better places for our dancers and I know that we will be happier. For those of you that choose to dance for CSU Dance Conservatory I wish you the best.
