25.01.2022 Facebook think the photo is inappropriate to be advertised in the post ! It may get taken down THAT SAYS A LOT ! Dance parents - THE GLOBAL HYPER SEXUALISATION OF YOUNG DANCE STUDENTS HAS TO STOP.... The teacher has ordered the costumes for the competition team. When you see the costume you get a bad feeling in the pit of your stomach. You know it's not what you want to see your child wearing out there onstage in front of a mixed audience What will your family say? But you think that because you've seen other dance groups wearing similar costumes that it must be what they have to wear So you try to justify the age inappropriate costume to yourself, and your family You know deep down that it's going to be embarrassing for your child's family members when they come to watch. Anyway you'd be wasting your time voicing your opinion you'd only get shot down in flames by the teacher You're too scared to speak up and just go along with it Or are you ok to have your young child out there onstage in front of a mixed audience in such an age inappropriate costume? If your answer is 'yes' then we have an even bigger problem than we thought. " The global sexualisation of young dance students Research supports that sexualised dance routines for pre-pubescent girls are age-inappropriate and potentially harmful and should therefore not be included in children’s dance performances."

18.01.2022 PRE ORDER the much anticipated, controversial book prior to worldwide launch https://www.dancesuccess.org/ She was 7 years of age at the time of her injury at... a recreational jazz dance class. Her teacher was assisting her by placing pressure and repositioning her legs to achieve a further split (forced flexion) when she felt a lot of pain in her hip. When she left the class she was visibly in pain and upset. Two days post seeing a doctor for limping and pain in her hip, her condition worsened, she developed weakness in the legs until she was unable to walk. She did not walk again for three and a half weeks. She was hospitalised and diagnosed with Functional Neurological Dysfunction. Her symptoms included: tics, tremors, paralysis, severe limb weakness, severe fatigue and pain. The physical and psychological impact of this technique on this young child was traumatic and she required intensive physiotherapy and psychology sessions to assist in her recovery. Studies have identified that people with Functional Neurological Dysfunction have a higher level of childhood stressors such as emotional neglect, sexual abuse and physical abuse compared to controls (Ludwig et al., 2018)." This is a horrifying, true story and is not an isolated incident. This sort of injury should never happen to dance students. Dangerous forms of stretching must be stopped. For the sake of the children I will do all I can to increase the awareness of parents and hope and pray that the teachers who share my concerns will join with me to spread the word and stamp out the global epidemics of dangerous teaching practices, sexualisation of dance students and unqualified teachers. I will stand up for what's right, even if I stand alone. https://www.dancesuccess.org/ Here is an extract from my book 'LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP" for those who have sought to defend themselves - some who would obviously like to keep these serious issues swept under the carpet, and others who wasted their time sending vicious personal messages to me. "We take our hats off to the dedicated, hard working, expert dance professionals whom we wish parents can find in the midst of the social media spin" "Educators, dance/science experts and medical professionals share my concern regarding how unethically young dancers are being trained in SOME studios, though we believe the majority of teachers are well-intentioned." "This book is not about the highly esteemed establishments, which are often attached to ballet or dance companies (or the schools that feed into them). It's not about any particular type of studio or training. It is about the worldwide global issues in the dance industry that are affecting children who learn dancing."

14.01.2022 VAGANOVA BALLET ACADEMY. WHAT IS THE REASON FOR SUCH GREATNESS? The Vaganova Academy of St. Petersburg is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious ballet school...s in the world; the school that surely more than all the others, has produced an innumerable quantity of ballet stars that have galvanized audiences all over the world, spreading and making loved the art of classical ballet even to the least involved. Many people in different interviews often ask me : But what is so great about? What is the secret of success? Why don't most other schools have such a reputation? The most skeptical and envious are used to attributing all this only to the great tradition and history but the facts still speak today. In fact, dancers of the caliber of the Mariinsky Theater or Bolshoi educated in this school do not meet in the world with the same frequency, despite being artists of great qualities. The mistake that in my opinion is made in most ballet Academies or in other simple schools, is that of not following first of all, a precise and unique methodology in the school. In fact, teachers often teach in different ways, as they think most appropriate without sticking to a specific program. The important thing is just to "do it " without a strictly pre-established dogma. Another common mistake is to change the teacher every year without giving the possibility to follow a precise line of teaching to the teacher himself and confusing the students who find themselves lost in front of a different style and conceptions every year. All the more so if each teacher follows his own "methodology". With all this I certainly do not want to say that experimenting with new techniques or ways to perfect movements is wrong, indeed, it is welcome! Provided, however, that everything is aimed at achieving the program to follow. Our Academy follows the methodology of A. Vaganova who, as demonstrated over the years, proves to be the most complete and effective. So, dear teachers, try to take note of it once and for all and try to finalize your "experiments" to the main program. Only in this way will you obtain a satisfactory result !!! Good job to everyone!

13.01.2022 WHAT IS REALLY THE BORDER BETWEEN SEVERITY AND OFFENSE BY THE BALLET TEACHER ? In recent times, tremendous cases of rudeness, outrage and even lethal cases by t...hugs students towards teachers have been increasingly found. These horrible situations make us increasingly regret the times of demanding and severe teachers whom we were so afraid of and from whom we were lucky enough to be educated. The exaggerated democracy and the too many rights and few obligations of the pupils that are often imposed by today's society have certainly been deleterious for school education. But What is really the border between severity and offense? If we consider the ballet education, we are often faced with very demanding teachers who, for their severity, are often judged unjustly ruthlessly violating student rights. But often we also find teachers no professionals who, by offending and humiliating the unfortunate students, try to vent their hatred and frustrations. It is precisely at this point that the professionalism of the teacher must be examined. If in fact the teaching method gives its results, it surely means that the teacher is a good professional and therefore "the end justifies the means". With my personal experience, I am of the opinion that the student is always very sensitive to the situation and perfectly understands if the teacher is ruthless because he loves the student and wants to achieve the result or is only subject to constant humiliation by an incompetent and frustrated person. The teacher has a duty to keep the situation absolutely in hand, being severe but also certainly the duty to understand the psychology and essence of each student individually. Each of us has its own personality to take into account. There are those who need a scolding (but then words of comfort especially if they work hard ) but there are those who assimilate only if the teacher proves meek. This too up to a certain point of course. The teacher's talent lies precisely in sifting through the situation and in understanding how one must behave with each one to obtain the result. Offenses and humiliations bring nothing but hatred on the part of the students towards this profession, often with dramatic endings. The teacher's task is very difficult and critical. We try to do it in the best way, especially by loving our students and trying to start them up to the profession and their future life as their own children. It's our life mission!

09.01.2022 New Netflix Movie 'Cuties' Crosses a Line by Sexualizing 11-Year-Olds People are so outraged about the film, that someone started a Change.org petition to remove Cuties from Netflix entirely. The creator of the petition wrote,... "This movie/show is disgusting as it sexualizes an ELEVEN year old for the viewing pleasure of pedophiles and also negatively influences our children! There is no need for this kind of content in that age group, especially when sex trafficking and pedophilia are so rampant!" Almost 5,000 people have signed at the time of publication.
