Ageism

I take a jazz technique class from an instructor that has been teaching for over 40 years. Her and I have worked on dance choreography together before, but this is only the second time she's seen me in class. She complimented me on my posture and such and said "I wish I could have gotten ahold of you ten years ago you would have been fabulous."

AT the time I didn't really think of it, but now it kinda pisses me off, just because I'm "old" for a dancer (at 22), doesn't mean I can't be a fabulous dancer.

Now I know how those old people feel who get discriminated against just cuz their old...

BLAH!

 

that sucks, but if it pisses you off just wait long enough and you'll get a chance to dance on that teachers grave....muahaha

 

Software engineers can rarely find work after 30

 

then you'll get your vengance

{also, firemen tend to have trouble finding work after 50}

 

Maybe if someone got hold of your teacher 30 years ago she would have been 'fabulous' and not just fucking teaching

Ugly people say ugly things. Your cute, only 22 and in your prime... your fabulous

 

LOL she's very talented...but you're right, I'm cute and ONLY 22...

HAHAHAHAHA

 

No, see she was saying that if you were younger, you would have had more time to develop into a better dancer..
someones a little self conscious about their age

 

fucking 22 year olds complaining about age shit.





Shit dude

 

Yeah but WTF is a shitty comment like that going to achieve? DancerAnnie is only 22 and obviously enjoys dancing. How would her teacher like it if DancerAnnie replied, "watch where your walking.. you almost stepped on your fucking tits" Get me?

 

No, cause thats in no way a compliment. she was just complimenting her on her dancing ability, and saying she could have been an even better dancer had she taken lessons from her earlier. generally people start dancing younger.

 

Oh, honey, I've been dancing for 20 years...teaching for 10. I'm most certainly NOT a beginner!

 

in that case, she was just complimenting herself by saying only she could have made you a better dancer

 

Edit, I'm going to bed now

 

So you are no longer a Dancer, Annie.

 

Sure I am...but I teach more than I take class now.

Used to dance six hours a day, six days a week, but had to "retire" at seventeen because of some debilitating injuries. I still work five days a week, but do both teaching and paperwork. It's much less stress on my joints.

 

If I would ask very nicely, would you dance for me naked?

 

Hmmm, it's tempting. What would I get out of this arrangement?

 

To do what you like to do best: dance!

 

Yeah but what can YOU do for ME?

 

I can tell you a lot of great travel-stories!
