Dear Connie, I know this is not the type of question you would normally answer, but I would just like some advice from a fellow aspiring dancer. I live in a very small town that is not very cultured. The director of my studio could care less about the dancers, teaches handle any classes, and gives no personal attention to those who are very serious about dancing so this past spring I began to get very discouraged and although I was supposed to attend Kirov Academy to train this summer, I did not go. I figured, what's the point if I am going to come back to this? I am a very good dancer, but due to my lack of training, to become professional, I would have to work three times as hard to improve as other girls, so I just kind of gave up. Right now, I am regretting not going this summer, but more importantly, I am wondering whether this means that I still want to take this on as a career, or I just want to do it as a hobby. What are your thoughts on this?
