I think this whole experience should have come with a crystal ball in which I could have seen where to go and what to do, in the studio and the class. There was no one at the front desk when I came in, afterwards there were 2 women who never looked at me (okay not never, see ps), one was staring at her phone and the other one was stretching on the floor of the lobby. That was strange, but the worst thing was the class itself.
I did classic barre and had I not been doing some ballet in my life I wouldn’t have had a clue. Frankly, like most people in the class didn’t have a clue and the teacher surely never told them. She barely even explained the exercise and there’s just no use in doing all of what we did when you’re not actually doing it because you don’t know how to and no one corrects you. She even kept saying ’great’ when even I could see nothing was great and miscounted a lot so sometimes we did a lot on one side and then not half of it on the other.
I get that when you’re a dancer and you have to teach people that don’t have a clue about dancing that can be frustrating, but this wasn’t a class and I don’t think I’ll try a class here again.
Ps. According to the reaction down here: no, I was not greeted, no one was there. When I came down after class and the girl was on the floor stretching I needed to put something in my bag and when she stared at me (actually then she did at least look at me for a few seconds) I told her I needed to get organized and then left.
