MS Bakersfield DanceShop is a Fond Memory

Well the 3 weeks are up, and we had such fun and made great progress in ensuring that
the folks will not get "kicked in the ass" at Fiesta- Now the group still has work to do on a few calls, but most importantly we built CONFIDENCE and gave the RECOVERY tools needed to suceed at a California MainStream hall(Fiesta in this case)-They're looking forward to it and some are looking to attend the State Convention as well-Now sadly -I can't believe how close the majority of these kids were to qutting- Complaints (about the class they started with) ranged from "The caller doesn't answer questions" to "How come 2 hours at DanceShop seems short, when after a half hour at class we want to leave" to my SAD favorite (I mentioned 1 particular class is dark this week-Not that the sponsors bothered to tell the folks who missed).......When I annouced they were dark, From the floor in a loud voice "who cares we don't learn a damn thing there"- The rest of the gang nodded in agreement- How in the hell do some of these clubs expect to retain new dancers??????????? Or are they on a whining death wish?- I suspect that the latter is closer to the truth
