Dear LBelle,
Sounds like the SO needs to retire. Wow, you would think being in the business for fifty years she would know how to handle a situation like this properly but instead it sounds like she is making it worse and probably will loose students because of it. LBelle, I wish you best wishes in opening your own dance studio. I know that you will be a excellent Studio Owner.

Love, Peace, and Pointe Those Toes,
