I’ve been attending this dance studio for many years and it has pushed me to be my best and helped me move up in my dance world, it hadalways been a place I genuinely loved, which is why this experience was so upsetting and disappointing. One staff member, who has been at the studio for a long time and appears to have a very close personal connection to the ownership, was consistently rude towards me. During one interaction, they physically pushed past me without apologising. This left me feeling uncomfortable and unsettled, especially as another staff member checked on me afterwards, which made it clear the situation had been noticeable. I didn’t feel able to raise this concern at the time, as it felt likely that my feelings would be minimised or that I would be made to feel as though I was overreacting, rather than being taken seriously. That lack of confidence in speaking up made the situation even more difficult. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I won’t be returning to the studio. While it wasn’t traumatic, it was unsettling enough to change how safe and welcome I felt in a place that used to mean a lot to me. I hope this feedback is considered seriously so others don’t feel the same way.
