Dilemma....kind of

As some of you all know, my dance studio is closing soon and combining with the studio that owns it at a new location. My mom doesn't want me moving to the new location because of the problems we've been having this year. I don't really want to go either. We've been looking at other studios to figure out where I want to dance next year.

Well I've been making friends at the studio that owns us and it's making this whole process harder. I might want to continue dancing at the studio that owns us, but 1) my parents probably wouldn't pay for it and 2) my mom would probably be upset because of all the time/money we're spending looking for a new one. And it also depends on where my friends end up.

Sorry, I'm just frustrated. Anybody have any advice for me? Or just wanna talk for a little while? I'm bored.

why wouldnt your parents pay for it?

Because my mom is mad at the owner for basically running my studio into the ground. And nothing has gone as expected, so she doesn't want to be paying her anymore than she has to.

I see her reasoning because I'm just as unhappy about it as she is, but if it's where I'll be happiest, I'm not sure how she'll feel :/ It's so confusing.
Today we had a practice and one of the girls asked me what classes I was taking next year and I just said "I don't know yet". It's not a lie, but it's not the full truth.

I hope she would. But I don't even know where I'm dancing next year so I'm not too worried about it... I just don't like making friends, knowing I probably won't be there next year, and then never seeing them again.
Like I said to you earlier, I could have gone to dinner with some of them, but no. My mom was "too busy". Any friend making opportunities I get should be taken because I'm not the most social person in the world.

I've always been like that. It's annoying sometimes. I take one class at the studio that owns us and I didn't talk to any of the people til like a week ago. The class started in February. It takes me a long time to warm up to people.
Thanks I'm sure I will be too, making the decision is just really hard.

I care!! but have no advice..

I second this....

The decision is easy. Take a part time job and pay for it yourself.
Or contact a few of your friends from the old school and just dance with each other for free. Of course if you want to go pro this won't work but if it's just about the dance it would probably be good

Rex, it costs like $300 a month for all of my classes. I don't have a job yet, I'm working on that. But I don't want to spend all my paychecks paying for dance classes.
That would work, but no where near the same. No recital, none of the stuff that goes on actually at the studio.

Hey Maggie I hope everythinggoes good. I am here to chat with you.

I'm so sorry! I hope that you find the perfect place to dance! I'm sure you're amazing!

Well 300 is not so much. If you get a mimum wage job that's like 40 or so hours on it so you can easily do it

Maybe not but it will be a good first step. And who knows with time you might make it so

I can't work 40 hours a week during the school year. And my brother and I share the car so we can't both we working at the same time.

My aspiring career is not dance related, so I don't want to start my own thing.

No that's 40 or so hours a month or 10 or so hours a week. And if you take night shifts they will probbaly pay you more. Besids you have to do it onlky till your 18 then there won't be a problem
