Giving and Accepting Constructive Criticism The Studio Owner/Teacher Relationship

None

I’ve been teaching a long time.I’ve taught at a lot of studios in a lot of different environments.  For the most part, the majority of my employers have been very hands-off in terms of my choreography.  I always hoped that meant they liked my work and trusted me to grow their students and make them look good in performance.  What I’ve discovered is, more often than not, they’re just afraid to say anything.  They don’t to want to overstep their boundaries.  They’re worried that the teacher might get upset or take it personally.  In many cases, they’re probably right.  The teacher might very well take it personally or feel insulted.
