Completely un-dance related, but I’m losing my mind w/all the bridal showers I have. With all due, all these brides have lived w/their fiancé’s for a long time. The whole purpose of a shower is to shower a bride with items needed to merge households.

All these brides are just using it as an opportunity to upgrade their current shit. While I do get it, it’s a little frustrating. Being expected to spend lots of money on expensive items that they already have, random ass items like lawn chairs, or shit like towels that they can

honestly buy themselves. I’d have more respect if they were like, “yeah, can you just give us some money for our honeymoon? That’d be helpful.” DONE. Meanwhile, I will be crossing my fingers that I get all the items on my registry since I don’t live w/my fiancé.

Forced to be closed until January 15th now... but don’t worry, crowded malls, bowling, and gyms are still allowed to be open. Make it make sense 🙃🙃🙃

ANDDDDD we’ve been extended to stay closed. Well folks. I’m disgusted with my government. My first round of rent deferment is due this month from our first round of shutdowns. how the hell am I coming up w/that money? #help

Let me just say- holding competition practice over zoom- HYSTERICAL. I’ll be happy if my kids jump clap on time come Competition 😅

I swear if one more of my friends tells me, “you’ll be fine. Don’t stress” I am going to LOSE it. You have ZERO clue what goes into owning a small business. Zero.

THIS FOR THOSE IN THE BACK THAT STILL DON’T UNDERSTAND
Don’t tell me everything will be ok when you have no clue how many students I lost when we went virtual the first time.

In all reality, how do parents expect us to survive another shutdown (that is happening) and request refunds/discounts... PSA: we won’t survive if you stop paying. Ridiculous.

What’s more fun than 1 shutdown with no government aide? ANOTHER shutdown with no government aide! Wahoooo! 😐

Haven’t been on here in a hot minute. How’s everyone doing? Are we all surviving?

Things I don’t have time for in 2020: a parent encouraging their dancer to lie to me, the SO, about the dancer being positive for Covid. Then arguing w/me about the amount of time they have to stay out of the studio. GTFOOOOO 😒

Lolololol when a teacher quits and gives you a day notice to find someone new... YEAH THATS COOL THANKS 2020. The hits just keep on comin’

Help: in desperate need of a good teen contemporary song/concept. This is their first time venturing into contemporary.

Today marks the beginning of month 7 of being shutdown. Rent is still due. Other bills are still due. Virtual classes have lost their luster (thanks to kids being on screen all day for school.) Is there anyyyyy end in sight 😭

Feeling entirely defeated at this point.

Remember that time that I had to have emergency (yes, unplanned) mouth surgery and had to cancel outdoor classes for the week (only 1 teaching at the moment) and a dance mom had the balls to tell me off? Starting to really re-think why I own a studio
