Sorry it's a little long, but I would really appreciate it if you could take the time to read this.
I have been dancing since I was 9, ballet, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, modern, tap, african etc. but when I tried out for my high school dance team (I'm 16), I didn't make it. When I asked the teacher why, she basically said that I just wasn't good enough. It's not my technique, I can do nice leaps, a solid double and have REALLY nice extensions. It's just that when I actually dance I tend to.. look terrible. Not very controlled with too big movements. I think this is because for about 2 years I decided not to wear my glasses/contacts to dance class, making me unable to really see what I was doing? MANY people with NO prior dance experiene at ALL got on the team. I feel like I have wasted a lot of time and money on something I will never be good at, and will just continue to embarress myself on stage. The thing is I really loved dance, but I am awful and will never be able to be halfway decent/ catch up with anyone else my age. Should I just give up?
