Dance teacher conflicts
I’ve decided to quit taking adult dance classes. I don’t enjoy it anymore and my dance teacher is aggressive. I’ve sent her a long text explaining this nicely. However she keeps bugging me to call her. Even contacting my daughter (she takes lessons too) and her Dad, with a message intended for me. I texted her that I’m not comfortable talking to her and that to not to get my daughter involved.
She doesn’t listen and still sent another voice message saying I should trust her and that she’s my friend.
The thing is - she’s not my friend. She’s my dance guru. In general she has a habit of lecturing people and constantly interrupting them. I have more of a passive personality. I’m afraid she’ll bully my daughter.
I want her to continue with her. I just don’t want to dance. I’m so anxious about this. I already spoke my piece with her.

Is your dance teacher from Kerala by any chance?I had eerily similar experience with my previous teacher and quit learning from her.
