Well, Grace closed the first part of this thread so that I could start another, better one, and here I am doing it! Some examples of teachers from Hell (both real and fictional) are:<P>Pierina Legnani<BR>Lucifer Petipa<BR>Cecchetti<BR>Pina Bausch (as a ballet teacher. Don't you dare discuss her seriously in THIS thread !)<BR>Torquemada<P>Please come up with more, everyone, and describe them . <P>------------------<BR>~Intuviel~<BR><A HREF="http://www.freetown.com/Uptown/HaightAshbury/1055/ballet.html" TARGET=_blank>Balletica</A><BR>

John Prinz and I quote, "I danced with Makarova, I danced with Kirkland,I,I,I,I,......." (he was usually yelling this at us.) <P>and we all thought, Great! But how can I clean up my double tours?

Pina Bausch as a ballet teacher? Well, I don't know. You might be surprised.

Grace suggested Pina Bausch. Not me . <P>I hear Ninette de Valois was not exactly the most pleasant person in the studio. Same with Mme. Legat. <P>------------------<BR>~Intuviel~<BR><A HREF="http://www.freetown.com/Uptown/HaightAshbury/1055/ballet.html" TARGET=_blank>Balletica</A><BR>
