I would speak up too. The most important thing is your daughter's passion for dancing, you don't want to lose this. She's so young and it's good that she has dancing in her life and that she sees it in her future. Another reason to speak up is that you are paying this instructor. I danced for a few years and I know it's not cheap. It's very expensive with the classes and preforming and traveling. It's terrible that your daughter is reluctent to go to class those days. I like YorkichonBella's idea of asking the instructor how your daughter is doing and if there is anything she can do to improve the areas she's not strong in. Good luck! Let us know how your chat with the instructor goes!
