AHHHH! This is bad!

Last year I went to ballet 3 times every week. I got moved up to a higher level, but our ballet class is only twice a week because the teacher cancelled the pointe class and combined it with regular technique class. The first half our class is with flats and the second half is en pointe. This year I have to go to religious school which means I have to miss one of the classes. Three classes per week is the bare minimum is you want okay technique. Two ballet classes a week is bad, but one is horrible!!! Horrible for technique on and off pointe and will prevent me from advancing!!! I can't quit religious school and the other levels, whose time I could make, are WAY too low for me, unless I was to dance with 8 year olds. I really want to continue with ballet, but feel that the training I'm receiving is hindering me from having any talent at all. I was thinking about going to another studio that specializes in ballet, but the other studio is really expensive. Unless I can get my parents to dig up the money, what should I do? :eek:

By hook or by crook, by any and all means possible, go to that other school! It sounds to me as if the change would be profitable in the long run, even if the tuition is more.
