I REALLY try to stop myself from talking about anything related to “dance drama” on here, but I really just wanted to say something about Dyllan. It genuinely doesn’t matter whose “side” you’re on; it’s abundantly clear that Dyllan went through a lot and that moving studios has clearly helped her through that. I’ve actually been through a situation that’s extremely similar to Dyllans where I was in a situation that was detrimental to my mental health and decided to leave, and it also caused a HUGE amount of “drama.” There were people that were incredibly supportive and loud about it, but there were also people who were not supportive at all and loud about it. That part was probably the most traumatic part of the situation for me (people talking about me leaving, debating whether I should have left, etc). It’s truly scary as fuck to leave something like that, and people speculating and fighting about it makes it 100x worse. So, I guess my point in posting this is PLEASE don’t turn Dyllan’s post into an excuse to further speculate about her experience, to argue about whether she should have left, who’s “right,” etc. I know that her posting that opens her up to a bit of scrutiny, but I just ask that everyone think twice before posting about it.
