My daughter was bullied at one particular Irish dancing school in South Yorkshire because she had 'big feet' according to one of the display team members. She was never allowed to reach her potential there. Fortunately we had a lot of support from Sheffield parents and their offspring, so eventually we changed class. The teacher was in many respects the puppet of the parents at the class I don't feel able to name, but after we changed class she got a lot fairer tuition from the teacher, and a hell of a lot of help from one older girl, Bernadette Tynan, to whom we owe so much.
