“My teacher once joked that he would write in my contract, that he is allowed to hit me. And I would sign to say I agree. I was so brainwashed into thinking that he was the only teacher in the world who could help me to succeed, I replied “I don’t care what you do, as long as I am good at ballet by the end of it!” So then when he did hit me in class, almost daily, I felt that it was my own fault. (I never signed a contract).”
