I go to a Performing Arts High School for a drama thing for half the day, but they make us take a dance class once a week. I tend to be good when I have good partners, but the problem is one of the girls who is really good has acted really weird towards me and stopped being friendly, but I don't do so well if I don't have a good partner. She's also somewhat attractive, and the only other girl that's pretty attractive never returns my phone calls and hung out with this guy that has a bad attitude before me. Any advice on how I should proceed and what I should do is greatly appreciated, thanks.

The problem is that I don't think any of them like me.
And I've tried to confront her, but she always avoids me. It's okay to do it with all those other people in the room?

I'm going into politics. I like acting, but I'm not a wannabe, and I'm not putting my life on hold for it. I decided to go there to get out of my other school for a few hours.

Do what your heart tells you to do. You need to perform good with a good partner to get a good grade or you can practice until you get it right with the other.

It has been my experience that sensitivity has little place in a performing arts environment and that a nasty self-absorbed person has an advantage getting ahead... so this is a great time to define a bit more closely the type of person you are and the type you wish to become. The good people of the world who embrace their sensitive side become the happy successful people of the world.
If fame and fortune is your bag definitely stick with the unfriendly one. Or at least own up to who you are are be clear with yourself that it is only a class... you dont have to love her just dance!

I'm not sure I really understand your dilemma. It appears that you're allowing your personal feelings about your classmates get you confused about how you want to proceed with your assignments in your dance classes. Do your assignments and work with anyone who would help you to fulfill that assignment sufficiently. My guess is, if your teacher is allowing you to choose to dance with anyone, then you can probably get a good grade by dancing with either of these girls. Whether or not you are personally attracted to them shouldn't really enter into the consideration.
I assume you're considering a career in the performing arts because you're going to this special performing arts school. In your future career, I'm sure you'll have to work with lots of people that you might not personally be attracted to. It's good practice now to be professional about your school assignments and work with whoever you are supposed to.

It's for class...you don't have to be friendly. Go for the talented partner, and try to open her up - maybe you'll get a better grade and gain a new friendship.

I wouldn't care if the person was as ugly as a horned toad.....if he/she could DANCE.
When I get out on the dance floor ....that's exactly what I want to do....DANCE.
And there's nothing more frustrating than someone with two left feet and no rhythm.

Find the girl that you are most attracted to, that is attracted to you, and if you have to teach her to dance, so be it!! What better way to spend your time than "dancing cheek to cheek"?

Ask the unfriendly one to dance and then ask her what her problem is with you.
