Is Mimsy N. never corrected her, Jessi would call that racism too. "She doesn't like touching black people."
Interesting aside: When a correction is done in class, the instructor usually does need to touch you. After I had surgery on all my limbs, I started back in the absolute beginning classes to slowly stretch the scar lines, and in that class was a man whose culture bans women from touching him (I don't know what his culture was, he never specified, and no, he wasn't brown-skinned--please no assumptions that he must have been Muslim, though I think this community is better than to just assume that). The poor instructor had such a hard time instructing him. Since a lot of ballet relies on muscle memory, it's more effective for an instructor to raise your elbow to where it needs to be rather than to tell you to raise if an inch and a half, or to hold your feet where they need to be when you plié so you can feel how it feels when done correctly. That class couldn't have any exercises that would require holding hands (sometimes going across the floor with arms crossed with a partner can help with speed) since he was the only guy in that class. Thank goodness he wasn't back the next session.
