Today, at my daughter's ballet recital, after she was done dancing, grown adults booed. She's five. FML

What a horrible thing to do to a child. I hope she doesn't let this discourage her.

In the immortal words of the Dragon Warrior Poe, "They're just jealous of my (her) awesomeness..."

Well that's the teacher fault for not teaching her right

How do you now the teacher didn't teach her right? OP's daughter is 5, she could have made a few mistakes, and that is not the teachers fault.

If they were other kids, I could understand, since other kids are just jerks like that, but adults?

Awww, poor kid! I wonder why the hell they did that, mistake or not... FYL OP, and FHL.

I hope the teacher ejected everyone who booed. That's just evil. It's miserable if it happens to adult performers who can possibly salvage some of their self esteem, but five year olds? They do what they learn, they frequently view themselves in the ways that they perceive others view them.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. 5 is far too young to get that kind of crap from adults. If the instructor in charge didn't remove them, I say you remove your daughter from that class. There are better places for her to learn I'm sure.

On the bright side - that's a great opportunity to teach the kid how to properly handle criticism. It'll only get worse when she grows up...
