It’s upsetting to be treated differently, especially by someone in charge. It is disappointing that your teacher’s actions are making you dislike ballet.
There’s not much you can do at school about your teachers if they dislike you. Since ballet is not part of your regular school day, you should get to decide what to do in your free time.
You can tell your parents how the teacher makes you feel. You can also choose to quit the class if you feel uncomfortable going to ballet after your parents speak to the teacher or if she continues treating you the same way.
You can also go online and find other places that offer ballet. Then, ask your parents to take you to a trial class.
Remember, your hobbies should bring you joy, not make you cry.
