So SD11 is enrolled in her second drama class series (dreams of being famous). She started at the beginning of the school year and she advanced to the second level.
She loved the first level. From what I can gather it was mostly fun stuff, with a group of pretty good kids.
The level she is in now is, I think, more demanding (acting is WORK!) and with a set of kids she doesn't get along with very well.

She's skipped a couple classes and refused to go yesterday. She told us last week that a couple boys were "punching" her and another hugged her. Keep I mind this is Ms. Sensitive. A tiny scrape will result in screaming tears. From what I can gather the boys were messing around and giving pinches to arms. She had no bruising and wasn't in tears. The hug I found out was during one of the drama skits. They boy is likely gay (from her confused description of him I think he's latched onto her as a "safe" person). I asked if she had told the instructor, who is a really good one who she likes. She said no. I said talk with your dad.

So DP texted me yesterday, "no drama class today." I had thought it was cancelled and was surprised she opted out. DP said "I didn't want to get into it with you in a text back and forth." He was all testy about it. I said well, I just thought something different. He brought up the punching thing and said that he "couldn't make her go" and that he would talk with the instructor. I said that it's all his decision so he shouldn't worry about me.

See, a similar thing happened with her gymnastics. She got bored with it, said she didn't like the kids in her group and DP said she could quit mid-session. Because "why make her to if she doesn't like it?"

I personally would absolutely follow up with the instructor, sit in in a couple classes, and if all is well make damn sure she finishes the series. At least it's not my $ paid. And you can be sure I'll never pay.
