I have a few things to comment on-1) the studio is very uninformitive. They don't tell you what's going on, they don't remind you of things or provide you with information you should know, like when dancers don't have class, when meetings are (I missed the parent meeting for recital because I had absolutely no idea it even existed). All they seem to care about is collecting money. 2) ties into my first point. The staff is very unfriendly and very rude. They speak to you as if you're insignificant and they are better than you. They are power hungry. (Which I witnessed on the night of recital)3) they treat the 4 and 5 year old dancers the way they treat the 13 and 14 year old dancers. I was informed of an incident where a mom witnessed a worker yelling at a 5 year old for being late for practice. I don't know if that's true, but I believe it probably is based off of what I've witnessed and experienced myself. They expect them to be okay with being without their parent until 10 at night when recital is over. They won't allow you to pick up your child until the very end. Aside from that- my family had an emergency and I requested my daughter at intermission. One of the lady's that worked there questioned my mom on the emergency, demanded proof of it, her words "do you have a text message or a voice mail regarding this emergency that I can see or listen to". First of all, it's none of your business what's going on with our family. Second of all, who are you to tell me I can't have my kid? She tried explaining the whole divorced family, kids being kidnapped concept to me.. Which I completely understand but I have been taking my daughter to and from practice since day one. You'd think they should know me by face by now. She has been going to this studio for 9 months. Her father hasn't been around for any of it so you'd think they'd know I wasn't "kidnapping" my child. I had the ticket they gave me when I dropped her off to the classroom she was assigned to before she went on stage.. The way we were treated was disgusting and rude to say the least. 4) if you want your family to sit together at recital you better be on your computer the second tickets go on sale or you're basically SOL. They claim they only allow each dancer "10 tickets per family". I wasn't able to purchase my tickets the day they went on sale but I had access to a computer the day after and I ended up having to buy a single ticket for myself and one for my husband four rows back from me. If I didn't do it that way, we would have been in the very last row of the auditorium, unable to actually see our daughter on stage performing for the first time. The rest of our family were in the back, single seats all separated from each other. When I called the studio to confirm that only 10 tickets were allowed per family and ask how they monitored that, I was told "we have no way of tracking it, we just go by the honors system and hope the parents don't purchase more than they're allowed". This is not a studio I would recommend to any one. Go elsewhere.
