Wow I have been waiting to see how long it would take someone to finally write the truth about this Dance Studio. I agree with all the comments people have been writing about this Dance Studio. We will never return back this is not the kind of environment I would want my child to be exposed to. Thieves for sure! The money the charges the extra fees just so you know many of the Company Parents had to pick up a second or third job just to pay their bills and all the extra charges. My Husband and myself both had to pick up a second job just to pay the bill it is over the top priced that's for sure. If there wasn't this and that and this and that the price wouldn't be so high but all the extra fees it was an extravagant price I was paying. Teaching Staff I never really experienced anything too bad but it depends on who you get as a teacher. I am not going to lie my daughters forever favorite teacher you don't even see anymore I heard that teacher kind of dropped her classes and moved on from the unfairness drama which is really sad because she was amazing. I hope she found something new and better and can keep her passion going because she was one talented and creative teacher. The only unprofessional thing I can not stand about the teachers is that there is one of the teachers that has her favorites and picks and chooses for sure just so she wins and not to mention all the choreography she steals its actually sad. Parents caught on. I still hear about it and we have been gone for some time. The director being fake I also agree if its not her sitting between people ease dropping she makes sure she goes out into the parking lot just to see what your talking about and acts as if she is just running to her car but she isn't. Instead of worrying about the parents she needs to worry about her not so professional office staff. Please when I think of the women in the office I want to vomit. She smells so bad just me thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach. She is a bigger women but that is no excuse to not shower for days constantly wear the same outfit two or even three days in a row. This sounds really gross but she smells like dirty *** and seriously she is so gross and she is the first person you see when you walk in that office and it smells from her so bad. You get so many emails I just stopped reading them because you never knew who they were coming from the awfully smelling office lady or the director or was the office lady emailing you from the directors email?? No one ever knew we all just ignored them because they were so unprofessional and we received at all hours of the night and most of the time they made no sense. Silly thing about the rules and emails you will get emails about smoking cigarettes which I fully agree dancers lungs are important but then again you see that awful smelling office women outside chain smoking and talking *** herself to other mothers and literally *** in front of everyone and laughs about it and smells up the entire studio she is so gross. The office women is the reason I will tell my friends do not go in that dirty gross studio go somewhere else that is at least clean and fun and that cares about the kids. The director and the teachers and the choreography I agree you will get this and the payments where ever you go dancing competitively but our main reason for leaving was the gross unclean and unprofessional smelly office lady. I do miss them all but I couldn't stomach the women's smell at all anymore everyone always complained my youngest would hold her nose when we had to go make a payment. Thank god they have online paying most parents I heard lately its so bad they wont even go in there. It could be the ultimate Dance Studio in CT but with that women in the office and the dirtiness that studio will never ever be #1
