| - This dance school is a nightmare. The first major issue was the discrimination. I don't know what factors Allison discriminates on, but she does pick favorites and does treat children badly. My daughter was routinely ignored, from the moment she entered those doors to the moment she exited. Of course, it wasn't obvious until the recital costs were paid. She would not say hello or goodbye to my daughter and would not correct her. I actually took several videos of this discriminatory practice, starting from the moment we open the door to the moment we left! This was my daughters second year of dance and she managed to regress. She knows less than she did when she started the school year because of the lack of education! Allison was great at showing, but not teaching. Obviously, since it was acceptable for the teacher to ostracize my daughter, her peers caught on and treated her poorly as well, with no correction from Allison. They would routinely make fun of her, in front of Allison, who would ignore it and continue texting. She ruined dance for my daughter.
Aside from the discriminatory practices, the school boasts affordability, and mentions 2 tickets, a tshirt, and a gift as part of the recital fee on their website. That is a flat out lie. 2 tickets are included, but I have yet to see a gift for the dancer or a tshirt. Of course, we had the option to PURCHASE one, for an additional cost! Tuition is about par with other schools, in some cases more expensive. For the quality, it is not worth the price tag.
An additional treat was the "entertainment tax" that this business owner of 3 years "didn't know about". I received a general email telling me that this tax was to be paid and all cards on file had ALREADY been charged, with NO knowledge or consent, in the range of roughly $8-$40! No, that $8 didn't break the bank, but I was NOT informed prior to the charge that my card WOULD be charged. Only after the fact. Any decent business owner knows it is illegal to charge credit cards for fees outside of what is authorized. The best part is, next year all dancers will be REQUIRED to have a credit card on file! Knowing that she charges credit cards for any absurd fee she can come up with, I wouldn't trust her holding onto MY info! Her business practices reek of fraud...
At the end of the year, this left my daughter with lowered self esteem and a distaste for dance, a hobby that she DID enjoy. I would only recommend this school if you are looking for a creative form of child abuse. Otherwise, look elsewhere for a quality school that will actually TEACH your child and respect them.
