Oh please whatever...everyone understands business but distort what was said if you want. Making a profit is one thing, greed is certainly another. Some people do have a brain and eventually tap into their ability to add and subtract. Since Michelle is so business proper, why doesn't she claim all the thousands and thousands of dollars for privates she makes? You know, that money that's paid to her in cash and just a guess, but not reported anywhere? Add up the soloists and duet/trios times hundreds each, and don't forget those studio fees for privates too, cash of course. I don't know about you, but if I worked those hours and in those large quantities, I would be required to state it as income. How about those studio incentives from Competitions? The ones that offer it do so with 5-10 percent back. Now who paid the fees to begin with? Oh that's right, the parents. So stop with the poor Michelle. From where I see it, profit, not the love of dance, is the main objective. I don't think anyone would even mind so much if their kid was treated kindly and minimally taught. When you go into a profession concerning kids, it is a given that it should be at least a fraction about kids. In MY experience, I have not seen this from Michelle. I have witnessed as has been discribed with the outbursts, tantrums and etc. all while sticking her hand out for more green. Oh, and as far as shoving her jimmy choo's up someone and ""hunting"" us all down...1. She better hang on to her shoes because there may be less of them in the future when her enrollment dwindles as people eventually see it all for themselves and 2. she already knows each person. They are most of the faces she overlooks daily and every other person she has either wronged personally or worse, their children. Michelle is no victim, it is just finally catching up with her. What was it they say about karma?? She should clean up her act and learn what is proper when teaching children.
Pros: zero
Cons: countless
