Well here we are a year later and it looks like history is repeating itself for the HAOD. A 2nd eviction in as many years, missing costumes (funny how it is always the supplier's fault), a new venue for recital (due to open bill still owed to New Oxford School by Ms. Spicer) and unpaid teachers, wrongly accused, to rationalize non payment of yet another unpaid debt. Where are all of the supportive parents of the student's that have been shafted for a second year straight? Here's an idea, follow Ms. Spicer, again, to her new location and new studio name (The Hanover Christian Academy of Dance). How repulsive to play the religious card and have the nerve to solicit local business in the area for donations. I hope these donors are aware of the track record of the owners and that the money given will go to pay personal expenses of the Spicers. I guess it is the only hand to play after passing bad checks in gas stations around town. (See the May 20th edition of the York Daily Record) I feel badly for the young girls of the academy that work so hard, the parents that sacrifice to pay for classes only to have to deal with all of the Spicer's annual baggage, Mrs. Hare who started the academy only to have it run into the ground and the creditors all over town that are left waiting for payment that will never come. Unfortunately, some people are just not cut out to own and run a business effectively. Rest in Peace Hanover Academy of Dance and Good Luck to the Christian Dance Academy or whatever your new name is......maybe the third time will be a charm?
Pros: Different studio every year
Cons: Owner/Directress doesn't have a clue
