I pulled my 4yo daughter out of the toddler dance combo class for several reasons. The place is run in a militant style that emphasizes rules over having fun. There are fees for everything and the toddler ""uniform"" is ridiculous and expensive. They want credit cards on file to bill you at random. My credit card was stolen and thus deactivated and because I'm not super-human I did not remember to give the studio another card and was sent nasty emails with several fees. We went on vacation and then was sent a nasty email stating that my 4yo daughter missing her class was disrupting the entire class in preparation for a recital that was 2 months away. My daughter caught strep throat and we missed the 2 days to pick up her expensive dance recital uniform because frankly I did not care and thus was charged another fee for missing the 2 day pick-up window. I attempted to discuss the issue with staff but was told to read my student handbook which would in turn explain to me I owed all the fees and should follow the rules better. The only thing my daughter ever praised about her dance class was getting a hand stamp or piece of candy at the end of class. I stronly advise parents to look elsewhere if they want a place that is fun and not too serious. I am certainly a frustrated mom and would NEVER recommend this studio.
