• I have been at Riley's going on our sixth year and love it!! I now have my two sons and my daughter in this school. It has been a great pleasure watching my children grow as dancers and also as individuals. This school is very professional and does a great job making you feel part of an extended family. I have so many new friends and always feel welcome and comfortable. I can only say great things about the staff. They know what they are doing and have been a family of dancers and a school for over 75 years. I have always recommended this school to family and friends. The recital is a true show in the sense of Broadway and my family comes from all over to enjoy this spectacular event. I am one proud dance dad!!\r

As for a previous comment I saw regarding the rules; it is clear every year what is expected of our children and ourselves every year when we register. It is in writing and you sign it. I think for you to say how horrible your experience was and then say you went back to register again shows that you see the quality of the school. My kids are always fed before the show and during intermission and have never been told they cannot eat. Your child is with you and is not left with the staff of the school. So if you brought your sick family to auditorium full of people and could not find a baby sitter for your youngest is sad and is your responsibility as an adult and parent. I also have never had an issue with my family seeing my children during the show. You are over exaggerating everything and contradict yourself. But after all your complaining of your issues, you still went back when you know you did wrong. You are an adult and you need to teach your children by your example. People are responsible for their actions. And you broke your daughters heart, not the great staff of the school and you were warned the day it happened before you left. Your choice you that have to live with. Own it….\r
