Song and Dance

One star for the great teacher who managed to keep a peppy attitude while dealing with 4 and 5 year olds, and even teaching some of them how to dance pretty well.
Other than that, take your money somewhere else!
The office staff was always too busy, and hardly acknowledged me even when I was paying them. You would think that it hurt them to smile!
As with most dance business, you pay out the arse for everything. deposits here, tshirts, there, videos, 14 dollar recital tickets… as is expected of these places, I guess…
However, their 5+ hour recital (50 dance performances with skits in between) was on Father’s Day this year.
They let everyone know that children are supposed to stay until the end of recital, but they don’t bother telling you how long the recital is.
I had family in from out of town, and an infant. I wasn’t about to stay another 2 or 3 hours after intermission after her 2 minute routine was over.
They initally tried to tell me I was not allowed to take my own daughter out. People actually stood in my way. A volunteer dad got into a shouting match with my own dad and physically threatened him. After 20 minutes of this, my dad called 911 and the person with the sign in sheet to check your kid out came running out and had the nerve to tell me to hurry up and sign in it because she left her daughter backstage to change herself.
Hello, you were trying to keep me from taking my own daughter home!!!
These are miserable elitist, money hungry business people. I laughed when I read the program about how they are trying to bring dance to so many people.
What a way to introduce a newcomer to dance!
