I've been a professional dancer for years and thought it would be fun to go see my friend's daughter in her dance recital last spring. I was horrified by the technique being taught at this studio! The most advanced ballet classes were missing BASIC skills (ie. pointing toes, posture, turnout, etc). The owner herself danced in one of the numbers in the recital and I was shocked that even she (who teaches classes as well) lacked basic dance skills. From what I've heard, the studio is VERY casual, allowing teachers to eat Doritos and drink soda while they teach classes, which in my opinion sets an unprofessional environment for aspiring dancers. I feel bad for the parents who are shelling out hundreds of dollars a year for their children to be taught to dance, and even worse for the children whose potential is being crushed by inexperienced, unprofessional teachers. All in all, stay far away from this place! If you or your children want to learn how to dance, this is NOT the studio to attend... I honestly don't know how they have stayed in business.
