Unfortunately, I have a very close connection with a staff member at this 'Studio' I am amazed and appalled that Michelle Colon still has any students left - I have both seen first hand and heard about the most awful and immature actions of this woman. Staff, company members, company parents and her own family (yes her own family) are treated like something she stepped on with her Jimmy Choo (courtesey of Rizing Starz parents) shoe. Michelle Colon is an amazing actress- seems so sweet and innocent while telling you your child shows great potential....DON'T BE FOOLED. Behind the facade painted on with Mac Cosmetics, Michelle is nothing but a sad, pathetic, lonely, immature child with a severe Napoleon complex. It disgusts me the way her staff members are treated, all for insultingly low compensation...often working unheard of and pointless long hours with no overtime pay- all at the expense of their families. Michelle is laughing all the way to the bank while many are further damaging their relationships with partners and children alike for this woman. Company parents are handing over their hard earned money for an array of severley marked-up 'neccessities' and forced to travel to obscure locations and competitions so they are guaranteed a win. We really should take our hats off to this kid,people are forking over money left and right (no questions asked- sometimes must be cash only- I wonder why?!) paying for her trips to New York to buy fabric (what on earth?!?) Please be aware, you are being ripped off, your child will never be anything coming from this place...look where all her old students are now-Broadway? Nope, either pursuing other fields or actually teaching for this woman and wasting any chance they may have actually had. It is a damaging environment for all concerned, do not do this to your family-trust me, when you get in it is near impossible to get out- I just hope to God that my loved one will come to their senses and escape before more damage is done
Cons: Michelle Colon
