My daughter attended Starz for 4 years. We left the studio in fall of '09 because of several observations and situations which occurred. \r

We are at a new studio loving it, but I am so disappointed that I paid for a service which now I see was little benefit to my child. I'm seeing the dance technique is very poor for the recreational classes because my daughter is struggling with technique at her new studio. When I assure her teacher she has danced for 4 plus years, she is shocked she is unable to do some of the basic moves. This is extremely discouraging because my daughter loves to dance, but now feels defeated due to the fact that proper dance technique was not performed in recreational classes. I understand these classes are for fun, but as a parent I expect my child to learn the same techniques as those who are in Company. Why should the emphasis be strictly on those who want to compete? What about those who dance because they love to dance don't they deserve the same skills as those in Company?\r

It's sad to see a business run with the intent to teach children to dance, but that you don't care enough to teach them properly from the beginning.
Cons: did not teach proper dance technique
