The Center For Dance

I was skeptical from the start based on the informal and basic paperwork I received, but the location and time of the class was convenient, so I thought I would give it a try. I should have gone with my gut. For my five year old, the class was about twenty to twenty-​five 4 – 6 year olds, management was sub par, parents were suppose to be able to watch, but were actually asked to leave so she could manage the class better… or maybe so we couldn’t see the lack of management there was is more my thought. The class was once a week for a year and at the end there was a recital for the whole center. The two five year old classes performances together were less than five minutes… but to go to the performance it was $ 15 per person, which cost us $ 60 to see five minutes after we already paid for a year of classes. A DVD was an additional $ 30 since you couldn’t tape the actual performance. Great from a business perspective because what parent or grandparent won’t go see their child’s performance, so she has us there and probably made a lot based on the audience… by the way the tickets were only $ 10 last year… probably realized why not raise it $ 5…they will pay it. Anyway, little management, no feedback ALL YEAR, nothing about how she was doing, no personal conversations or progress reports, and I doubt she even knew who my child was, so very impersonal, and overall a lack the wow factor. I paid less for lessons in swim, gymnastics, and piano and had a much better, personal experience.
