He could only say a handful of words at 2.5 years old. I was worried, I would hear other children during playdates saying their colors and numbers and I felt my son was behind. Within only a few months of sending him here he speaks full sentences and he has completely transformed into an advanced speaking child. The teachers are above and beyond and you can tell they really care about their students. The owner and principal are amazing as well. My son does not cry when I drop him off, he is actually excited to go to school and never puts up a fight.

The TRUTH is, you (& Tom), did not build an empire. Stop kidding…read moreyourself and lying to the public. You built a small PYRAMID SCHEME. The FACTS Some of the most beautiful, talented, valuable and genuine people were scammed by you (& Tom). You took advantage of young, talented and giving individuals by "luring them in" to your franchise with the tangled web you weaved about them being a "part of your family", "we will help you and your business grow because we want you to be successful just like our first studio" etc, etc, etc. You started out claiming love for your Planet Ballroom family (franchisees, staff and students), but greed took over and all you want is money and more money and more money, at all cost. Not one of these amazing people (franchisees and pro dancers/instructors) were ever without value, talent, or opportunity -Much more talent than you! Only God gives value and talent to each person. And only God provides opportunities to us. Not you. I have never seen a person, beyond the immature years of childhood, preach and purport more about them self and what they do and how great they are and what they accomplish and what an expert they are and how they have done so much good and how they have achieved so much success and how they have provided so much to others and how much wealth they have acquired, than you. If that does not tell even the most basic people in the world that there is certainly something not right about someone that constantly toots their own horn..... The remainder of the FACTS speak for themselves. In the last 4 short years, this franchise/pyramid scheme you started: Approximately 25 franchisees have left (less than a handful still on deck fighting the last fight in the lawsuit against you) the collapsed company- Planet Ballroom 15 franchise locations were opened in that 4 year period. 12 of those locations are PERMANENTLY CLOSED. Some of the franchisees/owners either walked away, or declared bankruptcy - as a result of you scamming them and stealing from them. The other locations left the franchise (with all of THEIR students - because Planet Ballroom, who?, is not a /regional/national household brand) and REBRANDED their studio as a local business. They are happier, less stressed, and MUCH MORE successful WITHOUT you. You did not create ballroom dancing. This art was providing culture, grace, beauty and glamour long before you came around. You did not even create everything you claim these dancers/business owners do in their studios. Remember, Tom took the famous Davita syllabus and renamed it. You do not have people who watch you and your success closely. Seriously? You have 155 followers on FB and 655 on IG, but you have posted 6,280 posts on IG. You consistently have very very few "likes" on every one of your posts. If you really built an empire, it would be obvious in the above stated. facts, and it is not....so - EPIC FAIL there. Lisaney is a talented, creative, extremely smart and very genuine person in his own right. His methods are his own, just as each of us have our own. He is doing his part to "make known" how fake you are, because not one person who experienced you and suffered losses (as you consumed make up, Starbucks, purses, cars, jewelry, luxuries, etc etc, with the money you stole and scammed from hard-working young people) wants to see you do that to another honest and trustworthy talented and valuable person. The franchisees figured out your scam, but not before they incurred, not only financial losses, but also humiliation, disrespect and lies from you (&Tom). You are actually the one that needs the restraining order against you so you cannot scam another person in a fake company - pyramid scheme. I know, it must be difficult for your makeup "fans" out there to believe. But they have not seen you up close and personal, in action, high and mighty, temper tantrums and all. No, they only see the Fake Princess on Social Media. You must not understand that claiming to be an authority, an expert and a specialist comes with accountability. Rather than going through the entire process of explaining this to you, let the facts stated in this post and a sincere reflection on how you have treated your former staff and franchisees, speak for themselves. Honestly, and in all sincerity, you should really examine what you have done and examine how empty your life really is (Yes, it is obvious) and truly humble yourself, get away from social media and your fake life and (even though it will be a grueling process) find what God really wants this time, not you and your "fairytale world". I promise you then that you will not have to push "your worth" down people's throats. You have a few good qualities. Use them for good this time, not for your own ill-gotten gains, and maybe even use them to make restitution to those from whom you have taken. Humble yourself this time, then the good

I think Planet Ballroom is completely out of business now. I'm not aware of a single open…read morefranchise. Hard to believe that such a "successful" franchise operation would so completely and thoroughly crash and burn that quickly! Here's one thing epitomizes all that I've known about the franchise. There were many significant holes in the upstairs floor of one studio. Literal holes - an inch wide and several inches long! One part owner fell when her shoe got caught in them, and that happened to many others. Despite many complaints the landlord (the owner of the overall franchise operation at the time) did NOTHING to fix them for YEARS. He knew it was a problem (he had a contractor look at the floor for possible solutions but never fixed it!). How can you claim to be a Christian - and even a decent person - if you risk the health and careers of your employees and your customers for a few bucks? That is greedy AND stupid (injured customers are unlikely to keep paying you and are likely to sue you). They had a great model with the videos and such but they blew it. Update: So now they have devoted their website to crowing about their legal victories and telling partial truths about their former franchisees. Classy, eh? And sort of counterproductive, I think. Their theme is that lots of their franchisees took advantage of them (even though there doesn't appear to be ANY franchises left - what happened to them?!). So why advertise how (allegedly) gullible you are? Who would want to do business with them now when their message is this: "Everyone is evil except us, and all of our studios are closed, but we are business geniuses so trust us with your money! And if things don't work out we'll flame you on our website for all to see!" Uh, sure. And much of their "shocking" evidence was out of context or irrelevant. Any reader of the site will realize they are getting a partial story. These people are very quick to threaten lawsuits. They even threatened a Facebook page run by the STUDENTS of a former studio because there was a picture with their old logo. And they threatened someone who made a benign comment on social media about the wife. Pathetic! Fun fact: Just because you can legally enforce a contract where you took advantage of the business ignorance of someone doesn't mean you were the ethical party. Hypothetically speaking, of course. P.S. My understanding is that the wife was part-owner of the Ballantyne studio, which folded after about 6 months. Did she sue herself over that? What was their excuse for that failure?! They forgot to mention that on their web page.
