My daughter has been attending lessons at acrodance company for the past few months. Their studio has an open view for the parents but they close the curtains during practice which i think is bizarre and incredibly tone deaf consider the prevalence of abuse in young women's sports. They say they are doing it because they want what the girls are working on to be a "surprise" but it is creepy and weird.
When my daughter was first enrolled, I was manually making her payments monthly. After the first month or two, the owner called me and told me they require you to have a payment on autopay and literally stayed on the phone with me while I put my card in the system to confirm it was done. I now know why she did this, so they could continue to scam me out of my money after I try to cancel my daughter's registration. My daughter decided she no longer wants to take dance lessons, but when I try to cancel, no one responds. There is no way to cancel in their online system. Everyday for the last week, I've texted the owner Jennifer, texted her employee Sharimar or I've emailed the studio's email address. Besides receiving a text from Sharimar telling me that Jennifer would reach out, I've not received a response and I've been charged for this month's lessons. Don't trust this place, or at the very least don't put your card on autopay. They will scam you out of your money and continues to charge you for god knows how long after you've tried to cancel registration. read more
