    I danced at Planet Dance for several years and ultimately left because of how poorly I was treated…read more Meghan showed favoritism, pulled students from routines for arbitrary reasons, and made inappropriate comments -- including telling me I was "too old to cry." Dancers whose parents were heavily involved were prioritized over talent or effort. In one routine, I had less than an eight-count of actual dance but still paid full costume and competition fees. When my mother raised concerns, Nancy (owner at the time) brushed her off and said I "needed to be a team player." Competitions were also mishandled -- rehearsal hours were underreported to place dancers in lower divisions for a competitive advantage. After posting my Google review, Planet Dance dismissed it as "misinformation." I emailed the studio asking what was inaccurate and received no reply. I've attached that email and video clips showing Meghan harshly criticizing dancers and enforcing excessive conditioning -- this was a regular, belittling environment. To the owners: refusing to acknowledge concerns doesn't erase what happened. Planet Dance wasn't just a studio -- it was a huge part of my childhood. Trauma doesn't have a timeline. I see it every day in my old photos and memories. Nobody can tell me how to feel or when to stop speaking on it. If you think I'll stay quiet, you're wrong. I have every right to tell my story.

    We come here for private lessons with Rebecca Long. Building is kinda run down, but I'm sure the…read morekids don't notice.

    Wow, I never knew how empowering and invigorating belly dancing could be... I saw a FB post…read moreoffering a free class, so why not try it! Maria the instructor/ owner made me feel so welcome and comfortable the whole time. I honestly didn't know what to expect and was a bit nervous at first. There were some old and new students in the class, they were all really nice. During the class Maria explained everything as she went along, we did have a few water breaks in between. I really learned quite abit for my first time, education is very important when embarking on a new fitness journey. The class I took was the Bellydance Movement. I actually left feeling energized and refreshed from a 1hr class! I will be purchasing a class pass, you save a little more with this option. Im so glad I tried it, and Yes I will be taking classes at least once a week! She also teaches Bellydance at the University Of South Carolina. They have a nice website with all the classes/ hours and info about the instructor.

Maria listens to her students and works with them to make this dance style something that anyone can learn. The students and staff are welcoming, respectful, and supportive. Highly recommend to anyone looking to break out of their comfort zone and wanting to get to know their own body and what it can do!

    I finally got a chance to see the play "Raisin In The Sun" at USC college. The play was approx…read more2.5hrs long. Longstreet theatre is a small intimate venue, seating goes around the room. All the seats are actually good, but next time I will go early for a better seat choice. I actually liked the theater, even though its been neglected for many years. The outside of building is in great shape. The bathrooms are on the second floor, theater on third floor. Elevators are old and slow, we decided to use the stairs instead. No concessions, so eat before you attend. They are taking donations for the upgrade of the seats, I will post pics. The play was excellent, all the actors did such a wonderful job! I will watch the website for future plays. My daughter attended medical school at USC for 6yrs, so I have first hand experience on what the school charges for fees. Im really disappointed that the school has failed the up keep of this historic building. Im not accepting any excuses, its actually shameful. The Arts dept, staff and students deserve better than this. If you want the real history of the theatre, read the truth. I wasn't surprised at all. https://sc.edu/about/our_history/university_history/presidential_commission/commission_reports/final_report/appendices/appendix-11/recommended-for-removal/longstreet_theatre.php

    Beautiful theatre! Seats are in the round, so it's a very unique feeling for live theatre…read more Bathrooms on the second floor, entrance to seating on the third floor. There is an elevator and a small section of handicap accessible seating.
