Certain dancers -- mostly those with a strong social media following or close ties to staff such as other teachers or those who are helpers-- are consistently highlighted online and given special treatment. Despite parents signing media consent forms, it's always the same few girls being promoted. These dancers receive extra attention, better solo choreography, and are often allowed to miss rehearsals for other commitments like modeling or outside competitions -- while other students are held to a much stricter standard. What's worse is that these same students are allowed to critique others openly, which creates a toxic environment. The studio claims to promote unity and a safe space for all dancers, but in reality, it fosters division and discouragement. Talented dancers are repeatedly pushed to the back while those less technically skilled are front and center -- simply because of favoritism. Sadly, some students are even spoken about negatively in front of others, including by the director herself. From discussing student performance to sharing private comments about parents and finances, it's not the kind of professionalism you expect when trusting someone with your child's growth and development. You sit here and judge other studios yet they are catching up to you. Many of us see it. We hear the comments, notice the behavior, and recognize how it's affecting our kids. Dance should be about self-expression, confidence, and love for the art -- not favoritism, criticism, and exclusion. When kids lose their passion for something they once loved, it's a sign something deeper is wrong. If you're considering this studio, I encourage you to look at the full picture and ask whether it's truly a supportive space for all dancers -- not just a chosen few.

Also, the older girls that dance there would make fun of my daughter because she "couldn't dance as good as they could." The teachers would do nothing to stop the bullying and harassing, which I personally find unacceptable. I pay for my kid to go to dance and have fun, not to be made fun of by other children.
