The owner is verbally abusive to the kids. When a parent confronts her on it, she acts like an…read moreimmature child. She only cares about her competition team kids and she treats them even worse than non-team kids. Their system of doing things is ancient. Nothing is computerized, everything is hand written. Emails would be helpful, the little slips of paper that sometimes go home with your child rarely make it to the parents to know what is going on. Needs an office manager ASAP, not the old lady running the show, who also gives the customers a hard time. I guess they don't understand that we are paying THEM. The studio is cramped, you can't walk up and down the hallway, no place to wait for your child. And seating is limited. A few chairs in the front and a small kitchen in the back. Forget when class lets out, it is a nightmare. Also the car rental place washes cars right next to their entrance and is annoying. It is HIGHLY unsafe with them whipping the cars in and out with small children walking to and from, and the water turning to ice in the winter. My child does not want to return. We will be looking elsewhere no matter the cost. Not worth the aggravation of this place.

MEAN GIRLS. I enrolled my 7 year old granddaughter for Lyrical Ballet in November 2018, and I was…read morevery disappointed. On several occasions, I witnessed my granddaughter being subjected to bullying by several girls in her class. I told Tanya about the girls' inappropriate behavior, and I was told that "my granddaughter will make friends." Due to her lackadaisical attitude, I became extremely vocal, pulled my granddaughter from their school and demanded a refund, which they obliged. Additional complaints is that there is no guidance, communication, and the studio is sloppy and unclean. A child is not a commodity, and needs to be treated as such. Both owners are pompous regarding the amount of years that they have been in business. So, what does that mean to you, a prospective client? You will be subjected to ridicule if you make a complaint, regardless of the complaint, just because they have been in business for several decades. And, if your child is bullied, there may be no recourse. It seems that both Tanya and Betty Jean were angrier at me for bringing up this situation than being accountable and responsible for not having a no-bullying policy in place. On a positive note, my granddaughter is now in a clean, well-established, well-structured, fun, and disciplined ballet school, and she is thriving. She is very happy and can enjoy her classes and classmates without any worries.
