    I taught for Brian Jones the summer of 2016 in his performing etiquette camp. I was notified the…read moreday before I taught what my schedule would be. I requested to teach a 4 hour block since I was traveling from Marietta to Conyers (1 hr. drive). I agreed to teach the 1 1/2 hr. Ballet/Jazz class which included children from ages 5 to 18. I believe one of the boys was actually 3. Brian said it would serve as an audition class, however he only stuck his head in the classroom a couple of times and never split them into levels like I was told would happen. I had been told ahead of time that I would not be paid right after the class, pay was every two weeks. I contacted Brian about how I would receive payment and gave him my address so he could mail the check when it was pay day. I asked if the pay day was Friday June 17, he said Monday. Monday came and went and I did not receive pay or communication. I messaged him on June 27th and asked if he sent my check yet. I told him I would be leaving town and would appreciate communication from him. He responded on June 28 asking for my email address. He already had it, since I had sent my bio and headshot prior to working for him, but I sent it again on June 29. I reminded him on June 30th that it had been 29 days since I worked for him. He responded saying he would send the payment that day. He finally sent it June 30. He only owed me $60, but a friend of mine who also taught for him this summer has not received her check of $400 that he promised he would pay her on Aug. 31st. I told him if he doesn't pay her, I would go public and warn other teachers to stop working for him. He threatened to sue me.

    Brian jones is a fraud. And he doesn't know how to conduct business. I signed my daughter up for…read morehis tumbling class and I should've known from the first class, he is a phony. For one he didn't have any paperwork on what to expect from the class, when payment is due, practices, performances, etc. very unprofessional, everything is verbal or through a text message at the last minute. When the kids need extra practice. That wasn't told ahead of time you'll find out once practice is over. I told him I was going to withdraw my daughter. He tried to get combative with me through text saying I owe $50 for registration to perform which she isn't going to perform so why should I pay that, plus $75 to withdraw. And the other kids are going to suffer because I'm withdrawing her..no offense but the other kids don't have anything to do with why I'm withdrawing her. He just want extra money which I'm not giving...

    Overpriced for tumbling training…read more My biggest complaint is that if your child doesn't participate in recitals, parades etc, the coach will leave your child to self instructions. And the main reason we wont let our child participate in recitals / parades, etc., is bc she's not that GOOD! YET!!! But recitals n stuff is a scam to just get more money out of you! But the straw that broke the camel's back is coming right off Thanksgiving they shoved a pack of raffle tickets in my face neatly wrapped with my childs name on it - I asked what if we don't want to participate in that (SCAM) the unprofessional said you have to pay $50. You already know - DECLINE!!!! Next class the coach only let my child practice a few routines. Towards the end the coach left my child standing in line waiting for her turn. The ignored my baby! Finally, my child just left and got her STICKER and belongings and we left. After I witnessed that as I watched from outside through the glass window, I decided to finish the course and w/draw my child. There is no way I will allow them to bully my child ALL bc I declined to sell or pay them $50 for some RAFFLE TICKETS!!! So this Wednesday, they paid my child no attention ! My baby got little practice and was told the training was for kids in the parade (which the coach denied saying it when I confronted her about it). But this week not only did the coach limit my child practice she wudnt even let her get a STICKER - NOPE! THE COACH TOOK THE STICKERS AND STARTED TAPPING MY CHILD ON HER HEAD WITH THEM!!!!! So no I wudnt recommend!

    Georgia Stars have been a staple in the StoneMountain community for I know over 10 years . The top…read morenotch classes for various ages geared to the youth.
