f you want your child(ren) subject to micro aggressions on every level; especially race related,…read morethis is definitely the place for you and your child. Over the past six months, Barbara Morgan, her daughter Morgan Eaves, and most recently Layne Barter have intentionally engaged in racially subjective communications directly to the parents followed by a video to the children. Specifically, when communicating hair requirements for competition season Morgan Eaves so boldly pens the below communication to all parents directing styling of hair based on skin complexion. See below notations to "dark skinned". This was then followed up with an eyeshadow make up tutorial, from Layne Barter, posted on YouTube (has since been removed) detailing the shade of eyeshadow to use for "light skinned honeys" and "dark skinned lovelies". This video was posted to the dance team's Band social media site for the girls to watch and learn. Please note, because this video was removed after I voiced concerns, I was only able to chapter the cover page of the video-see below. When myself and other parents expressed concerns about the inappropriateness of the video AND the email, the owner Barbara Morgan responded "I don't see anything wrong with what was said in the video or in the email". In response, other parents continued to explain in more detail (almost to the point of begging and pleading) the level of inappropriateness of these communications to Barbara. In good ole fashioned biased style, Barbara resorted to posting a written statement on The Band basically telling everyone that the concerns of one individual(s) does not matter, and that the team is of the utmost importance. See below. Please note, there are very few African Americans or other minorities at this studio. At no time has she met with, nor has she since met, any of these families to discuss this very serious matter. In response, I withdrew my child and requested a refund. When I requested a refund, I was directed to an attorney she hired; where I received a refund of monies as requested. Again, there are only a few minorities at the studio. At no time has she, even as of the date of this writing, addressed this issue with those who remain. It's such a slap in the face and sends the message of I don't give a you know what about your you know what she refers to us as. In addition to this incident, I have witnessed Barbara interject herself in the middle of a sensitive family matter all in the name of making sure the child danced at her studio. There have been other instances of medical emergencies where the parent was NOT contacted. WHY? Because dance is of the utmost importance. After all whats a little breathing problem when in the words of Morgan "never let down your team".

As a divorced parent I lost the battle for where she dances otherwise she would not be dancing here. In fact the only reason she continues to dance there is because they are providing her FREE scholarship to dance there covering all the costs associated with the dance saving her upwards of 10k which is passed along to other parents unknowingly I just ask to be informed of what is going on and have been blocked and they have told my daughter they refuse to communicate with me regarding her welfare and well being and dance activities at the studio. I have gone so far as to get a court order for which they refuse to follow because I do lot want her to dance there. My advice is to stay away and find a studio that is inclusive regardless of disagreements. Because sadly this one is not Also have issue with kids bullying other kids and they not notifying go parents which has caused students to leave as well as they Rey to brush under the rug

We just did a three week "camp" of two back to back classes once a week for our daughter. BE WARNED…read morethat this business has two locations, one on either side of a large surface parking lot in a strip mall. Our young daughter had one class in each building, and had to walk from one building to another - that is, walk through a couple busy streets and a large surface lot - on her own between classes. The business did not tell us that she would have to do this walk between classes, and (more troublingly) did not have her accompanied by a counselor or staff member. For that reason alone, I would never recommend this business. As for the classes, my daughter (who is not yet a particularly advanced dancer) found her ballet class to be very remedial. I would stick with dance at the Y or some place that has a more safe and professional approach.

They treat the classes as if the children are on a competitive team, when my seven year olds just love to dance and want to enjoy the process of learning. We were recently kicked out of our class because of a family emergency that made it impossible to attend the recital at the end of the year so now my children who love going can no longer attend classes through the end of the year. The lack of understanding, flexibility and quite frankly care for the CHILDREN is astounding. I have more examples over the years - this is just the most recent.

There are other classes offered such as vinyasa, Zumba and i believe a strength type class and i fully intend to check them out but seriously, the yin and meditation are enough to keep me coming back for more!
