During the Covid madness, although we are still in it, they forced you to take zoom classes. I let…read morethe front desk guy, don't recall name, know that the zoom lessons would not work in my house due to bandwidth and my family now working remotely. They refused to work with me, refused to help or pause my membership. I told them I would happily come back when the corona virus situation was over. He told me he would call me back once he spoke to the director on what they could do for me. I never received a phone call. I had to email them and let them know I wanted to cancel my account. Come to today. I called, hoping to bring my kids back because I received an email from them stating they were going reopen on June 6th. The same guy answered the phone and recalled me. I asked if students were now coming back. He said he remembered me, that he couldn't help me because I didn't want zoom and he didn't know when the students would be allowed back. I validated the email, "We are happy to announce that we re-opened on June 6th! Students may take lessons online or come in to our studio electively based on their feelings of safety. We will continue to provide online instruction to any student who prefers to continue distance learning." He flat out lied to me. Beware. If you have any issues they will not take care of you, or help you out.
