Absolutely do not recommend Angie's for littles. During the 3
classes we attended I witnessed Ms Julie make condescending remarks to parents and children about the use of various security items (binkies, lovies) and crying when parents left just for a few examples. She also frequently used terms like "big girls don't need binkies", "big girls don't cry" and generally had a condescending and irritated attitude for anything that wasn't what she apparently considered "appropriate behavior". My daughter was having a hard time adjusting to her first class without me with her. Her comments to her about "stop crying" "you can't be loud" and the dirty looks surely did not help her comfort level. Today at the last class we will ever be attending at Angie's Ms Julie was so abrasive that both my daughter and I left the class early in tears after she told me that my daughter was "done" for the day and we were told to leave the class. I have been to many classes for my daughters of various activities and have NEVER experienced this type of abrasive behavior from any coach or teacher. I understand there is varying levels of "seriousness" in studios but this was definitely not the experience I was hoping for my daughters first dance class for her or I.
Hopefully Ms Julie can do some reflection of her behavior and the expectations of two year olds. Perhaps she needs to move to older kids where she can find more satisfaction in her job. read more
