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.

I have always been a music lover. So, I decided to finally get piano lessons…read more The owner, Tom, is so patient considering I have no musical background. I feel that I am learning a lot but I'm not overwhelmed. Tom has a wealth of knowledge but has a fun personality so I don't feel like I'm flailing. I can fit it into my budget as the cost is very reasonable. I look forward to seeing where this skill leads! I feel very comfortable having my lessons there. Although, if I couldn't make it in person I love the setup for virtual lessons. Great teacher, Great place!
