Any business that does things to outwardly show they don't care about their customers can't possibly earn more than 1 star. We sent our daughter here and though she enjoyed it both my wife and I were both a bit offended. First off, ,my wife as spent decades in the dance world both doing and teaching for several different studios all over metro Detroit. She noted several things that she felt were short-armed shortcuts and likely the result of us being enrolled in a non recital or competition class. This was taken as an insult as the class should be given the same effort, attention and professionalism as any other... I work in the electronic payments space, am certified and write questions for the industries sales certification test - specifically pertaining to pricing and rules. This business applies a surcharge to all cards for payment. This is a bush-league practice that ALL big box stores and real businesses don't do. First off, it's been LEGALLY banned in 10 states already and even where allowed by law, is NOT ALLOWED on ANY debit or pre-paid card - even if you use the card as "Credit". Visa publishes these rules on their site - since I'm not sure that Yelp will allow me to paste links here you'll have to simply Google search "visa surcharge rules" for a Q&A from their site that specifically says as much. You can also google search "dispute visa surcharge" for a page on their site where you can dispute any visa transaction on a debit or pre-paid card. you will be awarded your transaction back, the merchant will be contacted by visa, may be fined and can lead to them losing the privilege altogether.
The bottom line is that this merchant cares more about what they want than what's convenient for their customer. I will gladly drive farther or pay $5 more to go elsewhere. I'll go to one of the several other studios in the area that don't penalize me for paying how I want to pay or making us feel like our child isn't getting the attention they would have if they had signed up for a class the studio cares more about. read more
