I'm not a mom who is looking to get her kid into hard-core, serious, competitive dance (although they have the trophies to back that up, if that is what you're looking for). I'm just a mom who wanted a social environment for her toddler who loves music, and loves dancing around the house. We did the little 6-week summer classes, and we loved it. We do not have a lot of disposable income. At all. So anything I sign my kid up for, I have to really consider. There's a lot of things we can't afford, but re-enrolling for fall classes wasn't even a question. It may sound silly to say after just 6 classes, but this place already feels like home. Warm and inviting doesn't even begin to cover it. My daughter loves it. I love it. I had no idea I'd have such strong feelings about a dance company after 6 weeks, but here we are.

The staff and volunteers are so nice. My daughter enjoys her instructor, Ms Missy. They prorate your tuition if you get in after they've begun. You can even try a class to see if you like it before you enroll. They discourage parents hanging around and potentially distracting the class (with younger kids) but our night class has been great thus far. Since it's dark out, the kids can't really see the parents outside. They start my daughter's class off with tap shoes and then change over to ballet on the latter part of the class. Price is about par with other places around town but we chose it based on longevity and experience.

Once Covid happened our daughter participated in the online class videos and chats with her dance class. Around June, the studio decided to hold in person classes and we were hesitant. We had a brand new baby at home, so we decided our daughter would not go back for the season, therefore wouldn't be participating in recital. We made this tough choice because we didn't feel comfortable with taking the risk of exposure with a 2 month old. We informed MelRoes of our decision and we're told they would contact us to pick up recital items that we paid for once they came in. However, this DID NOT HAPPEN!!! After each attempt to collect the 3 recital costumes, tights and accessories I purchased I was given excuse after excuse as to why I could not get the items I purchased. Week after week I would see social media posts about costumes, recital costumes on friends of ours still in dance, posts about recital pictures etc. When I would reach out, ANOTHER excuse that my child's costumes weren't ready. Recital has since come and gone, STILL NO COSTUMES, TIGHTS, or ACCESSORIES. Recently posts were made on social media that brand new costumes were donated to charity and I wonder, "were those my child's?" I have been asking for what I purchased for OVER 5 MONTHS, still no costumes and what's worse, now, there is no response to my requests to make this right and give me what I purchased. The most disheartening part of this is my daughter had to suffer, she deserves her dance costumes, even though our family decided to end our 2020 dance season early due to a PANDEMIC, she should not be punished!! Moral of the review, think long and hard before sending your child to a studio that refuses to right their wrongs.

I recently saw an ad for the upcoming performance of Don Quixote and purchased two tickets for $235.00. These were in an upper level of the theater, not front row center of the Orchestra section. When I received the tickets, I was shocked to see the face value of the tickets as $25.00 each. Not only did I pay $185.00 more, getting the tickets from this third party person was a complicated process. My advice would be to only buy tickets directly from the ballet company. Also, I think the practice of selling tickets to people who will resell them at way more than face value should be stopped. I would liken this to scalping, which I thought was illegal. M. Hurd 3/19/25
