It's not just a hobby, it's a way of life for me. It's something evryone should try out for a period in their life, dance class. I've never found a musical theater dance class so I planned to take the Tuesday one with Alyssa if I recall her name correctly. We did a song from Princess and the Frog. I have a newfound inspiration I didn't even know it was a thing until Orlando's very own musical theater dance classes! It was awesome. Packed class. Front desk had good customer service.

Legal action is being considered against PEDC regarding the withholding of competition…read morescholarships, as well as a request for transparency into the required use of a group booking code tied to a mandatory cruise. The cruise price using the required group code was at or above the rates available to the public. This type of booking can result in "tour conductor credits." What were these credits used for? We and other parents would certainly like to know. When questioning PEDC we received no response. We did not see the studio owners much during the cruise and only saw them out of their cabin suite or at a private beach villa. Individuals seeking additional information or wishing to share relevant details may contact us via the pedclawsuit website. We felt there was toxic ownership and strongly recommend Ace Dance Project for a healthier environment for your dancer to learn and flourish. Google "red flags for dance studios" -- in our opinion, PEDC checks nearly every box. The teachers mean well, but we found ownership to be extremely difficult to work with. Scholarships earned through entries paid for by dancers were withheld. In the words of Jim Hollborn, they had to "stop the bleeding." Even that was not enough, and a significant portion of their competitive team left to find studios who appreciate and respect them.

PEDC "MAYBE YOU SHOULD BE A MORE INVOLVED FATHER" This is…read morewhat was told to my husband when we were trying to find out information on their spring show. I'll give some background. My husband works at home, at the time I didn't. I would leave the house at 6 am and get home around 7 pm. My husband gets the kids up and ready for school, takes them to school and picks them up from school. He would also take each of the two kids back and forth to different events and practice sessions they have, often on the same night. On off days, I car pool as well. It's how our family functions, my husband does more than most people in general! Neither of us ever sit in the waiting room watching the 1980's quality TV with screens so small you can't tell which child is your own while other kids run amuck. I received a text that the cheer class didn't have class the Thursday prior to recital. I called PEDC to see if our daughters other class was cancelled as well. The person answering the phone said it's on the schedule, it should be going. I think I'm talking to the front desk. I ask her to check, at the time I'd started a new job and couldn't just leave to take my daughter if there was no class. She said she'd check. Came back, she didn't know. I called back later, thinking the front person should have a break in between classes and should have been able to find out. She still didn't know. My husband then calls. We keep getting the run around, we don't understand how the front desk has no idea. She keeps saying it's on the schedule, class is on. Finally, the owners husband returns my husbands message. He ask the question for clarification. This "person" was such a major jerk. Said he was far to busy to be answering out questions and "Maybe you should be a more involved father" and you would have known the answer. We find out at this point the person answering the phone was an answering service. Had she identified herself as such, the conversation would have been much different, not to mention a big clue, that yes, both classes were not happening since no one was at the school. The husband proceeded to barat my husband further and ended up telling him to not come to the recital. Other issues with the school. The one and only time we ever had one of the instructors talk to either of us, as we would go in to pick her up and wait the last few minutes of the class, was when Sarah came out and basically yelled at my husband that my daughter needed to be in a different outfit. No, hello are you X dad, I'm Sarah her instructor... Just full on nasty "She needs to be wearing a leotard". Our daughter was a student for over a year. We did multiple camps the first year and had her signed up for three camps just after the recital. All of which we immediately cancelled and they were refunded. The environment was unfriendly. We are not "dance mom's" nor do we want to be and unless you are and want to full on go all out to do the dance company, you are a no body and they treat you that way! The funny thing is, watching the progress of my daughter, the things that she improved upon and she improved on them by leaps and bounds where the things she was learning from YouTube that they weren't even teaching in her class. What a waste of money that place turned out to be. So if you want to spend a ton of money and be treated like crap and then told to be a more involved parent... I'd recommend this crap show of a school. If you want to be treated like the good human you are, run away! I'd give negative stars if I could. Also, I had many people, after posting my story, reach out to me and tell me they had similar experiences here. So, it wasn't just our "uninvolved" selves! Thanks for making my husband and myself so upset that he absolutely refused to go to the recital because he didn't want to see "the husband" (because I'm not calling him here what we really call him). The guy that goes all out for his kids didn't get to see his daughter perform because of some power hungry jerk that couldn't answer a question.

Many studio owners even commented that the workshops at the Dance Collective were superior to those at the theme parks (which cost them quite a bit more).

Furthermore, many of you left garbage including leftover food and half filled drinks in the auditorium!! I'm hoping tomorrow is a better day. Well back here today and the nasty parents are here as well! The problem is they are sooooo loud that you can't enjoy the performances.

I'd be careful with this studio…read more... They talk a lot of hype about their programs and that their faculty is the most "wanted faculty" in the industry. When in reality, their faculty isn't even remotely involved in the industry nor do they teach for any known or established studios or companies. The programs are not at par with the other programs at the top dance studios. A big reason for that is their lack of willingness to change with the times and branch out. If you want your child to be a good dancer, sure, take them here, but if you want your child to be an incredible and successful dancer in the dance industry, take them somewhere else that is more up to date with how to teach and promote their students. As for the director, she "preaches" the word of God, but over the recent years, the studio has lost a huge chunk of their really good dancers. They all went to other studios because of drama at the studio or even because some felt the studio wasn't "practicing what they preached." All I have to say with this studio is, be careful.
