You would like to see your child bullied Unless your child is a favorite, she/he will receive deficient instruction and no attention. My dancer is an accepted student at an arts high school, specifically in the dance program, and she is a scholarship intensive winner. She has only achieved this by attending a different dance school while still taking classes at Visions. When she started ballet and tap at a different dance school (she was waitlisted for ballet despite that she has been dancing at Visions for two years), the instructors at her new school pulled me aside to show me what kind of work was needed to fix her technique. Even time that should have been devoted to developing my dancer's contemporary and modern technique through the teaching and development of choreography for her--her competition solo private lessons--was so squandered that when I submitted a video of her performance to a respected intensive conservatory, they didn't even bother to invite her to audition for a lower level intensive, she was straight to the "waitlist." I then paid another choreographer/instructor for choreography and multiple private lessons to teach it, and the live performance of that piece immediately garnered my daughter admittance to and praise from pre-professional programs. Alongside the obvious lack of interest in technique is a laissez faire attitude towards bullying, and clear lack of appropriateness. "Favorite" dancers can speak badly about and bully other dancers, and there are no consequences. Some of these favorites bullied several dancers to the point that they left the studio entirely, despite being on the competition team. Reinforcing the status of the favorites are class and company placements, which are based on instructor whim or "tracking," seemingly derived from the amount of money a parent can spend at the school, and not dedication or class attendance. Some children are "tracked" to be held back from advanced classes or pointe, while favorites are fast-tracked, despite that their classroom attendance is spottier and their in-class time is spent on "messing around." Worse yet is treating a clique of children as one dancer, placing them in classes and dance company and on stage as though they all shared similar mastery, and treating their relationships as though it were a standard criterion for placement. Placing a group of children together in a Senior company despite that they are all middle school children and moving older children to dance with elementary schoolers because the middle school clique "dances well together" seems out of place in a so-called pre-professional dance company setting, as professional dancers rarely get to choose their stage mates. Overall I do not recommend this dance school. We enrolled there because it was very close to our home, but frankly I wish I had just taken some friends' recommendations and gone elsewhere in the beginning.
