Completely disagree with these posts. I had 2 daughters dance at this studio for over 8 years. My youngest daughter was classified as disabled, had an IEP, received speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy every day at school. She could not "keep the beat" in her dance classes. She performed in the group recitals each year in musical theatre and tap and the teachers worked with her to put her on a special count so it was not quite a obvious to the audience, but my daughter still "did her own thing" spontaneously from time to time with Lenny sitting in the front row and he never minded. Also, if anyone had a difficult time with payment arrangements, he was always there, if anyone had a problem of any sort, he was approachable. He also has been known to help a few who could not afford tuition. If he ever made a mistake, he always admitted it and apologized. He always had a sincere heart. The feedback from the children on competition teams was that he was always kind and even when at competitions was never concerned about "the win". The children always came first, their happiness, and enjoyment for dance. As a parent of a special education child, I would never expect if my child required extra attention that would impede upon others in a "private" institution that others pay for, to impose on them. I would never expect them to accommodate my child if it would take away from the experience of what others are trying to accomplish. Many young dance students are seeking to progress to competition level and if my child were in need of more of the teacher's attention, then that is a venue for one-on-one lessons in the way of private lessons. I am an advocate for all those that can not speak for themselves, but I also would never impose on others in a private setting. Unless those of you speaking know this man on a personal level, please refrain from the vulgar comments. It is terribly stressful and sad at times to have a child who is excluded from things due to a disability, I get it...but we all have disabilities in one way or another. No one is perfect. Each has their own special gifts to offer, including this little girl from this post. read more
