    My husband and I came to play pickle and had a poor experience and would reccomend others not to go…read moreunfortunately. We found an empty court and began a simple singles game--nothing disruptive, just enjoying the space that was clearly available. The courts are first come first serve per the Thornton Rec Center Employees and website. Moments later, an older woman came over and rudely told us that singles play wasn't allowed and we needed to play doubles. Not only was her tone unnecessarily harsh, but she insisted it was a "rule," despite there being no signage or clear policy anywhere stating that singles games were prohibited. If there is an empty court, people should be able to play how they want. The courts are supposed to be first come, first serve, but it seems like a group of older regulars have taken it upon themselves to control who plays, how, and when. It felt more like we were intruding on their private club than participating in a community activity at a public facility. We're all for shared use and following actual posted rules, but this kind of gatekeeping is exactly what drives new players and younger participants away. It was a really disappointing and unwelcoming experience. They need to make it so these courts are reserved. Otherwise the other facilities are great! There is tennis courts, bocce ball , a splash pad, horseshoe pits and great walking paths.

    I've waited a few months to post a review on this absolutely horrible studio, mostly because the…read moreemotional pain the owner caused my daughter and family has taken some time for us to process. If I could give negative stars, I would. In April this year, my 11 yr old daughter was kicked out of the studio without notice or reason right in the midst of competition season and only weeks before Spring recital. My daughter had been dancing at this studio every Saturday for close to 7 years and had built what she thought was a trusting bond with the owner. She participated in numerous recitals and competitions. Up until early this year, the studio was adequate and provided my daughter with a place to learn basic skills and be part of something we thought was positive for her. Things began to change when the politics of the "dance moms" and their misbehaved children took over. I wasn't happy with the negative environment and lack of control the owner displayed over keeping these kids in line but bit my tongue for the sake of friendships my daughter felt she had built. The owner, Michelle, has zero ability to maintain control of her studio and children that attend. After the first competition this year, where my daughter stood up for another child being picked on, the owner manipulated us into bringing her costume to the studio "for cleaning" before the next event. She never once mentioned there were any problems with my daughter or anything of that nature...EVER. The following we day we received a cold hearted email letting us know that after much thought that my daughter was no longer welcome there effective immediately. If there had been a problem with my daughters behavior then why on earth would this person who we had spent 7 years with not tell the parents immediately? I can only speculate the catty dance moms gave her an ultimatum to let my daughter go or they wouldn't bring their kids back all because she didn't put up with those kids picking on another girl. Truth be told, these moms paid more than us as their children spent more hours at the studio, so I think this was all politics.who knows though as we were never given any reasons. The complete lack of integrity, morals, and values the owner chose to display and refusal to give us a reason or respond in any fashion to our attempts to reach out after this is unacceptable on every level. I would encourage anyone interested in attending this studio to really consider if you want your child to potentially go through the emotional damage that my daughter did. This is not the type of place that children should be exposed to and the owner most certainly does not deserve to be in business when she lacks any ethics. We have since found a studio that is run effectively and creates a place of love and value for the children. Don't trust facebook reviews on this one. The owner has managed to have many negative reviews removed and you will not get an accurate depiction of what this place is about. She will block anyone from being able to post a review on FB after her bad business practices.

Prior to the abrupt decision to fire an amazing coach mid- season, 2 weeks before state, my son would come home saying the owners are so mean to the boys. Boys would get in trouble for eating and wearing shoes in the gym while the girls would not get in trouble. The girls would steal mats without asking and run across the vault runway while they were training, to name a few. But, somehow the boys were always at fault. The coaches produced the best boys team in the state over the last couple years and they were never recognized. My son says the trophies and banners they won were put in a corner to collect dust And not showcased. Following the dismissal of the boys head coach and the loss of the other who didn't agree, the high level athletes were not given a safe transition to train there nor did they participate in finding a safe alternative elsewhere. This has forced some to quit and others scrambling to find a place to train til the end of season at the least. The owners did not want to discuss what had happened nor did they apologize for the emotional harm they have caused to my child and our family nor the 20+ others that trusted the gym to advocate for the kids. i have never interacted with the owners for our short time there. I was rarely spectating either. However when i went to pick up my son's belongings, I was being harassed for trespassing and that they were going to call the cops. All I wanted was what belonged to my son, but they threw what was in my Sons locker and all the others boys belongings in a box. It's pretty difficult to distinguish who's was what. Frustrated I left with nothing, worried I'd be accused of stealing Or worse. I would avoid this gym at all cost. It is a dangerous place for a high risk sport Without the appropriate skilled coaching required, no exceptions. There are so many other options in the area!!! Safety and Professionalism comes 1st, our kids deserve it!

    My granddaughter has been participating at Mile High Karate since September. She was first…read moreintroduced at school, where classes where held at her school. She had an interest after 4 weeks of joining the classes at the Westminster office. When she began attending at the Westminster office is when I had an opportunity to go and watch her classes and see the program they have first hand. I was impressed. Its just not about Karate, its about other life skills she is learning. Yes, sir - Yes, Mam is used at all times in the class and although my daughter and her husband are a bit uncomfortable with their daughter calling them with this respect, I do not. Respect is missing in our culture, and the Martial Arts has a foundation based on respect. Learning about how to handle situations with strangers and how to protect yourself with your words was powerful learning for her and the other students. I told my Daughter I would pay for her training and when you look at the rate vs. the number of hours of training available it was very competitive to what Mom pays for her dancing. After several months, my granddaughter made the decision she wanted to pursue becoming a Black Belt. A packet of information was provided that talked about the committment needed over the next 4 to 6 years for her to obtain it. Now she is only 6 1/2 years old, but she is already is a high achiever in school, with Dancing and now with Karate. The owner and his wife, along with their staff, all who began Karate at Mile High at a younger age are good people. They take interest in the students and they make it fun. This past weekend was a special event of Saturday. A special class for the entire school was held where the students learned how to break boards! The first hour and half was learning how to visualize their goal, and practicing on cushioned hand pads held between two concrete blocks. By the end of the Special Event my granddaughter broke 3 boards as did many of the other students by themselves. And even those who were not able to on their own, got assistance from the instructions, who cradled their hands and "helped" them break the boards. The looks on kids faces even younger than my daughter, with now holding two boards where there was once one, was powerful. I have two sons who were in the Scouting program and both achieved and are Eagle Scouts. I see similarities in Scouting with the program at Mile High Karate. Character development was just as important in Scouting as was the camping and other activities. Same in Mile High Karate program. Just like Scouting, Karate is not for every kid's parents. Same held true in Scouting where some parents saw a commitment to go camping every month as a deal breaker. But the benefits in both program for those who stay with it can be life changing and can help mold them for later in life. I am grateful my granddaughter is in this program. She loves it and she likes the friends she has met.

    What a great place for the kids. I love the instructors here they are all wonderful…read more Thanks to all at mile high karate for making my girl better in many ways. I recommend anyone have their children learn karate here.

I am already able to try out more advanced techniques, and am blown away by my progress in such little time. Rex is incredibly talented and knows both the nuts and bolts of actual mixing and also the beat and blending theory that goes along with it. Incredible one on one instruction, and easily worth the price. Discosapien Academy makes DJing extremely accessible, so if you are even remotely interested in learning some mixing, or are an advanced DJ, I would absolutely recommend this Academy!

So I did what every supportive parent does; I Goggled everything from "kids raves to DJ lessons" and only came up with a few small selection of contacts for the Denver area. The weeks of searching was very disappointing, as I tried to make multiple attempts at calling (and even trying to stop by some places during their open business hours), not a single place was even interested in talking to me when I said that I have a very interested 11 year old that wants to learn DJ'ing and music production. This was until I called and talked to Rex with Discosapien Academy. First - Rex actually answered the phone and took the time to talk to me; while he listened to all of ramblings about my son and his music interests. Rex was genuinely excited about wanting us to come and meet with him; so that we could get a feel for what his lessons could offer. When meeting with Rex and seeing my sons reaction to this whole new world; I knew we were in the right place. It's now been almost 4 months, and my son has completely stepped up his game. Rex has taken my sons musical interests to a whole new level; where he talks about music production and how the different parts of a song need to be properly arranged to sound proper with the different pitch and sound adjustment; it's pretty mind blowing to here all of this from a now 12 year old. Rex is so patient and very calm in his teaching style. I love just sitting and listening from the outside hearing how Rex teaches and explains the lessons; while applying a hands on learning technique which is followed up by such positive encouragement. My son leaves every lesson even more excited and passionate about creating his own music and sound. I know this was a lengthy review; but as a parent that came into this new musical world with absolutely no idea where to turn; I hope that this review and post will offer other parents a quicker resource for you and your child. If you want to ever call and talk more about this review; I am happy to elaborate more. So I will let Rex know that he can surely share my contact information. Good luck! Bobby S.
