They use a space inside the C & C Ballet Academy to offer their lessons.

Once inside, the parking is large and easy to find a spot even on the busy days.

We have been customers of this studio for a little over a year and a half and have paid more than…read more$5,800 in tuition, equipment, and fees for some pretty basic children's training. Overall, we have supported the studio and program in good faith for that time period. A little over a year ago, our 9-year-old daughter was encouraged by the studio to move into "Black Belt" training, we were told it was the right next step for her development. What was not made clear to me was that this involved a three-year financial contract. In hindsight, that three-year financial commitment for a young child's extra curricular now feels manipulative and financially driven rather than child-centered. The contract identifies our minor child as the "buyer." I did not sign the agreement, nor was I aware that a three-year contractual obligation had been entered into on her behalf, despite sharing joint legal custody and joint decision-making authority with her father. I understood this to be a recommended commitment to training - not a binding long-term contract. When our daughter's schedule changed and she could no longer meet the time commitment, I requested cancellation. I expected maybe a standard extra month payment, the typical 30 day notice that most memberships of this nature would ask for when a cancellation is requested, but I was informed that a 25% penalty on the full contract amount (the FULL amount - not the remaining amount) would apply, resulting in a fee of over $1700 to cancel, and that the agreement was fully binding. After multiple written attempts to resolve the issue professionally, responses were delayed and inflexible. I attempted to address this privately before leaving a review. Notably, the contract (that I never signed, initialed, or saw) also contains language attempting to restrict negative online reviews, a practice that federal law prohibits when it comes to honest consumer feedback. Things that are objectively more serious than fourth-grade karate that do not require a three-year contract (of ADULTS): a post-employment non-compete, a Gold's Gym membership in the mid 2000s, a whole house rental agreement, a literal marriage, and virtually any MLM subscription - just to name a few, all of which are generally much easier to unwind. I value commitment. But I also value giving my child the opportunity to explore different interests as she grows. A year and a half in one activity is not casual and flippant for a nine-year-old, neither is a $5800 "investment" into basic training, it was an honest effort and we are ready to move on, but refuse to pay an absurd cancellation fee of over $1700. Locking a child into a multi-year obligation is intense and is something parents should fully understand before enrolling their children in this studio.

I came here for a one-day women's self-defense seminar with 2 friends and we all ended up signing…read moreup for the 4-week course with Kaelie. The seminar was informative and the main teacher was very knowledgeable but it was pretty clearly a dude that picked what we'd learn that day. It focused a lot more on getting mugged or attacked with a weapon than on protecting yourself against domestic or sexual abuse which, unfortunately, is a lot more likely in a woman's life. So, when we heard that the 4-week class would be focusing more on that aspect we were pretty much sold. The course was $75 for 8 hours and included MMA gloves and a self defense keychain/weapon thing that we got at the end. Honestly, that deal is amazing. In the 5 weeks I attended classes there I never felt upsold or talked down to for being a terribly out of shape beginner (which I was deffo worried about,) and they were awesome about working with us when scheduling conflicts came up. I feel like I learned a lot; it was all hands on practice and experience while explaining how and why that move works, things to look out for (how to inflict maximum damage without hurting yourself, com mon variations, etc) so even after such a short class I already feel much more confident in my skills. Kaelie was a great teacher, very knowledgeable and was very patient with us novices, she answered all our questions, even the really stupid ones and gave us a lot of great tips for practicing at home. The only regular adults only class they offer is a women's kickboxing class on weekday mornings but none after normal business hours so those of us that work, are out of luck. It's a real shame because I liked my class there so much that even though it's all the way in Saratoga Springs, I was willing to make the trip for more.
