We discipline our child accordingly and don't take any bs so you can throw that notion out the door. When my wife approached management about the "incident" which transpired, that you actually don't really know what transpired because you aren't allowed to watch your child, it was responded with defense to the fullest. We know other children in the class that were made uncomfortable by the teacher aka prior "director" so the defense of management is rather watered down. Don't waste your money in this place.

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.

It is a philosophy and spiritual practice, not an exercise technique. = We met up with a group of friends to try the new cafe, Food4All, and ended up getting an in-depth tour from the ashram's founder. An ashram (in case you don't know) is a residential facility for spiritual learning. This one recently opened in the former BCIU buildings on this land, and oh how lucky the neighborhood is to have this foundation move in. They are making the building sustainable, practice zero-waste techniques, and are surrounding the buildings with organic farms. The ashram moved to Berks from Toms River NJ and is open to all, for dining, classes, internships, volunteering, and training, even an advanced certification in yoga therapy. YT can be applied to any workplace to help both the employees and leaders as well as the clients/patiehnts/customers. What a good idea for staff training. The cafe is all-organic and vegetarian, gluten-free, soy-free, mostly vegan actually. We had quiche, pancakes, salad, roasted veggies, and breads in a lovely bright dining area with lots of chai tea (made with coconut milk) and light. There are some innovative yoga classes here, for example, using swings, but they make it all sound welcoming to beginners. What a glorious use of two old school buildings which have been transformed into an open, bright, spacious retreat with many uses.

All in all a great experience, and if you're looking for something new to do, or something to do while you get drunk with your friends, you should ABSOLUTELY check it out. My suggestions on improvements would be: Make it more obvious or even just a sign on where to put jackets/purses as we didn't notice the tiny hooks under the tables until we were almost done our 1 hour round. I also thing rounds should be 1 An hour and a half or so because we did feel kind of rushed and didn't want to stop long for chit chat or discussing each others performance. And considering is such a social atmosphere thats kind of a bummer. I would absolutely look into a PoS system for the tables for score tracking and drink/food ordering. Along with touch screen projectors. I know they exist not sure how accurate they'd be with axes. But I'm sure someone has done it. And considering how quickly this activity is growing the only way it's going to stay alive is to innovate and make simple quality of life improvements. Its the little attention to details that end up staying in peoples minds and making them want to come back. And lastly MORE ADVERTISING! Every person I told about our weekend plans had no idea you existed. Add pictures to your Apple Maps/Google Maps location.
