As a former LIM student and company member, I do not recommend sending your child to Lyrics In Motion. Putting the open wires coming out of walls, broken promises, and lack of dedication to time management aside, the owner is the problem. As a former company member, I got a first hand look at the abusive ways of Hilarie, and I can tell you that there are many other studios in the area that would be more than glad to have your business and WON'T take advantage of you. Almost everyday I spent in the studio, I, along with my teammates and classmates, were surrounded by toxic behavior coming from Hilarie herself. Whether it was talking bad about her staff, her current and former students, and the parents infront of us children, it was always negative. If you thought something was private, it was most definitely not. We were gaslighted, manipulated, and love bombed into putting the negative done too us aside. Us children were walked out on during class, talked bad about to other students and staff, and manipulated to believe this behavior was okay. She discussed financial situations of families infront of students, and no matter how much proof you had to show your truth, it's denied by Hilarie to had never happened. The sentence, "I've done so much for you all" was thrown around CONSTANTLY in order to guilt and manipulate us, as well as many other lines and lies to make us feel bad. Non-company parents were talked badly about, as well as your children. ex-LIM students and families were talked badly about as well. We were a great group of kids, who had parents that lent her money, got her a performance in Disney, and let her sleep in their bed during nationals WITHOUT paying. WE did so much for HER. All of what I'm describing is classified as narcissistic abuse, and we are all currently dealing with the effects of suffering through it, some dealing with it for many years. Although I cannot list every single thing done to us and the whole LIM community by this woman, I hope this comes across as a warning to all looking for a dance studio, that this is not the place. If you want more in-detail information about the things that went on behind closed door and Lyrics In Motion, please reach out to me. I, as well as many others, will give you the REAL TRUTH of what happens when you drop your children off at dance class. But please, believe the one star reviews, as they are the TRUTH. read more
