Now as it transitions from Mass Motion Dance North to Bosoma School of Dance, and is changing locations to Hamilton, which is not so close, I am more than happy to bring my daughter to the new location. I would follow Katherine almost anywhere. She creates a warm and nurturing atmosphere for the dancers, and the technique and choreography is unlike any we have seen at any other studio. If you have the opportunity, bring your kids in for a trial lesson, you won't be disappointed.

Owner/ Producer BILL HANNEY & Director KEVIN HILL, kept this production with a SEE/SAW Balance of Humor, Hope and Obvious Sadness. These 12 Cast Members which played multiple characters could not have made it anymore brilliant! Such as Claude/Played by David BENOIT - Welcome to the Rock! Who I watched him years ago at the Park Plaza in Boston in Forbidden Broadway, Forever Plain! Truly talented in my eyes! Oz & Others/ Played by Kyle Nicholas ANDERSON kept my attention through out the show with his accents and characters!

I called her and she asked for more services, more gear, etc. and I told her NO PROBLEM but the quote will have to be adjusted. That's when she pulled out the NON PROFIT card and said I should be doing everything we agreed on PLUS extra services for the same amount, if not less, because they're a non profit. She used the kids she teaches as an excuse to pay a contractor less. Disgusting. Stay away. The owner then went out of her way to leave me a negative review, which impacts my business and me making a living. We never worked together but she felt it necessary to leave a negative, dishonest review as if we worked together. Shameful behavior. I can't imagine what disgusting practices she implements when running her business and working with kids.

The list of unreasonable requirements just added up over the years and worn me out: * Being reminded every week, that payment is due on the first of the month, when you personal never missed a payment. * The recital ticket distribution method leads to grown adults standing wee hours of an cold April morning for little girls and boys dance recitals ( Red sox tickets I could understand, dance recitals... just a tad bit silly). * Lessons during April vacation * The recitals are two towns(15miles) away from the studio. * Recital is a three day commitment (WThF) for Memorial Day weekend. Probably 4 days, if you wanted your 10 minute last lesson, but that was just to silly to consider. The kids were great. They tried really hard and seemed to be having fun during their classes. The instructions was uneven. Some teachers very good, some not so good. But I bet that is everywhere. The classes helpers were also great, on time and kind to the other children After looking around for more a reasonable schedule and modern attitudes toward family workloads, I found that the costumes look just as nice, the kids try just as hard( and might even smile a little more), and the dance routines are "fresher" at other studios which are just a close.
