I think it is heinous that this dance studio thinks it is OK for my 6-year old's dance performance to be at 10:05pm. All the family in town (including her younger brother who has begun to meltdown) was too exhausted to even enjoy it.

I am appalled at how unconcerned Ann and LeighAnn were that I asked to have a copy of our dance written down for my 5 year old so we could practice it at home prior to the recital. Yes, she is only 5, but they were so nonchalant about the fact that she doesn't know the dance that I was taken by surprise. This is my daughter's moment to shine, not be embarrassed in front of all of her family and friends. You would think that this would also be their objective - Help every dancer do their best at the recital. What a great way to turn off a small child to dancing, especially when she loves it so much. I would not, under any circumstance, recommend Ann's Studio to anyone.

A shining star in north Alabama. Philanthropists Allan and Debra Jenkins had a vision to transform…read morea boarded up building in a neglected part of town into a performing arts center to rejuvenate the area. They used their own time, energy and finances to renovate the building and opened to the public in 2007. After several years, Mrs. Jenkins, through a series of occurrences, realized that local children and adults with special needs can rarely, if ever, take performance art classes. My daughter, for example, tried a local performance art studio but didn't fit in because she wasn't intellectually on par with the others. The Jenkins' ended up starting a day program for adults with special needs and an after school program for children with special needs. My daughter enjoys it so much that her acting classes are the highlight of her week. The program is 5 stars -- the participants all love it and there's simply nothing else like it around. Special needs kids and adults have such pure hearts and are accepting of one another as they are. If only the rest of the world can be that way! The productions are top-notch and the facility itself superb, complete with a 300-seat theater and state-of-the-art technology, such as closed captioning above the stage. Shows are open to the public, too; it's not just for participants' family and friends. In addition to the special needs productions, they have special concerts and events throughout the year... even Billy Bob Thornton, who is a supporter of Merrimack.
