Spotlight dance company constantly tolerated bullying and harassment. As a victim, I endured a year of bullying on the level four team. As professionals, you'd think the "owner" would step up and assert her authority to say "no this is wrong" but that simply never happened. Many acts of bullying would be dismissed because the person doing the bullying was respected amongst many. I'm not sure why any sane person would look up to someone who manipulated an entire studio to turn on one girl for no reason, but I digress. After I left the studio, the company took it upon themselves to block my personal account on all of their social media pages. How is a "professional" studio going to block a minor on social media for no reason at all? In addition, they revoked my rights to perform at the Las Vegas competition because I had box braids on. (when I was still a member at the studio.) Mind you, judges do NOT deduct points for "concision" UNLESS the dancers' hairstyle is a distraction. At the competition, hundreds of black girls wore their hair in a bun even though they had box braids in. If this was such a "problem" then wouldn't you think that studios who qualified to dance at the FINAL COMPETITION would know these "strict rules?" But that's the thing.. the rules don't exist.. Because what matters... is that you have the style: a bun. In which case, I did have. The studio director told me to remove my box braids and I will be able to perform. To think that a studio in a predominantly black area would know that to remove box braids in 1 hour is impossible..guess not. The director herself allowed the bully to speak in front of my mom and I, claiming she told us (the bully) that box braids weren't allowed "2 weeks before competition." This is simply false. Who are you (a student at the dance company) going to talk to a grown adult like you're management? You're not, you're a minor who should have never gotten the chance to exhibit such authoritative behavior when you're a child. But once again, the director let the bully yell in our faces and didn't say a word. The amount of misinformation the bully fed to the entire studio is beyond me. Wasting the money to fly to Las Vegas, book a hotel, and eventually not get to dance for unjustifiable reasons is ridiculous. Did I also mention the girls would make group chats and harass me? The studio director didn't care about the wellbeing of the victims the bully harassed. If you're thinking of joining this studio, just know that it tolerates bullying, harassment, and micro-aggressions. I did leave a review a few years back, but they harassed me via text because I didn't use my real name. Be weary about joining this studio. Free will is very limited and you'll most likely be manipulated. The studio despises people who speak up against such heinous acts. I guess that's why they didn't like me: I spoke up against the bullying rhetoric. Save your money and time and look for another studio in the Killeen area, thank you read more
