Sondance Christian Dance School - The Heart of Christmas: Cherubs

Sondance Christian Dance School

(4 reviews)

Ballet isn't just for girls. It teaches little boys and…read moregirls structure, discipline and it enhances their memory. I am grateful for Jolynda taking in my son and having him join the cherubs this year. The family can't stop talking about his little performance at the recital although he didn't really do a lot of things. I love the Christian aspect of this dance studio. Every time I put on his dance shoes, he knows he is going to his little dance class. It's amazing how much he has opened up from being a shy boy to an outgoing prince! Thank you to all the teachers and of course Jolynda.

We tried out Sondance last spring for my 6 year old daughter. Everything seemed fine at first, but…read moreI started seeing red flags as soon as I started filling out the paper work. On multiple pages, they kept saying things like, "if you are offended, take it to God in prayer first before coming to management." Okaaaaay... Clearly they've had issues with parents in the past. My daughter's teacher was really sweet, and she enjoyed going to practice each week. About 8 weeks before the recital, I realized that we were going to be out of town for the dress rehearsal for the recital (which are mandatory), but we would be back for the recital itself. It was definitely a mistake on my part, but I thought we had enough advanced notice to inform them, and I knew that my daughter we be able to attend all other rehearsals. I had already purchased a $50 costume, and we had been present and on time to all previous practices, so I took my concerns to the staff. The secretary empathized with me and felt like the issue could be resolved, and suggested I talk to the owner, Jolynda. Once I explained the situation to her, she coldly dismissed me and bluntly said that my 6 year old could not participate in the recital (because she would miss ONE dress rehearsal). Not only was she curt in her response, she then proceeded to express her dissatisfaction in my mistake, and how it was going to mess up the whole dance, now that my daughter wouldn't be performing. "You really should've told us sooner" (at this point, we were 6 weeks away from the recital....). For claiming to be a "christian" dance company, they certainly don't show it. My 6 year old couldn't be in the recital from one missed rehearsal? Unreasonable, but fine. I get it. Rules are rules. Her delivery was just plain awful though. The most un-Christlike I have been treated in a long time. Oh, and the cherry on top? She has a "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" posted on her door.... Sounds Christlike, doesn't it? I should've trusted my instincts from the get-go when filling out the paper work that was PLASTERED in policies about praying before being offended.
