The Legacy Dance Studio

This review is based off of personal experience with my daughter being enrolled in the 3-5 year old summer class. My rating is based off the fact that the studio did not work out for us for my daughter is a "high spirited" independent sweetheart who cannot sit still all of the time at this age. I enrolled my daughter with no experience in the dance community. She has started dancing on her own at home and expressed her desire to be a ballerina. When I heard of the opportunity here at Legacy(and with research) I thought it would be a good beginning and "assumed" that at this age level the lesson would be relaxed and more fun than leaning more toward "proper dance". This was proven wrong for my daughter didn't complete this program and here is why: 1) On the third lesson I had to accompany her into the dance room because she all of the sudden didn't want to go this is where "we" were told by the owner/instructor "X if you don't be quiet you will have to leave" my daughter was informed this while I was trying to convince her in a lower voice sitting in my lap that she should join her "friends" that they were having so much fun. So, in turn she was basically telling both of us that we should hush or leave. While in this room I found out that it was super quiet with the expectations that the 3-5 year olds should sit still and be quiet. I finally decided this is not a good fit for us and left. A week or two prior to my incident the owner/instructor told a mom in front of everyone in a stern voice, whose daughter was leaving and entering the dance room similar to the other girls but more, that she [the mom] was the problem and to step away from the glass doors. I am a rule follower so I bought the suggested attire from the local dance store. Some of the kids were not up to dance attire code but were allowed to stay. Basically, after spending $150ish I found out the hard way that this was not the studio for us. I should have outfitted my daughter in cute Target attire. And perhaps even be one of the "rule breakers" and allow her to wear a skirt. The description for the class, in my opinion, should say what personality fits best for this class so parents/caregivers can make a more informed decision and not loose money. Again I am new and didn't think I needed to ask what personality would be best for the class for it was for younger kids. To end on a high note, the studio is clean with a viewing area in the waiting room via TV and through 2 glass doors with a water fountain.
