We have encountered more horrible experiences with Take 5 Dance Academy than better. My daughter was register for classes in December of 2013 after she turned 3, despite their supposed rule of a child needed to be a certain age by September 1st to be enrolled. After being bullied by her teacher, Ms.[redacted], my daughter was not promoted to the next level. It was explained to me, it was not a lack of her abilities but her immaturity, because she loved to chat too much, and that no student who wasn't going to be 4 by September 2014 was not to be promoted. Although this was not what I ended up finding out. After talking to various parents I found out their children would not be 4 by September 1st but were still being promoted to the next level. Despite this, I said nothing and continued classes giving the teacher the benefit of the doubt. After attempting to converse with my daughters teacher about her progress after each class, I finally withdrew my daughter from Take 5 after the teacher made a horrible face and only grunted to describe my baby's progress, when actually she had been improving. When writing the director a letter about all my concerns, although she did send a reply, she made no effort to resolve the situation. After some time, my daughter asked to return to Take 5 but just wanted a different teacher. After going through enrollment, which turned out to be a hassle, my daughter was enrolled with her favorite teacher Ms.[redacted] and was thrilled. Upon seeing [redacted] enter her class, Ms.[redacted] showed nothing but complete excitement, and hugged my daughter welcoming her in. My daughters first class was wonderful, her costume for the June recital was paid for, and she was excited. Then a couple of days later (yesterday) I received a call from the office of Take 5 explaining their was a mistake, my daughter was not welcome at the facility and we were being un-enrolled because of the email that I wrote earlier in the year. After asking to speak with the director, which I was not permitted to, I was very angry and unfortunately did not represent myself the way I would have wanted to. Needlessly to say after several calls to Take 5, the director never made an attempt to speak with my husband and I, and my daughter was exited from the program. We received an e-mail from an employee of the company stating, that a meeting would not resolve anything, and that the director's decision was final. Never did the director take the time to address the problem with my husband or myself personally. And although they say we've been refunded for the costs, I don't see anything yet, but I'll give it a couple of days.
The victim here is my daughter and no one at Take 5 took the time to think of her. At this time, she is completely devastated and doesn't understand why the facility does not want her. Regardless if they didn't like me, they could have talked to me and not done this to my daughter.
All I can say about the director is that she is beyond unprofessional.
