Reflections Dance Center

Small dance studio where you feel like a part of a family. I've read one review where the dancer complained about the studio and losing friends. This dancer was angry because SHE didn't place at competitions. She was suspended from the studio for unprofessionalism by both her and her mother. She was jealous that other dancers placed higher than her which was due to her just doing the bare minimum and not pushing herself in difficulty. She lost her friends at the studio due to her and her mother's antics at competitions where she and her mother felt she deserved to place higher when other dancers were clearly better. She should have taken her hateful review to the competition judges instead of being petty toward the studio.

Toxic studio. I used to be a dancer here for 3 about to be 4 years. This studio was very welcoming at first, but it was obvious there was favoritism to dancers that have been there since a younger age. I loved it, but the beggining of this season started off rough with tons of drama. I was constantly being singled out, talked about by the TEACHERS, and always put at blame for any drama that had nothing to do with me. In december, an instucter was be littling me saying careless things about my character because of a hairpiece. My parents brought the situation to light after class, and the owner denied everything and said it was my fault for "misinterpreting the teacher". We were given the option to leave because the owner was "at a loss" at how to help rectify the situation. Fast foward to competitions. At rehersals dancers were yelled at for not taking the rehersal seriously and "not looking happy enough". When we were given a correction more than once, immediately yelled at. Dancers are constantly being yelled at for small mistakes, talking, or not acting like other studios. Dancers have also been put at fault for not winning due to "laziness" and "slacking off". Dancers have come to me to express their feeling because we were very close. As a result of this, I was not allowed to talk during breaks in class and was constantly being separated from everyone else. Meanwhile, the dancers that had been at the studio longer were allowed to hit each other, talk, and be disrespectful without any conseqences. This studio is extremely unprofessional. I greatly feel bad for the dancers that have experienced the same as me. One of the instructers even told me to eat more because I was "too skinny". Body shaming should not be tolerated in a dance studio esspecially when they highly advise to keep everything positive. If your child wants to be on a dance competition team, please direct them otherwise. DO NOT let the cheap rates fool you. To add, this studio completly ruined my contact with any of my friends or the people I was close too. I almost feel like i was shunned away slowly. The teachers constantly wanting me gone really hurt me. I felt as if I was unwanted and unapreciated. Because of this horrible experience, I have moved on to a new studio that does not disrespect children. I love my new studio, and I shouldve left Reflections Dance Center years ago.
