Unprofessional - don’t rely on anything Amber tells you.
I enrolled my 3 yo and 5 yo in a semester of dance classes each. My experience throughout the semester was a poor introduction into the world of dance.
Amber cancelled at least 20% of the classes, often last minute. She refunded some of those cancelled classes. When she did get a substitute they were late and would end class early. Once I found my 3 yo completely alone and crying cowering by the door when I came to pick her up on time. I couldn’t find any adult to inquire as to what had happened.
I paid for a video of the spring recital so I could help out backstage. Not only did I miss my girls performances, but the video I paid for was never delivered. I was given promises of this date out, or in this many weeks, but nothing. I have missed that opportunity completely. She now ignores all communications about this subject.
Additionally there were many unforeseen last minute very expensive costs that were not transparent during enrollment. I would suggest that Amber price costumes into her overall class costs and not ask for $100+ in less than a week’s time because she realized this was a cost that needed to be considered. I have more thoughts about the quality of these very overpriced cheap costumes.
While I do think the dance skill and healthy body image is a positive representation of this studio; it is not worth the heartache that dealing with the constant unprofessional and ever changeable Amber. Steer clear of Barre. It will break your heart.
