[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a dance teacher and former professional dancer.  In your situation OP, I would say that most studios are unlikely to want you.  They will hear your story and assume that you are full of drama.  If you are close in you really only have 3 viable options that anyone educted in dance would recommend, assuming they accept you:
1. BCOD
2. CityDance
3. Ovations

If you are upcouty you have a little more flexibilty:
1. Metro Ballet.  Their founder was amazing and the legacy is strong.
2. D'Amour They are just building and have strong teachers and advisors.  
3.  District Dance
4.  Olney School of Dance
5. Wheaton School of Dance

The schools to avoid are:
1. C-Unit
2. Unity
3. Dawn Crofton (although I really like the school and it's staff, I am hearing that their main teacher is building out a new space)

There are alot of schools out there; but these are the extremely well respected and extremely not respected.  There will always be stories from people who where a great or not so great fit at any business recommending or not recommending something.  I would not pay much attention to it unless there is a pattern.  [/quote]

How is a child being unhappy in a studio and wanting to leave high drama?
DD is pretty unhappy this year and we are considering leaving just to get a breath of fresh air somewhere else[/quote]

Well, because unless you are at a studio that has a horrible reputation, and to be clear, there are a few in the area, they will assume it is you being upset with level placement and your preception of favortism rather than reality.  Studios are heading into their busy season and not interested in taking on a challenging client.  They are also likely to call the former studio to get an idea of the dancers skill set and a heads up about the cultural fit.  [/quote]
