[quote=Anonymous][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]

Goodness, maybe I should tell DD to pick another activity if this will be the perception! :roll: [/quote]

Dance is so silly. My DD is in it, and the culture is ridiculous. It comes from the top. Favoritism, dismissing parent concerns, ridiculous demands.

Our Studio is requiring parents and students to watch 10 hours of virtual training on how to be a better dance parent!!!!! [/quote]

That’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard.[/quote]
