Before committing too much money into this place, sign up for few group lessons and get to know the place and who the best instructors are, because the price is high!. It's unlikely that you'll ever meet or find out who runs the place and the receptionists have quite a choosy, unwelcoming, unhelpful and unpleasant attitude. The washrooms are clean, but somewhat broken down and not well maintained. You'll pay a hefty fee for private lessons, its a little better for semi-private ones and group lessons are (in my opinion) reasonable. If you have kids or teens; you'll pay for their lessons, their costumes, tickets to see them perform (not cheap either!) and ...get this...tickets for your kids to perform, so that the school can make money from their performance!!!...Yeap! I am definitely looking for another place at this point, before throwing another $6.000 out the window in less than a year. Any suggestions?
