Scripps Dance Centre

My daughter has been going here for a while and LOVES IT. She can’t wait to go to class on Friday. Everyone is very nice and my daughter loves her teacher Mr. Ryan.

I have never written a bad review before, but I had such an awful experience here. I am still in shock over how my kids and I were treated. The owner, Kelley, is extremely rude, immature, and dishonest. I had put my seven year old in the level one ballet class based on the recommendation of the staff person who returned my phone call. As it turned out the class went over capacity and some parents (not me) were complaining. 4 weeks later the owner who had never met me nor seen daughter dance started yelling at me for putting an inexperienced dancer in the class. She said she belonged in a baby class and needs to change right away. When I politely told her that my daughter has danced for over a year and seemed to me to be at the same level as most of the other 7 year olds, she yelled at me about how she went to Julliard and what do I know about dance, etc… I told her I will take her out as soon as I get a refund for the rest of the month. She did end up writing me a small check, but it was not even half of what she owed me. Other parents who heard her yelling at me told me not to take it personally because she’s like that a lot. I have no idea why anyone would put up with that, but I certainly do not want my kids in that kind of atmosphere. In the end it worked out for the best because I found another place where the teachers are excellent, professional and loving
