This is in regard to the review written a few days ago by Jennifer W:

Missy taught all three of my children dance for years, including competitively, and has also taught several children I’ve had enrolled in my In-Home Licensed Child Care over the years. Missy played a HUGE part in instilling a love of dance particularly in my son, starting when he was just two years old, and he is still a dancer at the age of 32. Dance has been a significant part of my families life for years and my kids have had numerous dance instructors, not only in-studio but also at conventions, master classes, high school & collegiate levels. Missy is right there amongst the best of all the instructors my kids have encountered. Her dedication, kindness, patience, organizational skills and fun-loving personality are an asset to the dance community. Just about everywhere Missy goes in the community she runs into kids who love and admire her as a result of her teaching them in the past or teaching them currently. I’ve seen it for years.

The review posted by Jennifer W is completely unbelievable. Missy has had the same rules in her class for years. Rules that parents appreciate as they help teach our children to follow rules, learn to not be disruptive, learn to be patient and take turns, be courteous to their teachers and to their peers, etc., all while also having fun and learning the amazing skills of a beautiful art form. Children thrive when they are given boundaries, rules and consistency. If Jennifer does not want this type of benefit for her child, she would be much better off taking said child to an open gym time at the rec center where her child can run and play freely rather than disrupting a class by going in and out of the dance room as she pleases.

Additionally, the “crying so much she got a rash on her face” is most likely a result of experiencing her mom screaming profanities at Missy (repeatedly using the F word, along with the C word and B word as her form of communication in front of a room full of three year olds) rather than from having to follow a simple “do not disturb the rest of the class when the music is on and I am in the process of instructing” rule. God help this little girls future school teachers and her classmates since this is how her mom chooses to handle herself.

Lastly, another great quality of Missys is that she is always HONEST.

A Dance Place has been a cornerstone for my family for years. The dedication of the Walkers to build not only a high-quality dance studio, but an environment where everyone is treated like family is why I would not want to be anywhere else. My daughter has grown immensely through the work of the ADP staff, in her dance ability as well as confidence and self-esteem. The atmosphere they create permeates the dance group – I am continually impressed at how the seasoned dancers care for and lead the younger group, creating a great sense of community and friendship. My daughters life revolves around her ADP dance family, and she would not want it any other way.

Regarding a review by Jonathon Friedl – It is disappointing that your own pathetic behavior is something you chose to paint on someone else. As an audience member who saw the altercation, it was unfortunate that you chose to make a scene directly before your daughters recital. After being told by both the theater, and studio that using a giant camera (production level stuff, not a small item – this thing had the furry mic boom and a bag so large it blocked the entire aisle) in the front rows would not be allowed, you proceeded to be irate and curse at those around you. I saw them offer for you to move off to the side, or in back where the actual professionals video from, and that apparently was not good enough – after putting it away so the show could start, you got the camera out and used it anyway.
Hopefully you eventually grow up, and your family doesn’t have to perpetually deal with the fallout from all of your altercations. (I have reviewed your feedback left for others and see you continuously have issues with many different people and businesses – I think everyone can figure out what the common thread is.) Maybe therapy?
