Amyclae USA Ltd

I initially gave a great review but it was for the teachers there. Things have shifted since. The secretary/admin of Amyclae Vicky is extremely unprofessional. Very narcissistic and condescending. I inquired about the monthly payments for competition after telling her we are on a strict budget. Later I see a $1, 400 charge in my child's account and I emailed her to asked her why was I charged after raising awareness that not knowing a specific amount for competition made me uncomfortable. Mind you, I NEVER said I wasn't going to pay it. I simply wanted an explanation and maybe the charges could be voided. She writes a long textbook about how I asked Ms. Tina to hold my daughter spot while we were on vacation (which is false) I never talked to anyone about that. I was professional and never rude. Long story short in the email she states " I don't know who you want to pay for your child's choreography after you changed your mind." Again, I never changed my mind because I never asked y'all to hold my daughter's spot while we were on vacation. That's statement was very unprofessional. She called my daughter a quitter, and then when I called her out on her unprofessionalism she played the victim card stated that she tried to defuse the situation by offering me a scholarship. When in fact she insulted me and my child and then tried to clean it up by giving me some bogus discount. I now have to pay over $2000 for something my daughter never attended or benefited from. Yes, during auditions a signed a contract and that's where I went wrong. I thought it was a permission slip but it was a binding contract. So please, do not be like me, read what you're signing. As a paying customer I should have been treated better. Never been late on payments and never asked for hand me down. Vicky is insanely unprofessional, she is going to ruin Amyclae's reputation with her poor professionalism!

Our daughter has been attending Amyclae for three years and loves it! She mainly focuses on Jazz and Musical Theater but has also taken some Ballet. The teachers are superb and office is helpful. They provide an environment where everyone is so welcoming. The many options for classes they provide at Amyclae far exceed any other studio that we had looked into. It’s become our second home.

I danced at Amyclae for almost 6 full years before leaving. If studio owner and artistic director did not like a parent, she ‘bullied’ that child. When I had left, I still had many friends who had danced there who had told me about her talking poorly about me after I left. While I was still a member, she would gossip with dancers and parents about current and former teachers and families. All together, my experience here was pretty awful and emotionally exhausting. Please avoid Amyclae.

Amyclae Dance Academy welcomes everyone with open arms. The teachers are dedicated, compassionate, and supportive, and the office staff is very friendly. The studio offers a variety of classes, and students are giving incredible opportunities to expand their knowledge and passion of dance. The environment is positive and fun. Amyclae is one gigantic family and all of the dancers are supportive of one another.

My daughter has danced at Amyclae Dance Academy for 6 years and is beginning her 7th now! She has enjoyed every year more and more as she grows in her ability and her confidence. There are ballet performances in the winter and a full studio recital in the spring. There is also a Competition Team where students who wish to work at a competitive level can attend competitions and workshops outside of the local area. Having a safe and welcoming environment is incredibly important to me not only as a parent but as an educator. From the Director and Assistant Directors, to the teachers, to the front office staff the people who work at Amyclae could not be more accommodating. They work hard to ensure that all students appreciate what dance has to offer. Amyclae Dance Academy brings in instructors from around the U.S. for workshops and master classes so that students can learn new techniques and see the variety of professional dance opportunities that exist. My daughter eagerly looks forward to these opportunities and enjoys having had the opportunity to work with Nico Greetham, Charles Lawrence, and the amazing faculty from Tremaine Dance based out of LA (to name a few). This studio has a whole child focus and adjusts instruction so that each student is working to their best potential. Students grow in confidence as they perform and learn how to work together as an ensemble. I would strongly encourage anyone to stop in and meet Carla, Hope, or Anna at the front desk and take a tour of the studio. Meet the fabulous instructors and talk to the parents who are waiting for their dancers. You will find it is a wonderful place for children to grow their love of dance and build their confidence as young men and women.
