A dance school with a very poor management organization.
On the positive side, I would like to note that classes are usually held without cancellations, the teacher is replaced in the absence of the main one. Adequate cost.
Now about the reality:
1. It is located on the "dark" side of the avenue, the entrance to the building is in one door with an alcohol market, in the next room there is a brasserie from the 2000s. Due to this recruitment, children are constantly forced to go through alcoholics sitting on the steps on the street, spitting, swearing and defecating in the bushes in the square, which is immediately located.
2. The reception area, the changing rooms (I don't know about the gym itself) are not ventilated, there is no air conditioning. The rooms have a smell after hundreds of classes and lack of oxygen.
3. The classes themselves last 45 minutes and are set to flow. As soon as one group comes out, another comes in immediately, without a break. There is a feeling that the school is focused on quantity, not quality.
4. In such a short time, the teacher does not think that the children's team needs to be united and disciplined. Children, according to the child's stories, manage to push each other, pinch, etc. The teacher either does not see or intentionally does not react. You will not receive any feedback about your progress, except in open lessons every few months. The teacher doesn't even leave the hall because of the endless stream of groups.
5. The administrator, at least about Veronica, I can say with confidence, is incompetent. He can't give a full answer to any of the questions. I also especially remember the first lesson. "If you pay right away, I'll give you a branded T-shirt for training," the receptionist said. We paid for it, but there are no T-shirts available. They were eventually issued after several visits.
6. Only with me, on different days, several parents complained that there were no breaks between groups and periodically even such short training timings were not observed: they started 2-5 minutes later and finished exactly at the scheduled time.
Total: I do not recommend dancing school. There are too many questions about the organization. In many circles, I noticed that problems are not solved, as a rule, due to the fact that most of the parents simply remain silent, accept what they have instead of demanding normal service, respect and competence of the staff for their own money.
My daughter was at a trial session on Sat on October 28 at your branch on Independence.
My daughter was 10 minutes late for class (there's another dance nearby, we went there right away, changed clothes)
As a result, the teacher did not even greet the child, immediately rudely informed that she would not repeat anything for latecomers (although no one asked her to do this), she just danced in front of the mirror and told them to repeat after her, she did not put exercises on children, did not show them. It was obvious that the children did not understand and did everything wrong. And she also managed to swear obscenely somewhere in between.
I'm passing it on from my daughter's words, of course, but I'm telling you with all responsibility - she couldn't just invent all this. It's such an out-of-the-ordinary situation that the child just left the middle of the lesson - for the first time in 11 years.
I understand that it is impossible to be late, but this does not justify the actions of the so-called "teacher".
My daughter was very upset by such humiliation, and besides, I'm sorry for the time spent.
We were at a trial class in 2022. The lesson went like this: 1. There were 25-30 children! 2. the teacher took photos against the background of the children, they had to wave and smile, and those who did not want or prevented her from posing (like my child)she screamed and gestured not to interfere!!! I saw this "beautiful" sight personally! I was shocked! I do not know the name of the teacher, average height is about 165 cm, blond hair. I thought the trial session was held so that the child would understand whether he likes it or not, whether he wants to walk, and not as an extra and a show-off for photos posted on the Internet. Parents are not warned about this format! And that the teacher, who clearly does not have his own children, and is mentally unstable, will yell at the child! I do not recommend this teacher!!! A terrible person! She must not be allowed near the children!!! Yes, the photo was taken by an employee of the same organization, no one gave the teacher a negative comment towards the children. The conclusion is that parents do it themselves, they will talk sweetly to you both in person and on the phone, and when you are not around, they will yell at your child with crazy eyes, if they had not personally seen it, they would not have believed it! The positive reviews are clearly written by their own - it's beautiful only in the photo.
Indeed, the best dance studio in Minsk. The child has been studying for more than a year, he likes everything very much. The organization of classes and reporting concerts is always at the highest level. The location of the studio on Independence is quite convenient, right next to the metro and the shopping center. I would also like to note the loyal attitude of the management and teachers not only to children, but also to parents. Thank you, I will be happy to recommend it.
Good afternoon.My name is Larisa and I am 61 years old.I've been dancing in Tandem since September 2022, and we performed on stage in December.Based on age, not everything turns out smoothly.But the atmosphere and attitude of Coach Lisa does not allow me to relax.After a working day, in the evening I run to the dance with great pleasure, and when I come home, I'm ready to redo everything at home, I get so much energy.I advise everyone to go dancing, there experienced coach Lisa will charge so that you want to live up to 100. prosperity to the Tandem, health to the organizers and our coach Lisa
The child always leaves the class in a good mood, as for me this is the main criterion!) Thank you very much to the teacher for her work! The studio administrator always greets you with a smile! They always make contact and quickly resolve the issues that are put before them. I have only positive emotions from the studio! We have already purchased tickets for the reporting concert and are looking forward to it!
