Robert Mann Dance Center

I don’t know what the others are talking about. I’ve gone here for 7 years, and looking forward to making it 8. The studios are spacious. I love that they have they’re own store for dance wear, so if I need something I don’t have to run to the other side of bayside. The staff is nice and as a student here I can say that I love it. The prices for classes are very good ($ 55 per class).

My daughter has been going here for 3 years, mainly because of convenience. My mistake. Over a mere $ 55 late monthly payment (3 days late and I’ve never been late in 3 years) a HUGE argument erupted between myself and the guy at the front desk. Children were sitting and listening… he was inches from my face and his arm was about to strike me! I have never experienced anything like it! No matter the incident, there is NEVER any reason for violence. Needless to say I will never go back and will continue to spread the word about my situation.

classes being cancelled but owner unapologetically refused to refund remaining value ($ 20) after the class I purchased 10 passes no longer be offered anymore. Small amount but you can see true character.

Going to This school was the worst experience I have ever had. The older man at the desk, perhaps the owner, was one of the most rude, sarcastic and unprofessional people that I have encountered. He made me feel as if I was bothering him when I walked in. There were a few people at the front desk and no one greeted my family and seemed annoyed we were there. I asked a few questions and received sarcastic answers. Why would you do that to a potential client? The lack of respect and professionalism of this place was appalling. I would never have my daughter learn in an environment l

Going to visit this school was absolutely one of the most HORRIBLE experience. First of all, the owner was very unfriendly. I get it, you can cut the BS and pretentiousness but they are a business and should have some level of client service. Second of all, my child is only 5 yrs old & they only offer a combo class. The owner specifically said, she’s so young, she would be able to learn any ballet. She would have no idea to understand the flow of the dance. Immediately, I was turned off. Not only his comment was obnoxious, he came across very uneducated and very assuming.
I find it amazing that they can be in business with so many classes and for so long. I guess it’s because it is very cheap. You get what you pay for b/​c they are a cheap dance school. If you have higher standards, do your kid a favor and save your money. There are plenty of other schools.
