We brought our daughter here for a trial to see if she liked the program. However, the incredibly high pressure sales completely turned us off. They called us to have her in for a "private" lesson. Don't fall for it. It's a sales pitch. We were stuck in a small room with another couple being pressured to sign up for the course. When we said we had to think about it, he began trying to "guilt" us into signing up! I finally said we couldn't afford it and stood up and walked out. Totally embarrassing to have to do that in front of another family. I will never refer anyone here. I wished I would've asked around prior to starting her here too as the word around town is avoid the place. Run down for how much they charge per month (starts at $147/mo!! and requires 12-month commitment but wouldn't provide anything in writing. . . odd) That being said, the actual instructor for her course was terrific and we really liked him.
