The Toy Box Dance Studio
Involved minor children in pole dancing activities-took money and said I was a "fake student"

I have also written a review on YELP.com that was REMOVED by the dance studio's owner because it was negative. The owner presented private pole dance lessons to me, and I was a paying customer of these lessons. Not only was the owner and instructor not professional, and discussed her poor hygiene issues, relationship issues, and how desperate she was for more work with me during the lesson, but the location was next door to a drug rehab facility in which I had to share a restroom. After a month I decided this was not for me and did not return. The owner the had the pleasure of a returning student, my husband's ex, and proceeded to tell her that I was a student and continued to tell her all about me. This ex then turned around and told my daughter who is a MINOR, about this. Not only was this not professional but completely inappropriate for a child to know about parents "pole dancing." The owner then proceeded to not apologize, remove my negative review on YELP.com, and had two of her clients post "good reviews" in which I was named and they proceeded to throw high school insults my way.in addition, the owner then told YELP that I was NOT a paying student and to remove the review. DID I GET MY money back if I was not a student? NO. Because I was a student and I paid a LOT of money to her. The owner also calls herself a "relationship expert" on her FB page —does she have credentials for this? NOPE. She says on her business website she is a nutritionist and provides you with a plan. THIS NEVER happened and to look at her clients I do not believe this happens anytime at all with anyone. The owner also told me at her GRAND OPENING of her "Toy Shed" that she caters to obese women (I am not obese) and offers chair dancing classes etc... And most of her clients appeared to be pretty heavy. On Yelp.com the two clients she had blast me for the review proceeded to say that I was too fat to be on a pole etc... What this has to do with anything is beyond me and goes to show that her studio and "fans" are also immature and have some "discovery" to do with reality. However, she did blast overweight people after having told me that she caters to "them." DO NOT GO TO HER STUDIO, she has a big mouth, is not professional, will not teach you anything that you cant learn while playing with a pole by yourself, and misrepresents herself on her website.
