  It was very challenging finding a place for my 2.5 year old to do baby ballet. We love everything about the star academy and all it has to offer for our girls. When registering here any questions I asked were answered immediately. We are so excited for this new adventure and love the star academy already!

  So I know this is a popular school and I have heard many good things. My experience was is that you are not allowed to be unhappy with your class, but you are also not allowed to ask for your deposit back.<br>The school is pro owner and not pro student, especially when it comes to money.<br>I'm basically paid a year upfront when my daughter was only attending in February basically she's been unhappy, but I was not able in the beginning to pull her out because I would've lost a ton of money. But I did anyway just for the principal.<br>This is a greedy owner, and again if you are not happy with your child's class Will not have any options they will just take your money if you wanna pull them out

  After reviewing your account history, I can confirm that the charges currently listed--covering tuition, costumes, shoes, and registration--are accurate. Because your daughter joined later in the season, the total balance was condensed into a shorter timeframe rather than being spread out starting in September. We strive to be transparent about this during the registration process to ensure there are no surprises regarding the payment schedule.<br><br>Regarding your request for a refund:<br><br>

  We had such a wonderful experience finding the perfect class for our daughter! The team did an amazing job helping us choose a class that fit both our schedule and her interests, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free.<br><br>The trial class was absolutely awesome. The teacher was warm, encouraging, and incredibly patient. What meant the most to us was how welcomed our daughter felt from the very beginning. She's usually a shy girl and takes time to open up, but she felt comfortable right away.<br><br>She loved her trial class and was so excited for her first jazz class! Seeing her walk out smiling and confident made us so happy. We're truly grateful for such a positive and supportive environment and are really looking forward to the rest of the season!
