AT first I thought the studio seemed like an excellent place for my daughter to study. They offered such a variety of classes and they were unique in the area! I was a little taken aback when I realized that there were only 4 students including my daughter in both her Jazz and Musical Theater class. That should have been my first clue. However, I continued keeping my daughter in the classes until their first performance. I was sooo embarassed that I had invited my family to see what I thought was to be a children's performance. Boy was I surprised when it turned out to be more about the teachers than the students! Of the 10 numbers in the performance, 5 of them were numbers by the teachers... 3 solos were performed by Jennifer Deckelman herself and another solo by the other teacher, Jessica, was performed. Then there was an acting scene where the majority of the parts were recited by Jennifer Deckelman again. WHAT A JOKE!!! Obviously, the teachers and owners care more about performing themselves than they do about teaching the children. UNBELIEVABLE!!! I am appaled and beyond disgusted!! They should be ashamed of themselves! Not to mention that the children that did perform were VERY poorly trained! The "veterans" did not even know how to project or sing from their diaphrams... I pulled my daughter immediately, and I plan on telling everyone I can about what an absolute joke this "studio" is so they do not waste their money like I did.

This week in comp we’ve been working with touch exercises. Today was our turn to propose structures, so MJ proposed that we use light touch and react naturally to how the touch made us feel. I suggested a modification: closing our eyes so that we could concentrate primarily on the sensation. So we...
