I agree with the previous reviewer. There's no way to see your children once they go thru that gym door. As a parent, your stuck sitting for an hour in a dimly lit area and close quarters to other parents, very uncomfortable.

Beware of their billing practices as well. They have (4) week sessions and you're committing to each and every session whether you're there or not and the accounts receivable department is not very willing to work with you.

our daughter has been going to carol leones for dance and gymnastics for two years...cuz thats how often they have recitals, every two years. ridiculous. how are we supposed to see how what our daughter has learned? also, theres only a few observation days (like, 2-3) during the year to view what they learn and know; no observation allowed otherwise. during the recital, there is no announcement or introduction or anything at the beginning, before the acts, or at the end of the show. just lights on and off. they mandate every family buy a minimum of 5 tickets at $10/each for the recital. what bs is that? god forbid the parent is single or just starting off, that would render the parent(s) +/-$40 after already spending $$$ on everything else! not to mention that there was literally NO parking an hour before the recital probably due to the mandated ticket purchases. our daughter was only in one performance (which we were told nothing of the choreography, theme, or music until the dress rehearsal two days prior), that lasted hardly two minutes. the costume, i will say, was gorgeous. but theres a catch, it was used in two other performances, with different kids...AND at the evening recital which our child was not in for some unbeknownst reason. that did NOT happen during any other performance. all the costumes were very different except for ours and the two other performances. if we spent almost $100 on a costume, we expect it to be unique and only in our performance. im sure im not the only parent ticked of by that. besides the recital and everything to do with it being a gigantic letdown and the fact that we cant observe anything shes taught....the women that run the place are rude and talk to you like you're an idiot "youngin". the billing system is the most bass-ackwards system ive ever encountered; they even admitted to it being ridiculous and outdated when ive called to figure out exactly what we owed on tuition and the costume. its literally the most confusing piece of paper ive ever encountered. we will not be returning to carol leones next year, we only stayed for two years so that she would be in the recital. they sent a notice saying that the owners are stepping down and new management will be taking over...THANK GOODNESS!!! but that still will not interest us in coming back. we used to take her to arenas dance; the only reason we left is that we didnt feel they offered enough gymnastics or competition. we shouldve stayed because carol leones is TERRIBLE!
