Another idea...do an internet search for reviews!

  Finding a dance school that is emotionally safe and supportive to young girls and developing teenagers is so important, more important than you may initially think!  These children may end up spending several hours of the week at the school, particularly if there are additional off-site activities related to the school such as competition teams and such.  The school may have a larger impact on your child than you realize at the beginning.  Do a thorough search on the internet, looking for reviews.  Read them thoroughly to see if reviews give facts.  If they do, take heed.  You might be able to help your child avert a disastrous experience that already impacted another child.Ask about the teacher in your community, you may find important information about the teacher that may help you to choose a different school.  Be careful!
