Parkettes

The vibe of this place is so unsettling to those trying to get their kids more involved with physical activity in a different way than school sports. Never in a billion years would I go back there with my kids - and I still have classes left I paid for! Staff treats the children as if they’re 18 in basic training - yelling and belittling anyone who isn’t a ‘superstar’. The fact they say in their website that they are dedicated to providing every child with a complete and positive athletic experience is an absolute joke. Parents feel unnecessarily entitled and rude to others who aren’t ’on their level’. I met a Marisa Draser and the things she said about others behind their backs was absolutely appalling. Literally one cares that your kids are naturally gifted athletes and better than everyone else there. If I knew I was signing my kids up to be ridiculed by arrogant people I would have never gave them my paycheck. This program doesn’t develop anyone in a positive way - they take kids who are exceptionally gifted and exploit that to claim they’re producers of champions. Do yourself a favor and believe the other one star reviews. I would have saved a lot of money if I took that advice myself.

This place is fraud. My daughter, who is a professional dancer was hired by their administrator Brooke to teach dance classes during their summer intensive. She thought 6 classes but was only paid for four. When she told Brooke that the amount on the check is lower than supposed to be, Brooke said that they will mail the remaining amount. Unfortunately, the remaining amount has never came and Brooke disappeared and has never responded to messages or call. My daughter drove three hours per day to teach these classes and it just extremely low when people act that way, it’s very easy to ruin the reputation which was built for years.

I signed my (then) 4 year old son up for a introductory summer tumbling program at the recommendation of a friend, and was very disappointed in the staff's ability to work with my son who is on the autism spectrum. I could visibly see their frustration, despite his behaviors being fairly low level. I offered to assist my son through the class, but was told I could not do so, even though the staff's body language and faces showed their frustration and lack of willingness to work with a child with some minor behavioral challenges. I'm sure a more typical child might be successful there, but we did not feel welcome. We stopped going. Was a shame.

My daughter went there when she was 5 and the instructor(stormi) was treating my daughter like trash and made her cry…I hope that scum isn’t working there anymore… they lost a lot from her …

I LOVE this place! They are great with the kiddos training. Plus they make sure everyone can afford it. Thank you guys!
