“The seating area is non-existant. Came in from the car after class to find an instructor reprimanding my daughter in front of 15-20 students and parents. The instructor who obviously cannot handle two 10 year old girls acting like kids should not be teaching. How do you expect children to love and learn a sport this way? This isn't the military. My kid started class 3 weeks ago made a friend and was having fun. honestly I don't blame her for not wanting to go back. To the instructor, I suggest waiting for the parent and pull them to the side and act like a leader, instead of trying to Intimidate a little girl by herself. I'll consider removing this review if the owner and instructor want to have a conversation about it. Will finish the month but probably won't continue.”
