) Anyway, when we left all bills were paid in full and we had always paid informally. Sometimes a check, sometimes cash. Well, six months later I get an itemized bill in the mail with all these trumped up charges. Costumes and recital fees for the year that we didnt participate. Fees from 2004! We had never received a paper bill before - not in 4 years........I called and explained that I didnt owe these charges and she wasnt even in the recital. Long story short, they have now sued me for almost $700 dollars. Of course I didnt have receipts where I had paid six months down the line. Now is 2 years later and she is sueing me. If your child is in dance - make sure you keep your receipts!!!!!!!...We never signed a contract or anything so I guess we'll see what happens in court.
My daughter danced in Florence at a very popular dance studio for 4 years. (I dont know if I can say the name without it being slander). When we left in 2005 she was diagnosed with ADD so we took some time off to get her schoolwork in order. (She is on honor roll now) Anyway, when we left all bills were paid in full and we had always paid informally. Sometimes a check, sometimes cash.
