A sick woman at the studio who came in made rude remarks about my daughter who is only 2 years old, because she thought she was taking her daughters old filthy deflated balloon and I told her never ever speak to her like that again. Then later that day I received a missed call from Kinetics and had a voicemail from Hayley Horn, the owner. I knew right away it was most likely regarding the incident that happened earlier in the day. I never had conversations with Hayley Horn, nor did I know her personally, but from the limited interaction I did have, something didnt settle well with me. I called her back and she had me wait for about a minute, then proceeded to tell me she heard about the incident earlier and advised that the mom had called her, claiming I made a huge scene, waited for her in the parking lot, and physically attacked her, grabbing her wrists. I was in utter and complete shock, upon hearing this, thinking, is this really happening? I responded, "First of all, how can you accuse me of something I did not do, especially if you havent even heard my side of the story? If that would ever have happened, why would she call you and not a police officer to make a report?! And not to mention there are tons of cameras all over the parking lot and in front of all the businesses on Broadway that will show exactly what happened! Also its ridiculous that you believe some random lady who just walked in the door, over someone who has been coming to this studio for almost a year and has spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars here. I get along great with the moms there and would never disrespect the studio or anyone.” I told her word for word what had happened and that I had my two daughters with me and while holding my baby I would never do such a horrible thing! She then goes on to say " well, Ive made my decision, and your daughter is being kicked out of the studio and no longer performing at the recital ". I could not believe what I was hearing. My sweet daughter is getting kicked out because some sick and twisted woman made up a huge lie and we get no say, no meeting, no resolution, just booted out the door. I then responded, "you know what, thats fine, because we arent returning after Spring anyway. There are far better ballet studios here in town. I dont want my daughter going to a school with these kind of values and an owner who, in my opinion, is being extremely crude and racist. I felt discriminated against and humiliated, at the fact I was made to look like someone whos attacking people. I then tell her that I will not let this go and will share my experience with everybody and her exact words were, "Good luck honey, Im the owner". What kind of business owner is that? For someone who supposedly cares about their students wellbeing, youre going to kick out an innocent child, over vicious lies? All this school wants is money and the owner does not care about every student just the ones she wants to. And to the mom who made up this whole story, you are truly sick, I hope you got your thrills out of it all but just know, Karma is real. Please everyone share this story and spread the word about this horrible place. We are not the first family that has felt discriminated against and treated badly. I never want anyone to have to go through this and have to explain to their 2 1/2 year old that she wont be able to perform in a play shes been working so hard on because there are nasty and mean people in this world we live in. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read and for your support.
