Worse experience for our girls and us as parents. The only time the owner was involved was to collect money from us parents. We would have to pay coaches fees when we would go out of town for competition for their lodging and spending and we were fine with that...until we found out that we were also paying for his mom, kids, wife and his travel as well. He would charge us 100 for recital costumes come to find out he would only pay about 35 dollars for it. We were there for 3 years and left 3 years ago. The reason i bring this up now is i just received a letter from a so called "attorney" that we owe him 1488.50! Where does he get that amount? I have no idea but he knows darn well every penny was paid to him. We had to leave the studio before our contract was up due to some violence all of our children had to witness. We left in April, and he told us we would have to pay until July which was when the season finished. So thats exactly what we did I signed his letter and left it at that. His partner even said if we ever wanted to come back we were welcome (no thanks) 3 years later 03/27/17 I get that crazy letter that we owe him 1488.50. He is insane and money hungry. Its pretty sad especially him knowing we paid him every penny owed to him. There was a lot of harassment coming from him with other mothers and students but I wont mention any names. Parents my advice to you...stay away from this Owner/studio. Not one to bash local businesses because we should all support each other but hes done so much wrong that everyone needs to know.

I know the owner personally and though I can not vouch for other peoples experience with him, I have known him as a person of character and integrity. As many may not know...working with youth, let alone the parents can be a tough and often challenging task, as it is very difficult to please everyone. Therefore, decisions are made to suite what is best for both the talent and the company with the resources that are available. My time at LAT Studio as a vocal coach, I witnessed, behind the scenes, the effort, love and patience that it takes to run such a company with excellence. I am sure he could have chosen other careers to invest his time. I find it difficult to attack his character and motives of not looking out for the best interest of these wonderful and talented children, when this agency is but an extension of the love and care he exudes as a loving father to his own children.

OK I was there in that program in 2009 (I think I was 4 at the time) my name ,Natalie, and I loved it but the owner was harassing the girls and boys mothers or the women there theres also the couple times I saw the man harassing other women but my mom and my mom is the toughest person I knew so I guess that he was afraid of her because my mom would make a BIG DEAL if hed ever done that or scam her so my mom would actually sue him , press charges , or something even worse so we left all 5 of us 3of my cousins ,my mom ,and me so Im glad Im out
