On October 6th, 2015, I took my 4 year old daughter (let me stress she is 4 years old), to Red Door Dance Academy for her dance class. During the class my daughter had to go to the restroom, for which she was promptly returned to the class by her grandmother. It was then observed, perhaps 15 to 20 minutes later, by her grandmother, that she was holding herself, a typical indication that she needs to go to the restroom. It was then observed that my daughter (let me stress again is a 4 year old) went up to the teacher Caitlin, to ask her to go to the bathroom. The teacher took her by the arm to the back of the dance line. My daughter began to cry, and was visibly upset, and then was escorted out by Caitlin. This was all on the monitor and at least a dozen people witnessed what happened. As a parent who loves his kids, unconditionally, I was very upset and confronted the teacher. I was told in front of everyone that this was my daughters 2nd time to go to the bathroom and by their policy she could not return to class, which upset me and my daughter even more. Let me just quickly comment on the “POLICY”… there is nothing in their “POLICY” about being dismissed from class, or asked to leave if the child has to go to the restroom more than once. Secondly what kind of INSANE policy would that be, to throw a 4 year old child out of class because she has to go to the bathroom for a second time? People I am not making this up. The teacher made it very clear to me, and everyone else who was sitting in the lobby, that she could not return to class because of this need to go to the bathroom for a second time. She made a 4 year old little girl cry because she was not allowed to go to the bathroom, and if she does, she will not be allowed to come back to class. And let me stress that my daughter is perfectly capable of letting herself out of class, and back in after she is finished, so she will not be disruptive to the class. And if she needs help, myself, my wife, or another family member is always there to help her. What is wrong with people where they have such evilness inside them? How do you not help a little girl? Instead you embarrass her in front of everyone? Who in their right mind would have a “POLICY” where you would kick a 4 year old out of something she loves to do because she needs to go to the bathroom? She is a 4 YEAR OLD CHILD! The director/owner calls my wife the following day. She never apologized but goes on to blame my daughter! She says she was taken out of class because she would not STOP crying. My wife asked her why she was crying in the first place and no response from the Director. My daughter has been going to dance since she was 2, and at Red Door for the last year. She even had Caitlin during her summer class. And never once has she cried during any class or had any issues with going to the bathroom! NEVER ONCE! My wife also brought up the “policy” that did not exist, which was the reason Caitlin told me why my daughter was asked to leave class. Again, that question went unanswered. There was no attempt to apologize or make things right. As a Director of an establishment for children that are under her care, to not even ask my side of the story, and to make up several excuses for what happened, and completely deny any wrongdoing, is completely unacceptable! What happened is the truth, and several people witnessed what had happened and have contacted my wife to tell her what happened. To make matters worse, the director sees that nothing wrong happened and offered no apologies. Children at this age are innocent, all they want is love, support and reinforcement, not to be punished for something like needing to go to the bathroom and made an “example of.” People who read this, do what you want to do, this is just a fair warning. Today’s society just wants to sweep things under the rug, lets just make things go away. Well no, this is wrong. What happened to my daughter is wrong, and I want people to know about it.

We are so grateful to have found Red Door Dance Academy for our daughter to grow as a beautiful dancer. I would highly recommend RDDA to any parent and child (boy or girl) at any age who has a desire to learn and grow as a dancer.
