These people are unprofessional. They lack communication. A few minutes before my niece was scheduled to be at her recital, they said she couldn't because she was wasn't feeling well a few days prior. This is unacceptable. They had ample time to notify us that she wouldn't be able to perform. We had time get a COVID test if needed however, due to their lack of communication, my 4 year old niece was there dressed and excited to perform and she wasn't allowed to. Save your child the embarrassment. This will definitely affect her, as she worked really hard practicing to learn

I am deeply saddened by what I witnessed at my 4 year old nieces recital. I feel no child should have to experience what she went through. She was there dressed and ready to perform and she was told that she could not perform merely 9 minutes before she was scheduled to be there. This is unacceptable and unprofessional. We try to teach our kids if you work hard great things will happened, and now at such a young age shes learning the painful truth that you can be affected my the ignorance and negligence of others. This one incident will greatly affect her for years to come. They were rude

Worst Place to bring your child! They have very poor communication skills. They are all about their money do not care about your child. I've been texting their assistant since early morning about my child participation in the recital. She decided text me back the next day (5 minutes before the recital begin) to say my child can not participate. In case they want to lie, I have the text messages to prove otherwise.

Ive been dancing at JusHiphop since the doors opened since I was a preteen.Now Im an adult and its safe to say things operate just how they always have. Ms.Maraj is does a wonderful job with teaching age appropriate dance while also ensuring the kids learn confidence & performance etiquette. If your child comes to JusHiphop know that they will leave with some new tools under their belt that they can use in both the entertainment world & real life!
