I am an ex starz member and all the negative things written on here and MUCH MUCH MORE happened to me and more others than I could keep track of. The things that went on there were so stupid and ridiculous. I am not even going to waste my time telling the same stories that the lucky people who left have told. But I will tell you that it sure looks to me like that saint of all saints and highly qualified (NOT) teacher Michelle got a couple of students to do some PR for her. (probably a ""free"" solo again or some other promise of something that won't happen). Here's my experience: Unfriendly and sometimes rude staff, teachers with little knowledge or time for you (unless you are michelle's favorite or have money), terrible competitions competing mostly against ourselves to make it ""appear"" that starz is successful, high priced EVERYTHING and people pretending to like eachother and be such a ""family"" and talking behind everyone's back. Debate it all you want but that was MY EXPERIENCE and I'm glad I left and am finally learning how to dance.
Pros: none none none none
Cons: you name it or think it and they have it
