I would first like to say thank you for giving Nicholas the opportunity to dance with some very nice instructors and giving him The Vogt/Cernonok Male Scholarship. Second Nicholas has grown to love and respect ballet, a few years ago he would have never taken ballet and all that changed when enrolling in his first class last year. He loves dancing at the TB. He has met and had friends encouraging him to try out for the Company, Nutcracker and The Wizard of OZ.

I think is very important to share with you our concerns and the reasons are listed below how NOT to treat children!!

It has been brought to my attention that there has been TB faculty that has claimed Nicholas has had behavioral issues. I would hope that if this was true and were concerns of TB faculty, that a parent would be notified and handled appropriately. Nick is a minor child and any issues should been address with his dad and I. Yes, I can say there has been a non-incident that has occurred with Nick and Steve and also Lisa, but Nick had worked that out with both of them. Nick had been working with Ms. Ariel and Mr. Warrick since starting with TB last year. He loves dance and dancing at TB, until Nick tried out for Lisa (Nutcracker) and Michael (OZ) is when problems started. I was also told by Mr. Michael Lang that TSA staff had warned TB faculty of Nick’s past behavioral issues. It truly sickens me that Nick would be talked about by TSA staff. Nicholas is no longer at TSA and his past has been handled. It is a shame that taking the word of mouth of TSA staff would have anything to do with TB or if was a concern address the parents. I feel Michael Lang is a bully and he prejudged Nicholas and made him feel belittled and inferior. Also I believe that pushing students to do their best is appropriate, but to threaten a child and give their part away because they are not jumping high enough, is not very positive or motivating for any student. This incident occurred when Lisa and Nick were in rehearsal for the Mouse King. It was handled poorly and unprofessional. Nick still apologized to Lisa and Michael for that matter, but still felt the backlash. Nick never missed a practice for the Nutcracker and while other students were missing weekly practices he requested in writing to have Saturday the 21st off to finish his drive time. A week notice of practice times is not an efficient time to adjust any schedule and we had already had his drive times set up. She questioned, “Could you reschedule, you will be missing practice.” So for these reasons and is no longer fun anymore for Nicholas to dance at TB we will be withdrawing.

Thank you for allowing us this time to share our feelings of how Nick felt he was being treated.
Sincerely,

Angela Rice

Toledo Ballet provides not only excellent dance instruction and conditioning, but dance productions of the highest quality. The annual Nutcracker has been a Toledo favorite for years. In addition, other new an unique productions are quickly becoming a local cultural staple.

Toledo Ballet has been the best experience for my child for the past 8 years. All of the instructors have provided quality instruction in classical ballet, jazz, and contemporary dance. The environment is extremely warm and welcoming and feels like a family! We could not be happier with Toledo Ballet!
