Ronda´s Elite Dance Tumble Cheer Acro Center

I was initially happy after enrolling my daughter in recreational tumbling at Ronda’s. It seemed like a great transition for her from acro at her old dance studio. As time went by I noticed a few things I didn’t like, but I let those things slide because they were little things.

Then one night a male coach body-shamed my 10 year old. She didn’t tell me right away, but when she did I was fuming. I sent an email that same night (12/15/23) and asked to receive a response from the owner.

I understand it’s my child’s word against the coach, but I will absolutely, EVERY time, believe my daughter when she tells me about ANY interaction with an adult concerning her body.

She is a child. She is growing and developing physically, mentally, and emotionally. She doesn’t need a grown man in a position of authority criticizing her body. Children develop self-confidence issues quite naturally, just from being around their peers and watching TV. Comments from adults should be encouraging and helpful, not insulting. Especially from coaches!!

The thing that makes me the most angry is that no one ever responded to my email. I emailed again (12/22/23), called and left a message (1/5/24), and even sent a message through the website. I don’t understand why at the very minimum, SOMEONE from the studio hasn’t responded that they are sorry about our experience. Complete silence is an insult, not to mention extremely unprofessional, and an unacceptable way to run a business.

In hindsight I wish I had pulled my daughter out sooner. They have very poor communication skills if you ever find yourself needing to speak with someone. Also, children are allowed to walk out with anyone. There’s no one checking to make sure they’re with the correct adult — or even with an adult at all. I had hoped that would improve after they moved to their new location, but it did not. It has never felt like a safe place to leave my child and I cannot recommend Ronda’s to anyone because of that and my daughter’s negative experience with her coach.
