I went to the most recent recital, and was very impressed with the type of show that Melissa Kelly and her dancers put on. It's exciting, energetic and you can tell that the dancers really enjoy performing for the audience. The only issue I had with the recital itself was that the audience was told that they were unable to use flash photography, or take videos during the show. As most situations like that go, people were taking videos anyway. During the show the security was walking around making people turn off their videos if they found someone that was taking a video. I was one of them, and let me tell you, I was unable to enjoy the show afterwards. I realize that a VERY EXPENSIVE DVD is sold during the show; however, I don't want a video of the entire show. I want to be able to take a video of the dancer I went to watch and zoom in on her. I know how much money the parents spend at the dance school, and I think threatening to kick out anyone who wants to video tape their child, grandchild, etc. is a little extreme. Dancing should be about the enjoyment the kids get out of it, not how much extra money you can make by selling a DVD and not allowing people to video tape during the show. As good as these dancers are; they are AMATURE dancers. Melissa Kelly should seriously consider changing her video tape rule before she looses dancers because of upset and angry parents. I know the parents of the dancer I went to watch were very upset about what happened and as a result, the dancer will not be returning to Melissa Kelly next year. Melissa Kelly is great with the kids, the school in general is awesome, and the year end recital is worth going to and that's what I'm basing my rating on. But that video tape rule needs to go
