I enrolled my daughter in Melanie Campbell's (Future Melanie Durham) studio Orangecrest Dance Academy in Riverside CA. After months of rehearsals it was finally recital time. She informed us that we could not bring our DVD recorders into the room and we MUST purchase a DVD from her if we wanted to see our child's performance. I paid the $ and NEVER received the DVD. I've tried to contact her SEVERAL times via email and telephone and no response. She had no problem cashing my check but never gave us our DVD. After several attempts I finally started doing some research and found out this was not the first time this has happened to one of her paying customers (refer to Rip Off Report # 449622, this mother had the same exact thing happen to her family last year).
This is a terrible thing to do to a child and family. This was my 3 year olds very first dance recital and it was very sentimental to us all. We have no memories of it now and I'm heartbroken!

Update on Melanie Durham/Orangecrest Dance Academy
AUTHOR: Dannielle - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Monday, September 07, 2009
I just wanted to post an update on this situation. After several attempts to try to contact Ms. Melanie via email and phone with no response, and after doing some research online I posted this report. I feel that no matter how busy someone is, if you are running a business you should respond in a timely manner to your paying customers.
I tried and tried to get a hold of Ms. Melanie and couldn't until coincidentally the day after I posted this report. She waited 57 days after the recital to decide to return my email letting me know the DVD's are done but not ready for pickup. It wasn't until August 31st that she FINALLY sent the email stating the DVD's are ready (73 days after the recital).
I don't mind at all waiting for the DVD had I been informed that they're being worked on or will be delayed. It's the fact that I heard nothing and then after 6 weeks of waiting and still no response that I did my research. To see that another mother had posted a rip off report of the same scenario a year prior regarding the same instructor made me very nervous, sad, and upset. I truly believed (and rightly so) that I wouldn't see my daughter's DVD. This worry could have all been prevented by a simple response.
I would like to post the email I got today from Mrs. Melanie so everyone can see what kind of instructor she is and beware of her threats. This email was sent to me today (Sept. 7th, 2009).
