Closing their school with no notice to children/families. You don't relocate without planning it ahead of time. I hope all the dancers find a tc/school with more compassion and concern for their welfare.

I can't believe what I am reading here! The Kenny Academy closing is absolutely a loss, for the region, for the kids, but it is also a huge loss for the Kennys. The letter on the 23rd being referred to here was not just a "sorry we're closed" note, it was long , detailed and very heart felt! Covid killed the Kenny Academy, it's that simple, and the families know that, they did not just up and decide to relocate. Please try to remember that you are slamming two people who have lost their business, income and home , and now it seems as a result of idle gossip, their reputation!

You are correct that they didn't just up and decide to leave. Businesses don't go under overnight and people don't relocate overnight. This decision had to have been in the works for quite some time, and the families should not have been blindsided.

Business do go under overnight, all the time! If you have never been through it then good for you but I have, it's shocking and terrible and nobody wins. Also remember that classes are on summer break so it's understandable that people didn't get to say goodby , and you are assuming that they have already left Boston, which to the best of my knowledge is not the case, so the relocation has not been overnight. They worked to come up with a solution to keep the school open while they got back on their feet and it was rejected. Telling people they should be ashamed of themselves is a ridiculous thing to say to people who have just lost everything! Kindness is free, ya know!

The email was very detailed and heartfelt, and they didn't even owe that. Think about the Kennys for 2 seconds instead. They are human beings who suffered a huge financial loss from Covid. How many businesses have gone under? A lot! They had a solution, instead they got backlash. Probably backlash from the "strong willed" parents who always have demands and feel they are owed. Rumors are rumors. Please, be kind.

They were not forthcoming with info
