In short, the owner moved to Ireland.
Millennium was filled with passionate dancers and teachers, and this is why it was a successful school. However, there was also serious dysfunction.
There are lots of opinions on why the school closed and whose fault it was.
Ultimately, everyone was lucky there are enough other schools nearby that everyone was able to find a good school to continue their training.
There were two active teachers at the time of the school closure, although the owner would come for workshops and camps and did some virtual private lessons. One of the TCRG’s who left opened an adult only school in Columbus, the other joined Irwin Academy. The owner, who remained in Ireland, encouraged the dancers to join Dwyer, who took over the Millennium studio in Columbus.
A few dancers opted to follow the owner’s advice to join Dwyer. Many of the dancers decided to continue their training with the teacher who joined Irwin, the rest went to Richens, or Rankin Holland and with the exception of a few people, everyone is happy and supportive of their former classmates.

One last word of advice.
If a person is leaving the academy because they got burned when they found out their teachers were engaging in score fixing… you might want to consider a school whose teachers aren’t also judges.
Hard to participate in favor trading if your teachers aren’t judges.

And confusing to many. Nothing stands out about their tracksuits. Basic black and white. I can see how it could be confusing to other schools.

Academy has some dancers with talent so no snark there; some of their kids are legit and work hard.

Their logo/style is in need of an update. Their simple A makes them look like something out of the '80s!
