I signed up with this Agency and paid 500 dollars as this was a mandatory submission fee to join as an actor, model or dancer. Was then informed that to dance in their shows, I must pay them for the dance choreography and would not be paid to perform at their venues because they had to pay the venue to allow us to perform, naive as I was, I paid to learn the dances and performed for free in the shows - only to meet other dance groups who told me they were paid to perform at the same venue. No matter what came up, she kept expecting more and more money which I did not have. In the two years I was with her, never was I sent for a single audition. I have friends who have joined her who have been hired to do extra work on sets and then was told they are not paid for it because it is to get experience on set. I know now that this is a lie and that anyone who works on a legitimate set would be paid for extra work. Not that she ever gets anyone work, but she claims she charges 20 % commission, when the industry standard is 10-15 %. She actually takes 90-100%. She is a scam and please please be ware and never sign with an agency who is asking for money upfront like this - beyond maybe a 100 $ administration fee.
