Absolutely

Best aspect

  • location
  • The training is phenomenal and your dancer will improve.
  • Quality of teaching

Least liked about program

  • Very strict and intense
  • Food was revolting, but you can leave and grab something else
  • Not a lot of dancing compared to other top summer intensives

Suggested changes to program

  • My daughter really enjoyed it.
  • The hours: large gaps in classes, not a lot of time in studio, question the value for $$ compared to other summer intensives

Culture of program

  • a bit uptight
  • Its intense. You go to train and learn.
  • Good

Other comments

  • not for the faint of heart, need a tough skin
  • A great place to improve your ballet skills and meet some wonderful friends from all over the world, but it is an intense week, which my daughter loved.
  • 2nd year attending. While it’s a very good program, I think there’s more rigorous training opportunities available
