Best aspect

  • Exposing to various dance beyond ballet
  • Larry is an amazing teacher
  • Improve Tecnic

Least liked about program

  • No focus on modern or contemporary, not very organized, very poorly maintained facility
  • many year round students attended and sometimes it felt like they were favored to the rest of us.
  • I love the program, amazing teachers Mrs Larry all the time helps and Sarma is a great choreographer and teacher.

Suggested changes to program

  • update the studio and provide a more focused schedule
  • More partnering, more consistency of teachers, and the final show indoors not on an outdoor stage.
  • More time for take a lunch

Culture of program

  • not sure
  • The dancers are super supportive of one another, some teachers were amazing and one was a little harsh. All amazing training though.
  • You learn a lot in all aspects since the directors have a lot of experience
