General Comments

Overall recommendation

Definitely Not

Absolutely

Best aspect

  • Learning large amounts of choreography and working alongside company dancers
  • BalletMet was friendly and learning dances was fun.

Least liked about program

  • That groups were based on age.
  • The marketing made it seem like they would work with Edwaard but didn’t. Also, communication was not gre to the point we had to keep changing flights unsure of when the program would actually end.

Suggested changes to program

  • Make it a 2 week program.
  • Be clear Edwaard wouldn’t be part of this week.

Culture of program

  • Very positive and supportive.
  • Friendly and fun

Other comments

  • Runs Sunday through Thursday with observation Friday morning of all choreo learned that week. Dancers keep same schedule as company dancers do in a regular basis.
