General Comments

Overall recommendation

Definitely Not
3
Absolutely

Best aspect

  • Being taught by teachers such as Stella Abrera, Carlos Lopez, and other ABT dancers
  • Great program overall. Highly recommend.
  • Loved every part of the program and has been my favorite summer intensive

Least liked about program

  • The first day was short and the last day was short, so it was actually less than 2 weeks

Suggested changes to program

  • Add a Saturday half-day class, add more partnering (more than 1x/week)
  • Wished it was longer than 2 weeks
  • Housing not offered

Culture of program

  • Excellent - very professional and supportive
  • great

Other comments

  • Students were not permitted to leave at lunch, so everyone brought their lunch. This was fine, from our perspective.
  • Wonderful program
  • Would definitely recommend
