General Comments

Overall recommendation:


Definitely Not	Absolutely

Best aspect:

Very focused, high expectations, class size limited to 7 dancers, year round teachers who are still actively performing . Because of class size they get a lot done in classes, Every 2 weeks there is a new barre to memorize & new variation for every level

Least liked about program:

No other dance styles offered, no housing available but that may change in the future (host families?)

Suggested changes to program:

Add in character dancing

Culture of program:

Motivated, high expectations, kind students who work together well usually

Other comments:

Hidden gem in Seattle, incredible faculty & a big bonus is they have studio cats Smoothie & Milkshake which the dancers love!
