General Comments

Overall recommendation

Definitely Not
2
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
  • The amount of attention you get each class

Least liked about program

  • No other dance styles offered, no housing available but that may change in the future (host families?)
  • Not any other genres of dance

Suggested changes to program

  • Add in character dancing
  • Classes for other genres of dance

Culture of program

  • Motivated, high expectations, kind students who work together well usually
  • Positive, inclusive, organized

Other comments

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