General Comments
Overall recommendation:
| Definitely Not | Absolutely |
Best aspect:
Lots of pas de deux work including a whole class for pas de deux training and another class for partnering rep.
Suggested changes to program:
Technique was combined with the two levels. Now, there weren't a lot of people so it wasn't more than like 30-35 but I would rather have a smaller class.
Culture of program:
Overall it was very positive. It was challenging because this was my first experience with partner work in ballet and we had three classes in point shoes each day.
Other comments:
Alongside male students, men from the company were also dancing so it was nice to have some experienced professionals helping us. Overall I felt like the pas de deux intensive set a good base for my partnerwork and I am excited to continue improving in this area of my training!
