Best aspect

  • Small classes so you got lots of attention from the teachers
  • Ballet class

Least liked about program

  • There was not enough forsythe and no partnering
  • advanced pointe work

Suggested changes to program

  • Adding more forsythe and partering. Being more clear about the group placement. Making better group placements (there was a twelve year old in my class when there were also 17 year olds and a girl one year younger then me wasn’t placed in a group that matched her level.
  • less difficult pointework

Culture of program

  • Very relaxed
  • neat and comptetitive
