General Comments

Overall recommendation:

Definitely NotAbsolutely

Best aspect:

It is a small program and I feel like my daughter got a lot of individual attention. Francis Veyette was one of the guest instructors for a week and she was in such a small group that she really improved. I feel like Ballet North Texas summer intensive Is a real hidden gem where you can get a lot of individual attention for a very good price. She went to Miami City Ballet Last year, but I feel like she improved more at ballet North Texas from the small class sizes.

Least liked about program:

Nothing, I was very happy with it.

Suggested changes to program:

Nothing, I was pretty happy with it.

Culture of program:

Warm, nurturing individualized attention
