General Comments

Overall recommendation

Definitely Not
1
1
Absolutely

Best aspect

  • Accepted all levels
  • The teachers are very detailed about technique

Least liked about program

  • All levels were in lower classes, mainly based on age. No placement class
  • No partnering

Suggested changes to program

  • Venue
  • I was in the highest level there and we got separate classes from the lower levels but the two lower levels often took technique and pontie together

Culture of program

  • Inclusive
  • Very supportive and positive

Other comments

  • Highly recommend, especially if you live in Arkansas.
  • This is a really good program if your first starting out with intensives
