Absolutely

Best aspect

  • The pace of rehearsals had us learning and doing so much! Loved how active rep was

Least liked about program

  • Wish second week was a full 6 days.

Suggested changes to program

  • Have showing on Saturday instead of Friday to get one more full day of intensive in

Culture of program

  • Incredibly kind folks and absolutely dedicated to the quality of teaching and dancing. No weird politics or drama were apparent.

Other comments

  • A fantastic value for the high quality instruction and opportunity to dance Balanchine rep
