Best aspect

  • "Incredible guest Faculty (Bashkatova, Sarabia, Borisova, Kinerbayev, Krushka) and attending with the other highly focused and dedicated students made my dancer feel like she was in a community with shared dreams."
  • "Nothing"

Least liked about program

  • "So toxic. Abuse, body shaming, toxic culture. Caused me to develop PTSD."

Suggested changes to program

  • "Put them out of business"

Culture of program

  • "A place for any dancer at any level who is committed to the process to improve and values highly insightful guest teacher insight."
  • "The worst."

Other comments

  • "All the dancers here are really open and supportive to one another!!"
  • "Do not go here."
