Best aspect
"Teachers"
"Time, attention, technique, encouragement"
"The historic aspect, dancers were taught history of the company. Visit from a company dancer was very inspiring. Dancer loved the trips and the social experiences with other dancers."
"Got to experience extra classes that she normally doesn’t take during the year. Wonderful diversity."
Least liked about program
"Amount of time in class"
"N/A"
"The competitiveness, there was some favoritism; chaperones - some seemed very unaware of how to work with teens in a way that is encouraging and productive"
"A little unorganized at times"
Suggested changes to program
"Day would be longer and more weeks"
"Honestly it was very well done"
"The chaperone experience"
"In person orientation"
Culture of program
"Slightly nurturing but they pushed the dancers and a little competitive"
"Average"
"Overall culture good, but there is room for improvement with communication, living experience in the dorms, and all teachers creating a positive, non-competitive culture in the classes. The other dancers in the program were wonderful."
"Diversity"
