Best aspect
Very uplifting
This program truly nurtures the whole dancer. I felt like my dancer was given the tools to really help her succeed as a well rounded dancer. Learning from former PNB principal dancers Lindsi Dec and Karel Cruz was truly a unique and wonderful experience . They are genuine people who care deeply about their students.
The love and encouragement from the teachers
From the teacher's various teaching to the welcoming environment they built was amazing. Such great teachers that helped you to work on details, dynamics, and artistry!! Highly recommend
The professional training ,attention to technique and opportunity is unmatched.
The teachers were all very kind and supportive and they gave helpful, easy to apply corrections. The girls there were also really nice.

There is not a better place to send your dancer. The environment is incredible!
Very supportive and encouraging. They push you but in a good way.
Other comments
My dancer will be able to return to her home studio with improved skills and attitude.
I highly recommended DeCruz Ballet.
Even though it was a class with other dancers my daughter still got noticed and felt seen and given corrections to improve. She improved so much during this summer intensive.
Lindsi and Karel are incredible teachers and coaches. I highly recommend this intensive!
