General Comments

Overall recommendation:


Definitely Not	Absolutely

Best aspect:

Very few students in program and lots of attention given to everyone. Mr. Ellison taught technique and Pas de Deux class everyday. Classical partnering repertoire and contemporary partnering were held for two hours each for everyday, and I felt that I gained a lot of partnering experience.

Culture of program:

Very positive
