General Comments

Overall recommendation:


Definitely Not	Absolutely

Best aspect:

I took my dancer and five others from our studio. All agreed the ballet training was far more intensive than the nationally known programs they also attended this summer.

Least liked about program:

They wanted more variety of style teachers.

Suggested changes to program:

More variety of style teachers.

Culture of program:

Very positive

Other comments:

This is a hidden gem program with excellent teachers who are so committed to the dancers. The artistic staff of Eugene Ballet - including the AD teach the upper level students, so it is a good place to get seen.
