General Comments

Overall recommendation

Definitely Not

Absolutely

Best aspect

  • "The amount of diversity and acceptance of it taking place"
  • "The program was very small overall when I did it, so I got a ton of individual attention. The teachers knew us by name, and I got a lot of really good corrections. The teachers also really put a lot of time and effort into making sure we knew how to properly apply the corrections, and I could absolutely feel my technique improve even after just a short amount of time."

Least liked about program

  • "It was way too laid back and terrible communication"
  • "While the program was leveled based on ability, it also felt like it was largely based on age. Also because it is a much smaller program, there were less opportunities and classes overall."

Suggested changes to program

  • "A stronger ballet program"
  • "I can't really think of anything other than that I wish there were more dancers there. There are a lot of younger dancers, but not many advanced dancers who attended."

Culture of program

  • "Young"
  • "supportive, challenging, technical"

Other comments

  • "My dancer enjoyed the other types of dancing but the Ballet is seriously lacking"
  • "My technique improved so much, and I can still see the benefits of it to this day. It was also a great earlier intensive for me (it was my second ballet intensive)."
