General Comments

Overall recommendation

Definitely Not
2
Absolutely

Best aspect

  • Great teachers and positive environment
  • This intensive is good for ballet students wanting to explore other genres with new teachers.

Least liked about program

  • N/A
  • Not much pointe and leveling could have been better.

Suggested changes to program

  • How leveling was done/decided. It seemed like all teens were lumped together in a mid-level group regardless of ability.

Culture of program

  • Very positive and encouraging
  • Students came from all over the world, and were very friendly and welcoming. I made lots of friends.
