Overall recommendation

Definitely Not

Absolutely

Best aspect

  • Fantastic faculty; talented and friendly students; gorgeous facilities; really nice performance particularly given intensive was only one week
  • learning a completely new style of dance (spanish) and getting quality training from good teachers

Least liked about program

  • No housing; no food (including lunch) provided; certain days breaks were too long between classes which made overall day long; older students didn’t do pointe in performance
  • we had the same classes every day to build up rep for the final showcase

Suggested changes to program

  • Housing option; add pointe to performance for older girls
  • maybe being 2 weeks instead of just 1

Culture of program

  • Motivated, talented students but also quite friendly; faculty kind and engaged
  • very friendly and professional
