General Comments

Overall recommendation:


Definitely Not	Absolutely

Best aspect:

This was an amazing introduction to a summer intensive and a wonderful option for anyone local to RI looking for a short program. We LOVE the studio director, she brings such joy to dance and is truly supportive of every single dancer.

Least liked about program:

I would have love to have seen it be offered for two weeks.

Suggested changes to program:

Option for a second week

Culture of program:

Supportive and inclusive. This is a very small SI with a single level that works to adapt to everyone. Small size means lots of individual attention.

Other comments:

This SI is an amazing option for dancers local to RI who are looking for a little extra dance and technique over the summer. My dancer did see some improvement over the week and felt more prepared heading into the fall. This SI may not be the one to get your dancer to the next level but the positive and joyful atmosphere will help them get ready for the upcoming school year with a smile.
