Best aspect

  • "The teachers were very helpful and walked around to give individual corrections. It was a wonderful experience, having the Royal Ballet staff teaching at this intensive. Iain MacKay also taught class."
  • "Small groups, 1 on 1 attention"

Least liked about program

  • "The communication to parents was a bit difficult. Email responses were delayed and the handbook wasn't very detailed."
  • "The west coast was a long travel and housing is expensive in LA"

Suggested changes to program

  • "Smaller classes and better communication leading up to the intensive."
  • "Possibly a more cost effective area"

Culture of program

  • "The entire staff was very encouraging and patient with the dancers."
  • "Very supportive"

Other comments

  • "We hope the Royal ballet comes back to Los Angeles again. This was a wonderful experience without the travel to White Lodge."
