Best aspect

  • Cuban guest teacher
  • Getting to learn ballet and modern pieces by master teachers from Israel, Spain, and Cuba each week! Meeting dancers from around the world. Master classes from famous world renowned ballet teachers.

Least liked about program

  • Very disorganized, teachers didn’t show to teach some classes and students just sat for the hour, inappropriate leveling, verbally abusive

Culture of program

  • Very negative
  • Serious, focused, engaging, supportive

Other comments

  • The advanced class seemed to be better. Definitely do not send a student under age 14.
