General Comments

Overall recommendation

Definitely Not

1
Absolutely

Best aspect

  • It was very easy to make friends
  • My dancer loved Rep and working with the Guest Company. Honestly, the strength of this program ended up being the non-ballet classes. They were excellent and it was really great for my ballerina to grow in new genres.

Least liked about program

  • Hot dorm (record heat...so might not be the case for all)

Suggested changes to program

  • Strengthen the ballet training

Culture of program

  • Amazing!
  • Kind, inclusive and body positive. The RAs had the dancers playing games at night, doing a dorm door decorating contest and the kids really bonded. The positive culture is one of it's strengths.

Other comments

  • The intensive went from Monday (week 1) to Friday (week 2) with a full day of classes each day (including Saturday and Sunday)
  • This was my dancer's first overnight SI and it was just perfect for that (especially for people who live or will be vacationing in the region).
