General Comments

Overall recommendation:


Definitely Not	Absolutely

Best aspect:

My child enjoyed meeting new friends. They enjoyed a night out watching the National Ballet at their outdoor performance on the Harbourfront.

Least liked about program:

We weren't told what they needed for the showcase, so we had to rent a tutu. Also did not like white for the girls everyday.

Suggested changes to program:

Allow any colour leotards for your summer program.

Culture of program:

Hectic but my child got a lot out of this program.

Other comments:

The teachers are invested in their long term students and clearly have their favourites that get showcased more often.
