General Comments

Overall recommendation

Definitely Not
2
Absolutely

Best aspect

  • The attention & time dedicated to strengthening, technique, and artistry is amazing. The UBT staff is so passionate and positive. The guest teachers are phenomenal. Lots of ‘best aspects’

Least liked about program

  • No housing (but the growth my dancer had is so worth it)

Suggested changes to program

  • Housing.

Culture of program

  • Very positive & encouraging - students & staff

Other comments

  • My dancer has attended spring and/or summer intensives for the past 3-4 years. She has grown more in this program in short periods of time than any other program she’s attended. A truly phenomenal approach to dancer’s growth.
