General Comments

Overall recommendation:


Definitely Not	Absolutely

Best aspect:

Small, focused program. Lots of modern. Lots of attention from the teachers; they walk around and check on everyone. Parent observation classes through the week.

Least liked about program:

That it’s only one week. I wish it was longer.

Culture of program:

Very positive. The instructors spend a lot of time with the dancers and give good feedback and offer corrections to improve technique. My daughter also made several friends.

Other comments:

Wonderful program. We’ve attended 3x. My daughter loves it.
