I liked that it didn't matter what background of dance you had, the class was able to reach all levels of dancers and was even challenging still for those with a background in dance.
-
I liked how this course was a combination of actual ballet work as well as learning about the vocabulary and the history of ballet. This allowed me as a student to fully understand more about ballet as an art form.
-
The professor really encouraged us to keep trying harder when we did not understand topics or movements in the class. This was really helpful since we were able to continue improving this way.

She has helped me become a better dance and choreographer and work as a team with others!
