[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here - agree with the overall consensus here but a question.  There seems to be no clear next runner up waiting in the wings to capitalize on TWSB's many failings.  MYB not great if you are in VA.  Kirov closed and had its own issues anyway.  Sad that DC punches far below its weight when it comes to dance and ballet for youth, compared to the NYC Houston PNW comps[/quote]

Former Kirov people opened Alchemy in Herndon and Academy of Russian Ballet is about a mile away along with Skye Ballet Center. Maryland has Akhmedova and CityDance Conservatory along with MYB and there's Seber Method in DC. And there are others. People can argue about the merits of a big name brand like TWSB vs smaller, more intimate schools but just because a school is bigger with name recognition from a company doesn't necessarily mean the training for local students is better there. It would be nice if DC had a high quality ballet flagship school like those other cities but the smaller schools here are still producing good dancers.[/quote]
