[quote=Anonymous]There are some other recent threads on this that you might want to look at but here is my two cents.  Generally speaking, the atmosphere is more strict than some other schools.  Within that, some teachers are more strict than others, and some are more likely to mention nutrition and body issues than others to the young girls.  My daughter, who is 8 and who started there when she was five, has never mentioned her teacher speaking to the girls about nutrition or body issues, but I have heard from other parents whose kids had different teachers who were uncomfortable with some things that teachers said in the classroom about those topics. But I think at the lower levels it is largely not an issue.  I would say that I would think twice before trying to get there from Tysons Corner.  They are very strict about being on time, and it just seems like a stress you don't need.  They also for the most part, don't give you much choice about what class you are in.  You might want to have your daughter take classes somewhere more convenient, and if she loves ballet and is really committed, audition again later on when the stress of that drive would be more worthwhile.
