[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TWSB great for serious ballet.  Seems to have lost its way under new leadership.  Only plus is getting to be in WB Nutcracker.

MYB also great ballet training.   Heard it now has a serious contemporary dance path, but am not familiar with it.  School is also under new leadership.  ( Side note - do not like the new Nutcracker.  Choreography is very repetitive.  Students did not look as polished this year.  Also, not sure what has changed in the training but the girls musculature looks much bulkier than in the past.  Not saying they look heavier. MYB always had fit healthy looking dancers, just bulkier, particularly in the legs)

City Dance is run by Lorraine.   She used trained at WSB when Mary Day was still teaching.  Lorraine taught modern at WSB.  She has also managed to secure some pretty hefty donors who used to be at WB.  Seems to be attracting the serious students unhappy at WSB and MYB.  Appears to have a ballet focused, but not necessarily ballet centric program.

Also might want to consider CityDance Pop in Tenley in looking for one or two fun dance classes a week.  Teeny, tiny studio but great teachers.   Seen a couple of the good teachers from JOM turn up here.

Joy of Motion.  Great place to take class for fun.  Horrible training since all the good teachers left.  Financial disaster and in the verge of closing. [/quote]

CityDance Pop in Tenley also has a "core" competition group that works well for kids who are strong dancers and want something a bit more advanced/serious but want to have time for other extracurriculars and don't have any professional aspirations -- it's a great fit for my DD.
