[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Comparing Washington Ballet, CityDance, Akhmedova for a high-level dancer (ABT SI, YAGP top 12 level)

Thanks![/quote]

Washington Ballet all day.  They are the standard.  On par with nyc ballet, Joffery, etc.  The others don't come close.  [/quote]

Anyone in the dance world can tell you that The Washington Ballet is no longer relevant; not even on the map in terms of good training. [/quote]

Wrong. Did your child get rejected? [/quote]

Lol, no! See if you can figure out how many student's from TWSB have attended elite summer programs in the past 5-10 years (and by elite I mean schools like ABT, John Cranko/Stuttgart, Houston, Royal Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, SAB/NYCB etc), have been awarded a company contract and they actually trained at the school (ie did not come to the school as an adult trainee for one or two years and then get a contract,) and how many students have qualified, let alone medaled, in any well-respected ballet competition (YAGP, USAIBC, ADCIBC, Prix de Lausanne) both nationally and internationally. Once you have your answer, which will be exactly zero, we can talk.[/quote]

Here is data that show where professional dancers trained.  TWSB ranks #17.  That doesn't seems too bad to me.  https://datapointesguide.com/schoolsschool[/quote]
