[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ms. Edmund was fantastic. I don’t know about that one incident the PP mentioned, but my DD has a great experience with her and she gave the dancers good, solid training and vigorous workouts at the level they could handle. She is also extremely nice.

If this thread is talking about Ms. Wunder, I have to say that my DD also really loved her a LOT.  Yes, she was tough, but she also has a hilarious sense of humor and strikes a good balance between being exacting and understanding that these are still kids. I used to listen outside the class a lot when waiting to drive my DD home, and she was never mean. Sure, she gave criticism. But so what? Our kids can’t always get a trophy every single time. Being tough and being “mean” are not the same thing.

My DD dropped out after doing the spring virtual classes. She thought the virtual instruction was bad, the pace was too slow, and the lack of sufficient individual feedback was a problem. She went from loving ballet to hating it. I was surprised the school didn’t even bother to reach out when we didn’t sign up for classes this year, considering my DD has been with them for many years, was in Nutcracker and other performances, and was a dedicated student. It made me think they didn’t care about her as an individual. Sad. [/quote]

I assume they are talking about Ms. Wunder but that has not been our experience at all.  Dd HATED spring virtual ballet mostly because she missed Ms. Wunder.  Now that she has her again she is so happy to go to class.  Our house is small so I hear everything that is said in class.  She is tough on them but very sweet and patient.[/quote]
