[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TWSB has gone downhill. HoS and her husband are destroying it. She has no business running a school. A Principal dancer with no business acumen or professionalism should not be dictating the future of students who she deems worthy or unworthy. Their PTP A program only has one student who came from TWSB. She is not interested in fostering talent from within which is deeply troubling. Go to MYB. [/quote]

I have no dog in this fight, but I suggest giving Julie a few more chances. The ballet world is hard enough. Her last production (Cinderella) was successful, so who knows... she might have more breathing space to look around and nurture young talent.[/qu

Also no dog in this fight. But as a parent of a DD who danced all the way through school (not at TWSB) --there isn't much time to wait around for any ballet school head to take breathing space. Students who aren't happy with and aren't really developing in a program will leave, word gets around quickly as other students and parents notice people are leaving, and the domino effect can get going. Young dancers are growing quickly and have a certain window for getting the training they need if they want to keep dancing more complex roles. So a slide in a school's program and reputation can create issues from which it could take a very long time to recover.
