[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your daughter is young enough that Kirov or WSB could be options...

However, I would encourage you to keep your daughter at a studio in nova. There are many studios where she can get a great education, while enjoying dance and being in a more nurturing environment than "the best schools."

The environment is demanding, damaging, and unless your daughter truly lives to dance I don't think it is worth it.

My daughter "lived" to dance, and we made WSB work for our family and her, but it wasn't glamorous. I asked her often if she was sure she wanted to dance there. I wouldn't have let her unless I saw the passion for dance she had.

At least try a few private lessons before she enrolls.

But, to answer your question, I think WSB is the strongest studio in the area. But there are other great options where she could still be prepared enough to do YAGP, and intensives (ravel, Russel, [b]va dance conservatory)[/b][/quote]

I would avoid VDC. The director (former assistant director at Adagio) is aggressive in her body critiques and diet recommendations.[/quote]
