[quote=Anonymous]Happy parent/daughter here. We left TWSB last year for ABA Akhmedova Ballet Academy (we were level 1B). We love it! Huge space (almost as much as TWSB combined). It’s all PTP, performance and competition (when ready). Pilates studio. Privates that don’t break the bank. They put their hands on the dancers. They fixed my DDs flexibility issues (with lots of home practice foot stretching etc). Vaganova is amazing. I don’t recommend it for people who don’t care about fixing technique. This place is all about preventing injury through quality instruction and it’s small on purpose. Really recommend for 9-12 years who are more serious because you can fix everything before it’s too late. Check out their SI video…

4-5 weeks day program 9:30-3…. Especially for the 9-12 year old range it way towers over what TWSB does for that age range.

Our spring performance is two fully staged shows with ballet and contemporary pieces. I was afraid of missing The Nutcracker but honestly, it was a s* show for the kids auditions and roles.

A couple tips if you’re serious…

1. We have a one week SI 5-8 pm June 10th (after our spring performance and the year round ends).

2. We have a 4 week SI that goes July 15-Aug 9.

You can do a class or private audition for these and you’ll have a taste for what it’s like and then decide.

I don’t know MYB or Seber, but I am sure the other satisfied parents feel what I feel… TWSB is too huge with 900 students and no good school leadership, no strong teacher community, and no track starting at a young age for more serious dancers.

I feel like it was a time and money waste. [/quote]
