Feedback 2009

At the end of our courses we always ask for feedback, either via our online form, or on paper.  Many students and parents wait until they arrive home and then write some lovely thank you letters. Here are a few of the things people said about our 2009 courses.

I liked the high level of the teachers best. I really enjoyed being taught by such experienced dancers. The proportioning of classes and spare time was in a good balance. Not too much, but also not too less. The course gave me also a view on the “English” ballet method, some of the heads and port de bras were completely new for me.

As a parent a saw how my daughter was able to prove to herself that she is really a good dancer, which sometimes they lose sight of after dancing with the same instructors for many years.

I loved the diversity of the program. Each teacher brought their own views and experiences to the program. They were welcoming to all levels and made sure to explain things in different ways so to better fit different learning styles.

I had a great time at your intensive classes and enjoyed performing every piece. Ballet was never my strongest area and I do feel that I improved a great deal with the help of the staff. I, of course, enjoyed the other classes as well! Thanks again for allowing me to take part in your program. It was an experience of a lifetime!

Dear Angela and Tony,
Blanka is in the seventh heaven, She is very proud. What she missed so far is the necessary self-confidence. Thanks to the course, the instructors and classmates now she has got at least some. She has improved in dance, and her English had a real quantum leap. She has had a lot of new friends, she spends hours on facebook  chatting with her new mates.
Best regards,  Vince and Kati

Urbania is the perfect place to enjoy a study holiday, equipped with great studios and such a beautiful little town; shame we weren’t blessed with the best of weather. It was so great to spend our free time exploring the town, going to the swimming pool and eating the amazing ice cream and also picking up some of the language. The course was much more intense than what I had expected but just what I needed to keep in shape over the summer. The standard of teaching was exceptional and I feel that I have learnt so much. It was interesting for me to see lots of ballet repertoire as I don’t come from a ballet background and I am very eager to learn more. The pianist’s music was very inspirational and just made you want to dance. It was interesting to learn musicality in detail and really feel the music. Bens classes were so much fun, he has a great energy and good technical exercises and fun choreography.
