The school, for us, seems to be largely riding on its legacy. Many of the other parents at the school were dancers there previously, so as "outsiders" we often felt out of the loop and that a lot of the things we needed to know weren't widely broadcast because it was seemingly assumed that we just knew what was going on. Our girls started in September, but in January we discovered we had not been receiving any email communications from the studio. Mistakes happen, but the dates and times of the year end recital had changed, which meant family who wanted to come see the performance didn't have enough notice to change their schedules; had we received those initial emails in the fall they would have had time to adjust their vacation schedules. Once we began receiving emails it still seemed as if we would only get some of what was sent out as more often than not we should show up for class with some kind of special event going on that we had no clue about (and yes, we regularly check our Spam so the communications were not ending up there either). Also, whole emails were used sometimes important announcements were just made to the parents in the waiting room, meaning if you weren't there or stepped out to run an errand during class you missed out and had no way of knowing what, if anything, you might have missed. Overall, the communication from the studio to parents was very poor. While communication was one big issue the larger one was that parents were really just viewed as means to write a check every month. Parents were forbidden to go in to the dance studio (beyond the waiting room) and to talk to the teachers. While we certainly understand the problems of having parents in the studio creates and that you can't have a line of parents harassing the teacher after lessons, causing the next hour of lessons to run late, it's problematic when you are dealing with 3-4 year olds who aren't the best communicators. We never got any kind of feedback or assessment from the teacher or studio as to how our girls were doing in class, if or what they should be practicing at home, if they possessed any natural aptitude for dancing, and if they even seemed to enjoy it. For older students, that's not a problem, but for the parents of toddlers it's a very frustrating place to be. Our girls often seemed reticent to go to class saying they didn't like it, but then would be very excited and happy after class, so who knows. We eventually got frustrated enough with the place that we pulled our girls out in April because we were over not knowing how or what our children were doing for that hour each week they were in class and because we continued to receive very poor instructions from the studio about what was expected of us / what we needed to do. One week they were supposed to show up in full recital attire. We never were told they needed to do so that week and then were given the hasty instructions of "just dress them up next week" without any specifics of what they should wear, how their hair should be, or what make up they needed. Again, it was all assumed that we just knew all these details. As far as I can tell, the teachers do a good job with the students. Our girls, over time, did show us some steps they learned and they even performed their routine for us after we un-enrolled from the school. We felt horrible about doing so since they had worked hard all year, but we had no confidence that we would actually receive the instructions and feedback we needed to put our children in a place to succeed at the recital. The older students who were there seemed to really like it. For us, though, the school seemed very focused on the competition aspect of dance and less on the artistic expression aspects. Our perception on that might be incorrect, but that was just the vibe we got, which was also not what we were really looking for in a dance studio. In any case, if our girls decide they want to continue dancing we will find a different dance school to take them to.

I am still a beginner and I have found that many ballet schools do not take adult ballet very seriously, but Miss Nadine does. Combinations are designed to develop and solidify good technique. Her corrections were frequent, helpful, and relevant to each dancer's level. The studio was bright and airy, the music was beautiful, and I'm certain there were more than a few current or former pros in the class. My classmates were welcoming and by far the friendliest I've experienced while traveling. What a wonderful experience -- I'm only sorry that I didn't find this studio sooner for my biannual visits to Lancaster.
