----------------------- To all the parents out there who are…read moreconsidering this ballet school, please read this review: ---------------------- Years ago I was a student at this ballet school. Nadine Cole was my teacher. Nadine had excellent knowledge of ballet, but unfortunately that did not make her a good teacher. She was extremely abusive to me and the other girls at the school. I remember a time when this teacher made a girl dance until her feet bled though her shoes. She would point out a student who she believed had a perfect ballet body and then compare other students to that model saying they were overweight. These girls were very young, perhaps 11 or 12. It was not above the teacher to scream and yell at her students. She would smack rulers against the ballet bars to scare the girls. Many girls would cry after leaving the class. I personally felt terrible and ugly, and it took many years for me to feel comfortable with my appearance. I usually cried after every class. Our daughters deserve better. Ballet is beautiful and can be taught in a positive way. Save your daughters from the pain and suffering I and so many others experienced. Please find a teacher who can encourage your daughter and help her became a strong woman.
