FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS
 8/11/2011

I work my backside off here and love every minute of it.  Yes, the adult classes are for people who have had some (or lots of) ballet experience, but the teachers are really great and there's none of the attitude you run into at some of the studios in the City.  While I understand that there's a time and place for them, I'm not terribly excited about instructors who "give" class like they're on autopilot, with little or no interest in actually teaching.  You won't run into this at Shawl Anderson.  All of the instructors I've taken from--Wendy, Rachelle, Coco, and Marcia--are thoughtful, thorough with their explanations and demonstrations, and engaged in their instruction--and I'm a better dancer for it.

Item Special Note

*The gift card may not be used for summer camps, intensives, workshops, or master classes or for any class where a teacher is paid directly by students rather than through the front desk.
