Overall, this school offers sufficient training, highly knowledgeable main teachers, and a beautiful studio space. However, there is room for improvement. The guest teachers can be hit-or-miss, the schedule gets too tight during show season, and the student facilities (lockers, fridge, microwave) aren't enough for everyone. Since the school recently got a new director, I'm sharing this constructive feedback to help them grow. There is great potential here!
