I wish there would have been reviews written when I was researching dance options for my daughter. This was a very disappointing experience. My first clue should have been when there was only 1 other student in the class who was 3 years older than my daughter. Class always started at least 5 minutes late. The entire class consisted of mostly stretching and then a few twirls at the end. Their definition of 'musical theatre' was sure different than mine and this was commented on by several other spectators watching as well.
Thank you for your feedback. We are always open to suggestions and
take pride in providing the best service possible. Our Musical Theatre
program is very popular and it incorporates flexibility/stretch, jazz
technique, and drama, as all three components are necessary to be successful at it. This is why you saw stretching during the class. Dancers, regardless of the discipline being studied, must have a certain amount of mobility in order to execute the choreography correctly. With regards to the "twirling" you saw, they were most likely working on chaine turns and/or pirouettes -two foundation jazz elements that were being taught to incorporate into the Musical Theatre choreography. With regards to smaller class sizes, this benefits students as they receive more one on one instruction from the teacher and are able to improve at a faster rate. BDC appreciates all feedback and we will continue to provide quality dance lessons where students are taught how to really dance.
