Tanz Mom

My DD was in the "inters" group both weeks.  About 18-20 kids in the group.  About the same in the younger and senior groups too.  My DD felt she learned a ton and that her dance improved.  As it was her first residential summer intensive, I believe she also learned alot about being away, getting along with others, etc.  The environment was very good for that type of thing.  Teaching was of a high level, but not pushy.  For us, it was a fantastic introduction to intensives.

My DD attended weeks 1 & 2 of OPES summer intensive and had a great time.  Teachers were friendly and supportive, giving corrections to all participants in a positive way.  Good amount of differentiation in what was taught (ballet, contemporary, etc.)  Accommodations were also very good.  Other kids were welcoming - which was great as my DD went alone.  Would definitely recommend.
