Kim Mendez/Tory Trotter ballet at Pineapple - level etc.?

[Second Arabesque]

Hi   - Has anyone here been to Kim Mendez's General/Intermediate ballet at Pineapple on Fridays at 10:30?  I'm just wondering how advanced it is compared to, say, RAD grades?  And also if it gets very crowded, teaching style...and anything else. 

 

Also I would love to try Tory Trotter's contemporary ballet.  Has anyone been?  Is it super advanced and intimidating?!  

 

(I know there are lot of great classes at Danceworks as well as Pineapple, too, but it is a matter of times/days I can make)

 

I haven't been to ballet at Pineapple since the 1980s so just wondering what to expect...if anyone can share anything before I jump in and just go there.  Thanks.
