I was compelled to write this review, after a frustrating experience with another ballet school Master Ballet Academy. My daughter attended the Master Ballet academy for 6 months, and was in tears almost every day. She is a very driven girl, and her frustration was based on the fact that she felt that the teachers were paying attention to the top 20 percent of the class. The classes were about 25 girls, and the teachers were making majority of corrections to the top 5 girls, when I confronted Ms. Irena about that, I received a rather stern speech, explaining to me that it is physically impossible to make the correction to all of the 25 girls. Did I see her class? If my daughter needs personal attention, she needs to take private classes Well I saw her class, and I felt that there must be something better out there. Now after attending the Arizona School of Classical Ballet for over a month, I am pleasantly surprised by the radically different approach of Ms Nadya and her staff. They make you feel like a family, my daughter enjoys every lesson and feels that finally someone takes time to explain to her the details and nuances of the technique. We can’t be happier. I watched the way that the lesson was taught to the girls(by the way the classes are much smaller), I was very impressed with the degree of professionalism of the teachers. One more thing — when my daughter forgot her leotard at home, the school let her use some that they had!!! Can you believe that! Thank you Ms Nadya
