Rogers Ballet

Sharon Rogers is one of the finest ballet teachers around. For proof, all you need to do is look at the success of her students and the loyalty of those who have trained with her for years. I highly recommend Rogers Ballet to students who are serious about training in the art of ballet. more

The teaching is excellent. I highly recommend this studio. more

The ""Buyer Beware"" review is an outright lie and an obvious attempt to inappropriately vent misdirected anger. I have personally know and trained with the Director of Roger's Ballet for 30 years. She is an outstanding educator and mentor to not only her students, but the parents as well. Her excellent moral character would never allow for favoritism and she is completely non-bias. Rightfully so, she does run a tight ship and will not allow for one bad apple to spoil the bunch ... so yes, you will learn real life experiences from her that go well beyond ballet instruction. However, the one that clearly seems to be living in a culture of fear and perpetuating a cut-throat environment is you. Go get the help that you need; the lies are transparent, and if you don't already know, the truth always prevails. more

You not only purchase excellent ballet instruction at Roger's Ballet; but, more importantly your child learns to survive in a real world, cut-throat environment where she/he will receive or, at the very least, witness adult favoritism (and bullying) by the Director. Parents get their monies worth at the for-profit company ran as if it is a non-profit. The studio is on the campus of Friend's University. The Director is an Adjunct Faculty member of the Ballet Department but not on the University's payroll. Leaves one wondering why? Many children have been asked to leave, in part, due to poor conflict management generated by the outdated focal system. Communication with Parents, access to the Director and classroom activity are controlled thru one parent representative per class, the focal. At this level of training and with her expertise the Director ""cannot be bothered"" to communicate with each parent. You may be fortunately enough to be a focal and your child treated with favoritism. Or, you may witness the same as a non-focal family and your child be the least favorite of the Director and ultimately be asked to leave. This generates a culture of fear. Enjoy the benefits of Roger's Ballet. Pros: Ballet Instruction Cons: Fear motivated dance performance more
