The good....my daughter learned something about dance. \r

The bad .... my daughter learned a lot about "it's who you know" in order to be given a fair chance, and once you've shown some individualism (vs. "Nancyism") you will be forever ignored, and as some in the past were, exiled from the studio. Some were discharged with letters and no explainations, no personal words to girls who'd danced over ten years. Way to influence young ladies... when they were never the problem. \r

The good... there are other dance schools in town. The more schools you try/experience, the more you learn how much Nancy's was lacking in basic ballet technique, an area they "excel" in - whatever.
