We feel to lucky to have found this amazing ballet school. My 8 year old daughter has improved here through a combination of technique focused instruction and highly effective and kind teachers. This school also has a preprofessional company and students are taught about auditions, performing, and professionalism from a young age.
My daughter has loved to dance since she was a toddler, and through this school has improved in both her dancing and her responsibility as a member of a community. She has made good friends and as a young child can see how members of a community need to work together for the good of all. During a recent performance my child had a slight fumble. Afterwards, I saw one of the older dancers whisper something to her. Later I asked her what he said, and felt such gratitude when she told me that he told her that she did a good job. This simple kind act by a talented older dancer made something that could have been so upsetting to her instead become just what it was, a little life stumble that she could move on from.
I have also been impressed with how the director and teachers have responded during the Covid pandemic to keep their students passion in dance alive while stressing safety protocols. They were able to dance the Nutcracker, and it definitely helped both my dancer and myself having that normalcy and joy ending this challenging year! The show was also made available to students in classrooms by video this year. In a normal year, the dancers do four live shows for students who may not otherwise have the opportunity to be exposed to this art form and I think it says something significant that Imagine was not even letting a worldwide pandemic break this tradition. Thank you IBT for all you do my both child and children in our community.
