We moved our kids out of Ballet Conservatory, and a LOT of other families have been doing the same in 2012 and 2013. The management has made a definite turn for the worse, and MANY families are distressed by what they're seeing. There is a difference between demanding excellence and hard work, and being abusive toward students, and there has recently been a distinct shift from the former to the latter, particularly from the head instructor. Other families can give their reasons for leaving, and it is quite a variety. I would be very, very cautious before enrolling a student here; seek out a parent of a FORMER Ballet Conservatory dancer, and ask for their take on what has been happening, and why. You'll get more detail from them than a short internet review can provide, and you can make your decision. Beware, that there are MANY families who have withdrawn, and their stories are worth hearing.
