Review content:
There's no way this studio can claim it's teachers are pros. Yes, some girls get individualized attention, but they are not getting CORRECT instruction. I danced there for many years, believing the ""hype"" that they were the best, etc. Then I took a class at another studio (and have since switched) and was BLOWN AWAY at the difference. I was embarrassed at how much I DIDN'T know, and I had been dancing with Harrison's for over 10 years. There were basic head, and arm positions, and simple ballet terms that I didn't even KNOW. The past reviewer who said Harrison's teachers are Harrison's graduates is right. I think that is how the professionalism has been lost. It's like ""whisper down the lane"" of technique, eventually it gets lost in translation. I even feel sad for the girls (AND parents shelling out all that $) who remain at Harrison's and think they're getting professional training! Now outside looking in, it's almost like I was brainwashed into believing I was in a good school. You'll notice all the good reviews here are from current Harrison's students (who believe they're in a good school because they DON'T know better!) and the only other review is a former Harrison's dance mom who (luckily) found her way out and sees things exactly like me. Do not waste your money. However, I will say that I have few complaints about Harrison's Jazz and Tap companies (led by Debbie Harrison). BUT if you want QUALITY and PROFESSIONAL ballet training, Harrison's is NOT the place to be. If you want to learn partnering. FORGET IT! There are only creepy MEN who assist with partnering training. And the partnering that they do is acrobatic, yes, but pretty, and graceful NO. One of the men who did partnering while I was there was like 50 years old, out of shape, smelled like cigarettes, and was always around while girls would be changing off stage. Weird, huh? \r
And the former dance mom that said the recitals were long and brutal at almost 4 hours was NOT exaggerating.
Cons: Expensive tuition for questionable training.
