TESTIMONIALS
“My daughter was a part of Polaris Summer Programs for 3 years. The benefit to the students goes beyond the substantial value offered. The students are exposed to multiple disciplines. The benefit is experiencing types of dance that they wouldn’t during a course of a year due to any number of reasons including budget or times the classes are offered. The students are exposed to multiple teachers. Each teacher brings their own technique and work ethic and the benefit to the student is quickly learning how to interpret instruction and different choreography. The Intensive is just that, Intense. The students benefit from maintaining or increasing their level of cardio, flexibility and the confidence gained appears in their showmanship on stage.” -Heidi
“This will be our daughter’s third year in the summer program. Every time she finds something new to focus on, and gets really inspired by the variety of coursework and amazing choreography. M’Liss and the other instructors are challenging yet supportive and gentle, and the performance at the end of the program is always stunning. The kids learn so much in a very short time!” -Cory
