I have seen the PBT presentation of The Nutcracker several times, but this may have been the last…read morefor me. I enjoy the Pittsburgh references to the story and in the scenery but, really, the hockey-stick-carrying penguin, the rats waving "terrible towels" were a bit strange. As were the "local celebrities" who were given non-speaking, non-dancing (thankfully!) roles as party guests-- why?? What could be next? Pittsburgh Dance Moms in minor roles? Apparently I prefer a more traditional version of The Nutcracker. I missed some of the costumes and dances from the original Balanchine production. I know that some will say that it's predictable and static to do this the same way every year, but when I think of this ballet, it is what I want to see. That being said, the dancers were wonderfully talented and executed their movements perfectly. We are fortunate to have their talent in Pittsburgh!

I know enough about ballet to know that it is significantly more difficult than it looks. These…read moredancers have full body control and it is impressive to watch. I will say it is a nice outing and it feels fancy and it pulls you in. They also send a lot of flyers in the mail and you can find reasonably priced shows. I've seen the Nutcracker a couple of times and even a couple of years ago I saw a street named desire the ballet, which was so unique and a cool experience.

A friend suggested that I check out Donna's and I'm glad we did! First of all, Donna is extremely responsive. She usually answers email inquiries within an hour or so, but I've never waited longer than a day for a response. In correspondence with the school they are always polite and informative. One of the selling points for me on this studio is that they don't push you to buy a million things and their tuition is affordable. Kids in the three and four year old combination class aren't required to wear anything particular and aren't required to purchase shoes until they know they are performing in the recital. That is a huge relief considering you never know how kids are going to be in terms of sticking with something. Another perk is that boys dance for free at this studio! They just have to pay the registration fee and then a costume fee if they choose to dance in the recital. This is an amazing option if you have both a son and a daughter. The studio itself is well lit, clean and spaced out. There is a large waiting area for parents where we can see in to the classroom and check out with the kids are up to, but the kids can't really see out to the parent area. The studios are spacious and mirror lined. Everyone we've interacted with at the studio is extremely friendly and my kids absolutely love their teacher and the aide. If you are looking for a dance studio, I highly recommend you check out Donna's.
