Nunnbetter Dance Theater

User Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent training and caring atmosphere: This is clearly the bst dance studio in the area. Here's why. Leath Nunn was an accomplished principal ballet dancer with a memorable career. He knows what is needed to become a fine dancer; but he is a fabulous teacher because he infuses his classes with humor and caring as well as an insistence on proper technique. (The rest of his staff follows his lead.) Students here will probably be expected to work harder than other area schools, but they will take away a love for dancing combined with solid basic techniques. Each school year is highlighted by a full scale Nutcracker plus a Spring Performance. Our kids love it, and they are inspired by "graduates" who keep coming back for visits into their college years and beyond.

There Really Is NUNNBETTER!: My daughter has danced in New York for over eight years and accomplished and fine-tuned more technique during her four weeks at NUNNBETTER Summer Dance Intensive in Bergenfield, New Jersey. It was a wonderful experience for her self-esteem and self-confidence - not to mention furthering her respect and love of dance. Leath Nunn shares his love of dance and years of experience in a unique and challenging program allowing young dancers the opportunity to reach beyond what they thought were their limits. He nurtures the creativity of each individual student while developing the skills needed to support a company. Students are taught not only the disciplines needed to perform their art, but also experience the life of the professional dancer through offsite performances, last minute choreography changes, and managing artistic differences to benefit the company. My daughter continued to dance long after this wonderful and enriching experience to any music, in any room - such was the outcome of the four week intensive. I asked if she wanted to spend next summer in Europe with her aunt or another summer at NUNNBETTER and her response was simply, "Europe can wait."
