Here's the scoop: "Mr. Antonio, as he is affectionaly called, is a wonderful ballet teacher. He makes the adult student feel welcomed and relaxed. He is very professional, but has a great sense of humor at the same time. The beginning class is relatively small with approximately 8-10 students on an average night. He gives corrections and pays attention to the individual abilities of each student. I only started with Mr. Antonio in September, but I love every class. If you've never had any dance training, the beginning class may be a little fast, but he always accommodates a new student and usually tailors the class to a happy medium of those in regular attendance. Mr. Antonio is also the director of Arkansas Youth Ballet. It didn't happen this year, but other adult ballet students who have been with him a few years say that he uses his adult students in recitals/productions of AYB. Hopefully it will happen next year. If you have a little more ballet under your belt, he also offers an intermediate/advance adult class and a beginning adult pointe class."
