Poor quality videos are used (grainy/fuzzy) that put you to sleep. REFUSES to answer any exam questions, REFUSES to clarify something you question her on.

I hated ballet before having her class and was taking it for the Dance Major. After having Marlene, I can say that I love ballet and she is the reason. I love Marlene so much, she's tough but reasonable, and I can't wait for ballet with her next semester.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1247221","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:14:38.086371+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTQyNTU3Njc1","source_instructor_id":"rmp:3154313","instructor_name":"Natalia Hildner","course_label":"DANCE165","course_id":"DANCE 165","course_uid":"course_ca95d78f82c67de0c84012fd","review_date":"2026-01-28 03:46:20 +0000 UTC","comment":"Natalia is a caring teacher, but her lectures weren't consistent with each class, the slides weren't organized, and the system for participation was not well thought out.

She changed the syllabus many times and was extremely unorganized. Participation takes up much of your grade and the only way you can earn points is by talking in class. This is difficult when she only calls on a small selection of students. She is a kind person, but her course was very frustrating.

You are required to go to one dance performance for 5% of your grade ($20+) and when it came down to grading she gave me 0% after spending my money. The course was extremely unorganized and 40% based on participation even though she called on the same people. Do not recommend.

The quizzes are exactly what is covered in lecture. As long as you take notes during lec and review a tiny bit before quizzes you'll get an A. The papers are 2 pages each, and you have to go to a dance performance to write them. Overall, very enjoyable class.

I thought it was going to be just an easy A, but there was a little bit of work to study. She outlines all quizzes in a study guide that, if you do the study guide, you can easily achieve an A on. Super fun and energetic to have, and studio days were a great way to get out of the classroom.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2144043","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0}]
