DV Dojo - out of business
 

Looks like DV Dojo is out of business. Happened to pass by their location the other day and it's all gone. Replaced by a cafe, a bar, and a pool table where the editing room used to be.

At 310 Bowery? That's a shame. Last update on their site appears to be from June 2004.

Yeah they went out of business early last year - found out from the Poetry Club/Cafe next door.. It was a cool place, but I went through a weekend course a couple of years ago just to give it a shot and was not impressed for the price. The knowledge and facilities were all there, but the quality of teaching wasn't quite there.

I never took one of their extended courses, so my mini-review is only half-fair. But their weekend course made no effort to avoid pairing total beginners with those who have some experience. I was frustrated, and it cost quite a bit. And in addition, the second half of the course in my case was by an instructor who very plainly had no training in teaching anyone.
