Testimonials

"The course was fantastic. I felt my technique improve everyday. The teachers were phenomenal. Ben’s choreography was great I really enjoy his style and I will definitely do a course with him again."

"I had a great experience these last two weeks and I felt I had learned a lot and really enjoyed the programme, the dance classes were incredible and learning Italian was very interesting."

"In questi giorni di stage abbiamo conosciuto nuovi aspetti di noi e della danza: La capacità di osservare e utilizzar totali lo spazio e pensar all’importanza di ogni parte del proprio corpo. "

"I loved the diversity of the program. Each teacher brought their own views and experiences to the program. They were welcoming to all levels and made sure to explain things in different ways so to better fit different learning styles."

"Attending Dance Master Class was like having done a long journey. I am sastisfied of the classes and your professionalism. I might have liked having some more corrections during ballet classes but I have learned a lot anyway especially when I was reminded to practise and listen to the music! I was very impressed by your humanity and generosity as well. You work with heart and this makes me feel happy."

"The teachers are good and the choreographies are very nice, for those who are reaching "perfection" (if it exists) as well as those with a lower dance level and with less experience."
