"You managed to deliver process, content, philosophy,
pedagogy and the soul and artistry of dance in the course. I was truly amazed and inspired. I also appreciate how
empowering you were to us as individuals and how you were able to make such graceful corrections without criticism. The
dinner (Saturday night) was a special treat, and fortified the sense of community you had already developed in the course."
~Sharon Stahl, VT
"And I want to thank you, thank you thank you. The Teacher Intensive has turned my method of teaching inside
out, and after all these years I’m looking at my classroom experience with a new, fresh set of eyes. What a gift...I
feel the same excitement and curiosity I did as a new teacher! I’ve attended master classes since I was a young student,
but this seminar was truly unique and enlightening. I had expected you to be well prepared, because you always are.
What surprised and blew me away was the open and heartfelt exchanges and sharing amongst the rest of us. Wow! So
much great information and food for thought that I haven’t digested it all yet."
