Feedback from the 2007 Intensive:

Getting to know so many alums who were continuing in the dance world was very stimulating.  It was an interesting mix of individuals, interests, ages, and points of view.  Most importantly, everyone seemed sincerely supportive of one another; something that is not always present in the highly competitive field of professional dance. 
– Linda Foster ‘74
