'Our whole school learned so much about African American cultural influences in current songs and dances of today as we watched, listened and moved along with you. The students had such a wonderful opportunity to participate in the dancing with the performers creating a truly, exciting experience. On behalf of T.G. Connors School, I send a heartfelt appreciation to the Phyllis Rose Dance Company for a wonderful show. Performances such as these make a positive difference in the lives of children'

'Dynamic, Awesome, Entertaining, Educational…only begins to describe the presentation your company made to our students at Turtle Hook Middle School. Students were thoroughly engaged as they reminisced about their Hispanic cultures, or learned about the cultures of other Hispanic countries. Thank you for affording all of our students the opportunity to learn, have fun, and explore as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Ole!'

--Mrs Annette O’Ferrall, Principal, Turtle Hook Middle School, Uniondale NY

'The Phyllis Rose Dance Company has consistently helped us here at Hall School develop a positive learning environment that integrates all students of various racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds. The company has worked with our staff to incorporate global study lessons that assist the students and teachers in understanding various cultures of the world. The experience has always been both rich and diverse. With the partnership of The Phyllis Rose Dance Company we have been able to give not only Hall students, but also the suburban schools we collaborate with via an Inter-district cooperative grant, exposure to art, culture, dance and music of a global nature. Phyllis, thank you for being such a willing and collaborative partner in educating the whole student, and encouraging every student to think critically and in a diverse manner.'

--Charles V Framularo: Assistant Principal , Hall Elementary School

'We particularly enjoyed the historical and educational introductions to each dance piece. This gives the audience an understanding of the culture and origins of each dance. We also enjoyed the audience participation. This allows the volunteers to show some of what they learned in the dance class and during the show.'

--Ms. Molotchev: Dance Educator, Arts Coordinator William Floyd School, P.S. 59 Brooklyn NY

'Your two performances of Step Lively Please! Latin & Hispanic Heritage Celebration were a great introduction for our students to learn more about Spanish and Latin American cultures. Our students and teachers particularly enjoyed the audience participation involved with your program. The music and folklore of the performance, along with the colorful costumes, captured the children’s imagination and provided a starting point for continued activities in the classroom'
