Multi-Cultural Dance Residency at PS 250 Brooklyn:

'We are still receiving enthusiastic feedback from students and teachers. What stands out in the student response is that they were introduced to the great range and variety of African storytelling, dance and son. Your show also informed us of the African American roots of many of our own dances and musical forms. Your blueprint and standards aligned arts presentation furthered teaching capacity while making meaningful connections to the lives of our youngsters.'

--Nancy Wallach, Project Arts Coordinator, PS 219, Brooklyn NYC

'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

'On behalf of P.S. 76 students, parents and staff we appreciate the history behind each dance as well as the interaction with the students. I believe that our school community received a better knowledge of the multi-cultured heritage from an artistic prospective.'

'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
