Accolades and cheers:

"The more the days go by, the more I feel it was like a dream that we were dancing in Castiglioncello. I love dancing. I love it even more after dancing in Italy."
TOMOKO KAMIMURA, Webster University.

"My experience at Pro Danza Italia/USA gave a jumpstart to my teaching, and invigorated me as an artist, choreographer and performer. What a privilege it was to begin and end everyday with dance and use the time in between to enjoy the spectacular countryside in italy. The teachers brought depth and unique perspective to their classes, and the other dancers brought variety from around the world. I will look back on this program with great fondness and gratitude."
SARAH RUTLEDGE, professional dancer and choreographer and Chair of the Dance Department of the Chapin School, New York City

'This was by far the best summer of my life, without exaggeration... Thank you."
FAYE Yvette McQUEEN, dancer and dancer teacher, Atlanta, Georgia

The most fulfilling experience I have ever had both in dance and for me personally. I have attended workshops with numerous well-known dance companies, who may deliver when it come to technical training, but the personal touch is nonexistent."
SARANDON CASSIDY, professional dancer, Los Angeles, CA.

"Un esperienza indimenticabile per un'italiana abituata ad altri metodi di lavoro nella danza, forse altrettanto validi, ma nei quali manca questo senso del gruppo, questa gioia di danza insieme, e soprattutto quell'energia positiva che e' uno stimolo per ogni danzatore a qualunque livello a migliorarsi, a confrontarsi, a dare meglio di se' e ad esprimersi pienamente. Arrivederci a ProDanza 2004!!!"
SABRINA PAOLETTI, dancer, choreographer & teacher, Danza Viva, Novara, Italy
