Hear From Our Participants
I loved every second of it! Even in the hard moments everybody continued to support and cheer on each other and that was really cool and different than past intensive environments I’ve experienced!
Eliza Archibeque
Being able to experience this conservatory really opened my eyes up to all that dance has to offer. This conservatory taught me patience, control, exploration, dynamic, character, and to just enjoy the process of art. I feel inspired and I can’t wait to further see what this industry has to offer, especially if it involves CLI!
Yuniel Betancourt
This was the best week of my life and I enjoyed every single second of it. I am so thankful for this experience.
