Accademia dell'Arte

This program solidified my passion for dance and made me want to continue incorporating it into my life as a career. Everyone was very encouraging and talented. I was so inspired from others but also found my own self worth because each of the student's movement was authentic and appreciated for what it was. I grew so much as a person in just 3 months and am so grateful to have participated.

The Accademia has brought confidence and curiosity back into my work. It has given me new means to explore my creative processes and gotten me to a point where I feel not only ready, but excited to make work. At the Accademia I was able to reopen parts of my body and brain that had closed and shielded themselves, I was able to conquer a creator's block that had been going on for almost a year, and I re-awoke a passion for learning that had been buried by doubt and overstimulation. My body and mind have found new levels of awareness, articulation, a patience.

Being here has helped me realize what kind of artist I want to be and what I want to do with my life. This program has really solidified the fact that I don't really want to do anything with my life other than dance and be involved in the arts. This program has also helped me develop more creative skills - in my artistry with dance, my musicality, and in choreography. -Dance Spring 2016
