“It was truly a pleasure and privilege to partner with Pepatián and the amazing team of dancer/choreographers.

The carefully sequenced classes highlighted not only a fantastic diversity of Latine dance vernacular and styles, but also the correlation between each style. It was also a great highlight of the rapport between the dancer/choreographers themselves.

Their energy was great food for our student dancers. Though our students have taken hundreds of classes from dozens of teachers, this was the first time they'd beenable to engage specifically with Latine dances. And for that experience to be provided tailored for them specifically - what treat!

The intimate learning exchange provided the best atmosphere for vulnerability, curiosity, creativity, and connection to manifest.

It was a priceless encounter which I have no doubt has made an imprint on our young dancers' perspectives and awareness around the movement arts 

Thank you Pepatián!”
