and the environment comfortable and friendly."
Marina Z., longtime student
What made you decide to continue your study at Peridance?
"I felt the need to continue my dance training for a bit longer, after finishing the Limón Program. Peridance was an easy choice, due to the flexibility they have in choosing the classes you want to take. Moreover, I got the opportunity to work part-time as a dance teacher, as part of my curricular practical training. I used to work a lot as a dance teacher back home in the Netherlands, and I started to miss the interaction with students. So this was the perfect combination; continuing my dance studies while being able to teach!"
What do you like about the classes at Peridance?
"It's nice that I can adjust Peridance's classes to my daily schedule. It allows me to explore different teachers and find the ones I understand and my body works well with... I now have 4 or 5 favorite teachers. I return to their classes regularly because they all have improved my understanding of dance substantially."
"I found it so exciting to go to so many different classes. It was a lot of information and impressions, but it was totally worth it. It was also great to take other classes to discover that the principles of the Humphrey/Limon technique are a great help and very adaptable to other dance styles too. Once I found the additional classes and the styles and teachers I wanted to follow at Peridance, it was just an amazing journey, ready to make you grow!" - Helen Hannak, Germany
"Peridance is a great place to take class. I have always found the teachers to be supportive and knowledgeable, and the environment comfortable and friendly." - Marina Z.
"I chose Peridance because this is the school that corresponded to my expectations and especially there are many teachers, workshop and it's a great place to grow and learn. The administrations people are always here for helping you. The atmosphere In Peridance is like family between dancers unlike other schools in NYC where I could feel a certain competitions and strange atmosphere between dancers. Peridance is a really great school that's why I want to stay longer. This school gives real opportunity for dancers." - Lisa Bathily, France
"It's a very good experience for me, I learned a lot from the program. And I think it challenge myself. The faculty members here are so amazing. It absolutely meet my expectations." - Yun Zhou, China
"I finished high school at the end of last year. Dancing has always been a major part of my life, I was unsure if I wanted to be a dancer or follow other paths. I decided to take a year off to travel and come over here and give this program a go! As much as I loved it, it has made me realize that I have dance in my life as an outlet and hobby, it is not a fulltime activity for me. This program has shown me how to incorporate dance in my daily life." - Chelsea Casey, South Australia
