Anonymous Testimonials from our New York City Winter Workshop 2022 participants:

“There is nothing more rewarding than to be surrounded by people who leave you in awe and make you feel seen. I feel so grateful for the friends I have made and for adding new inspirations into my life. Forever changed through meeting these people.”

“NVA & Guests reignited my flame and gave me a yearning to want more for and from my art. It's hard to see outside of the scope of what we are told to do, and this intensive breaks that mold, in a supple way, teaching us strength comes from softness. I loved this intensive and I can't wait to do another one!”

“The weekend was full of investigation and exploration in a space where I, as the artist, felt truly supported. The classes felt thoughtfully curated and poignant. It was such a beautifully immersive experience.”

“This workshop provides a great environment to hone your craft. The faculty is supportive; generously sharing techniques and knowledge gathered throughout their careers and encouraging every dancer to grow outside their comfort zone. Also, this is workshop isn't about competing with the dancer next to you. It's about cheering each other on and building each other up, so we can succeed together.”

“The NVA & Guests Intensive was a supportive, nurturing, yet challenging space for me to hone new skills, develop greater sensitivities to being in my body in new ways, and experience a collaborative generative choreographic process. All of the dancers and faculty were of a generous and deeply thoughtful spirit, which really forged a rich creative environment.”

“I highly recommend participating in a NVA & Guests workshop- you will sweat, laugh, learn, grow, expand, and build community.”

“The environment was set-up with such inclusive and positive energy - which is exactly what I feel like our community needs right now. I was so grateful for a space to just learn with my friends and colleagues, with no other outcome than to explore.”
