Hear From Our Students!

Picture
The first two years of TIPDI have been a total blast!  Our student body has hailed from all over the US, as well as from Brazil, France, Germany, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, the Czech Republic, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.  Participants have ranged in age from 20 to 70, and come from all walks of life.  They are an awesome, eclectic bunch of movers who have brought a special energy to our first two years! 

Below are just some of the things our TIPDI Alums have sent our way about their experience with us in 2013 and 2014.  We are super proud of them and delighted at their enthusiasm about The International Partner Dance Intensive! 

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  This was the best dance weekend I have ever experienced.  It was an incredible opportunity and for me it was absolutely fantastic.
- Jeanette, USA
All of the instructors were so warm and friendly and encouraging.  It really made you feel like you were dancing and you felt good about it.

I loved the "back-in-school" atmosphere.  I felt as if we made real connections with each other.
- Cherise, USA


This weekend was like a dream.  I participated in dances I never had a chance to do on my own.  It was such an amazing experience & I made a lot of new friends!

A wonderfully organized event full of great instructors.

TIPDI was one of the highlights of my summer and year, I thank all of you for being the amazing people you are. Fabulous dancing accompanied by fabulous people! It doesn't get any better. Until next time!!

 ... I can't help but talk about the amazing experiences that I had this weekend. I've met so many new people and had many "ah hah" moments. TIPDI has been an experience that I won't soon forget.  I'm already looking forward to next year! 
- Derek, USA


Greatest idea ever!  Usually, I don't like marathon events like this, but the cross-training idea is terrific.  
- Beatrice, Germany/USA
Paula and Ken are my heroes for organizing such an event! It was powerful!.. I'm still recovering from it.. ha ha!  Hugs and Kisses! I'm missing everybody!

I had the time of my life this weekend and learned a hell of a lot.
- Wayne, USA


Can I go back to TIPDI yet?
- Alanna, USA
An amazing weekend: not a surprise, because last time was equally fantastic, but a delight... I know I'll gradually be able to bring the things I learned this weekend into my dancing between now and the next TIPDI--which I'm already looking forward to. Can't offer enough thanks to Paula and Ken for putting it together, to the completely amazing teachers, and to the really cool folks in all the classes. Brilliant, the whole thing.
- Tonia, USA

It's so humbling and inspiring watching dancers of all forms play together. Had an awesome time at TIPDI. Can't wait for next year. ‪
- Jim, USA

TIPDI for me has come to an end. The 3 days have been an experience. All the instructors have been so supportive and encouraging. It was a great time at the farewell party... Thank you Paula and Ken for holding this immersive event.
