I think that the types of programs you are offering present a very important type of cultural affirmation for students, as with my Asian student who "loved her Chinese dance teacher". However, I feel that the affirmation extends to the students outside the specific cultural group to affirm for them, as well, the validity of another person/cultural/race, etc. I feel your programs provide an opportunity to experience and to talk about dance, but also to explore issues of identity, culture and belonging that are so critical to young, growing minds. We need to keep the doors open into each other's worlds and dance is such an exciting key to do that with. I can't thank you enough.

Dance 'N' Culture workshops are educational, authentic, and so much fun!!! The instructors and workshops I've experienced so far have been very diverse and have offered a great extension to our school's dance program. The students have benefited not only by learning fun steps and choreography but also understanding the Cultural origins and appreciating the genre for its authenticity. I would highly recommend Dance 'N" Culture for any dance program!!

I highly recommend Dance'N'Culture for any age group, the instructors are amazing! The workshop incorporates a mini lesson on the dance culture followed by a lesson that teaches you simple but fun dance steps. My students couldn’t stop talking about it, they even taught their family members the dances!

It is so important as a high school dance educator that I am incorporating a variety of dance genres into my classroom. Dance N Culture was a fantastic resource that offered a dynamic, level appropriate Bhangra workshop for my students that come from a variety of dance experience and cultural backgrounds. It was fun, high energy, and the instructor’s enthusiasm was infectious. Our students were engaged and were introduced to a world dance form, in an authentic and meaningful way. I highly recommend their services to assist educators in covering the dance curriculum in Ontario in an effective, safe and culturally responsive way.

My class LOVED their Dance N' Culture experience! We learned a Bollywood dance. It was excellent! The teacher was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and scaffolded the dance steps. My students felt confident and supported. I used the checklist provided to me to track their progress through the workshop. The students also learned a bit about Indian culture as it related to the dance we learned. I wish I could have a Dance N' Culture class every week!

We booked Dance ‘N’ Culture to help us teach the dance curriculum and prepare for our Christmas concert. I cannot express how impressed and happy I was with the program offered. The instructor was amazing. The lessons taught were so much fun and directly linked to the curriculum. The instructor was energetic, professional and the students looked forward to her class every week. Her passion and love for dance was evident in her program but so was her passion for teaching kids. The final product was beyond amazing and both staff, students and parents were taking about it weeks after. I look forward to booking with DNC next year!

Dance ‘N’ Culture was great to have as my students learned Bollywood dance and Bhangra dance with some history to both. It was a great fun experience and amazing workout!!

My Grade 11 Dance students had a great experience with her in our Bhangra/Hip Hop Fusion workshop. The instructor structured her workshop well and remained positive and enthusiastic throughout. She met the needs of all learners and paced the lesson effectively. We will definitely remember this amazing workshop. Thank you, Dance 'N' Culture!

The instructor has been an invaluable addition to our team of guest artists in our secondary arts program. Her energy is simply explosive in the studio, and her zoom classes are no less engaging! She was a true professional, offering crystal clear direction in movement and musicality, choreography that adapts to any space, all while demonstrating a keen sensitivity to the needs of the students throughout the class. She truly conveys her passion for the material in each and every lesson, whether teaching in person or on screen! The instructor takes command of the space while offering students a fun, inviting, and exploratory atmosphere where they are motivated to work hard but free to take risks and make mistakes. She expresses a love of Indian dance that instantly engages our students in the material, and they always leave her classes feeling positive, invigorated, and with a sea of smiling faces throughout the studio. We look forward to working with DNC for many, many years to come!

This dance workshop was exceptional. The instructor taught our students a Bollywood-style routine over four sessions that were fun, engaging and enjoyable for all. They were high-energy and very skilled in this style of dance, which is what made this workshop such a success.
