TIPDI Reviews

The first decade of TIPDI events (with a pause for the pandemic) has 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 every TIPDI weekend.

Below are just some of the things our TIPDI Alums have sent our way about their experience with us. 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.

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!

Greatest idea ever! Usually, I don’t like marathon events like this, but the cross-training idea is terrific.
