“Thank you Anabella Lenzu for your choreographic guidance and mentorship. I am incredibly grateful for your valuable time, skills, devices, feedback, information and knowledge I gained from your incredible program. I am inspired and look forward to applying what I learned to my own work. This has been a light at the end of the tunnel during such an uncertain time in the world and I genuinely appreciate you for providing this opportunity for the dance world. Anabella challenged our minds and opened up so many doors of useful information. Thank you!”
“This mentorship has brought me leaps and bounds closer and deeper into my creative self. As a working professional trying to continue to grow and learn as a dancer, this was the perfect opportunity to spend some time working on my own choreography and learning about choreography techniques. I appreciate Anabella’s personality and teaching style- it is bright, curious, playful, direct, and she is very sharp- she knows her stuff! I was very impressed by how her extensive experience as a choreographer, dancer and teacher, came out in so many teaching moments throughout the course. I appreciate her passion and willingness to support us as students and artists. I felt really comfortable coming as myself and putting my work out there, knowing that I might have to scratch most of it and start in a different direction. This has opened up something in me that has been asking to be opened for a long time...I have deeply enjoyed this process of starting to choreograph and making time for this challenging, intimate, enlightening, fun, and highly creative process.”
