The festival met my expectations twice over. The organization was perfect, our teachers were amazing and so kind, all the complexities and details of the music, dance and songs were well explained and the teachers did their best to give us really good support making sure we really understood everything.
I felt very cared for and received supportive feedback from all the instructors.
I wouldn’t change a thing!
Overall, it was an amazing experience. Travelling to Cuba, experiencing the culture, and seeing and meeting such skilled artists really broadened my horizons and gave me a deep understanding behind everything I was learning in London.
The conference exceeded my expectations.
The musicality class was UNMATCHED. I am certain this will be the portion of the conference that will forever be reflected in my growth.
There really are no words to describe the deep impact the AfroCuban Dance festival experience had on me.
