Review for San Diego Dance Theatre, San Diego, CA, USA
I have been working with San Diego Dance Theater for almost two years now. The day I arrived in San Diego they have been extremely helpful and supportive to me as an upcoming professional. I started dancing in the summer intensive in July of 2009 which they have produced for numerous years. I was able to study technique and reperatory from the company and work with amazing guest faculty. I participated in the annual Trolley Dances that year as well. It was a big deal for me as it was my first real paying dance performance. Trolley Dances really encouraged me to get out into San Diego and share the fact that there is a wonderful dance community in this city. Currently I am volunteering as a work-study student with the company. I help out in the office and performances/events in exchange for discounted classes. As a dancer it is crucial to keep "in shape" with technique and skills only learned in class if taken regularly. This can get expensive, so it is an honor to be given classes that I could otherwise not afford.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
They have provided me opportunities to grow as a dancer and crossed the line of pre-professional to professional dancer. They have shown me support as an upcoming artist in the community by allowing me to showcase my own choreographed work under the San Diego Dance Theater name at festivals and shows.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
give them more money to keep fully funding their projects!
