Testimonials
I can't say enough good things about the Alborada program! They did an upper school show that was perfectly tuned to the audience, and then a middle school program that was similar, but different enough appeal to the younger group. Lisa also did a workshop for 25 9th graders that was awesome! The kids had so much fun and learned a lot in a short period of time. Excellent work!
World Languages Chair, Moorestown Friends School
The assembly was truly excellent. The students were extremely engaged and it was wonderful how the performers led the entire school in a dance at the end of the assembly. The content of the assembly was very informative and exciting for the students to watch (and for the teachers too!).
Music Teacher, Eldridge Park School
They were really fantastic! Their ability to adapt the program to our special learners was truly wonderful.
Music Teacher, Cape May County Special Services School
Excellent program with audience participation. Our students loved it!
Assistant Principal, Villa Maria Academy
I just wanted to say "thank you" so much for coming to the Please Touch Museum to educate the children about Spanish Dance. My daughter (4) thoroughly enjoyed the program and has attempted to imitate Flamenco many times now. My son liked playing the castanets. I was also very impressed with the talent that I saw, and love the emotions exuded through the dancers and musicians.
