“Camille A. Brown & Dancers makes them [students] excited to try.”
— Aurora Barnes, Founder of Girlstalk/Guystalk Program
“Not only a well thought out project implemented by Camille A. Brown & Dancers; it is an overall experience… powerful social impact”
— Michelle Durante, Director of Arts at Sports & Arts in Schools Foundation
“Hands on, personal and relevant… The satisfaction and pride our students exhibited after the workshops was the real indicator of how connected they were to Camille and the work”
— James O’Brien, Principal at Brooklyn Community Arts & Media High School
“We explored in a joyful way and were given space to express and encourage our own experiential understanding of EBM philosophy...this leads us to reflect on our own teaching and philosophies as well and impacts our organization as a whole as well as individually as we embrace opportunities to grow along with our students. Simply, we had a really fun time dancing together and it served as a bridge to opening up to learning more about non-euro-centric dancing and teaching. Centering black voices, embodying dancehall, and inquiry-led conversations.”
— Calia Marshall, NDI Teaching Artist & Equity Advocate.
