“Moonwater has done so much for me. I have participated in both of their summer intensives and intend to continue doing them as well as anything else they start to offer. Before ever dancing at the intensives, I was not nearly as confident as I am now. Moonwater as well as their dancers have the ability to explain things in a way that actually makes you think about it in a way that allows you to figure it out not just choreography-wise, but on your body. They helped me understand that dance isn't just about hitting a move on a certain count, but that it’s movement and it's about how it feels as well as what it looks like.”

“The Moonwater intensive is a place where I can actually be free to move the way I want to, absolutely judgment free. The teachers helped me improve my dancing without making me feel degraded or judged. Overall, dancing with Moonwater has made a huge impact on my life and I definitely wouldn't be in the same place I am today without it. They’ve inspired me in countless ways and made me feel like there is a place for me in the dance world.”

“I have attended Moonwater summer intensives for years and I have come away with a newfound appreciation for my body and the way I move. Oftentimes as a dancer I can get stuck in the mindset that I’m dancing for other people and that I should move how they want me to but throughout both weeks of the intensive there was an emphasis on embracing your uniqueness. There was also an emphasis on supporting one another and building your own confidence while also building up the women around you. The support that’s fostered in the studios at Moonwater intensives has grown my confidence about my dancing and my body and just in general. I’ve met new friends and connected with teachers who have gone through the same things that I am experiencing in my life right now. There is nothing I could or would want to trade this experience for and I feel so lucky that Moonwater is a part of my life.”
