Experiences from studying abroad
'I believe that coming half way around the world to study reinforced my passion for dance. I was inspired, terrified, confused and successful every single day that I was there.'
Allison Kimmel, gaststudente bij de Theaterschool in 2009

'Being at the Alvin Ailey School has thought me a lot. I’ve become more mature 'dancer than I was before. I learned that as a dancer you’ll have to be on point every single day and every single class to better yourself.'
undefined Clement Mensah, gaststudent aan de Alvin Ailey School
