"Timothy has an extensive dance knowledge coupled with a deep understanding of Alexander Technique. This unique combination means that during the SDI I experienced several new insights that caused me to rethink my approach to technical execution. I also very much enjoyed watching Timothy work with other dancers - he has an unbelievable way of quickly homing into what matters most for each individual, and it was so pleasing to see dancers visibly growing as the course progressed. I look forward to my next opportunity to work with Timothy." - Diana

"If you have the opportunity to attend the next Dance Intensive program, go for it!" - Audrey

"The content in both courses I cannot fault, we seemed to cover so much and the variety was an excellant mix." - Azaria
