Expressions of Appreciation

"My compliments! Never did the sun set for so many at one time with such music, beauty, grace and colors!"
-Monique Gardiner
"Alicia Morena put a program together of such diversity with students who, despite not growing up in the traditional atmosphere, portrayed the spirit of Flamenco unerringly."
-Camille Holzheimer

"The audience gasped as they felt the music and dance transport them to a moment many may never experience in their life. Spanish music and dance can create a multicultural experience in and of itself. Too much history of expression dies because there are no teachers left to teach and to save the gift."
-Bonnie Rose-Wittenberg

"The multi-ethnic, mixed-aged dance group performed with an air of complete confidence, professional attitude, beauty and pleasure." -John Dotson
"The wonderful production of Concierto Homenaje-a Lorca began with photographs, art work, costume displays, and culinary array in the lobby...inside, I had never seen this combination of dance, drama, poetry, music, and staging flow together effortlessly in two languages...a totally satisfying evening for me and the community audience with rounds of applause!"
Steven Kramer

"I attended a performance by scholarship students under the tutelage of Alicia Morena at the Parklane Residence in Monterey. As a professional dancer in the Bay Area, I have never witnessed such excellence of presentation as the youthful dancers created smiles on the faces of the senior audience, many in wheel chairs. Hopefully, these students and others will continue this tradition of inter-generational sharing and contact."
-Paula Ana Reyes

"Thank you for joining me in an effort to provide a meaningful Cultural Festival for our residents."
-Gina Puccinelli

-Bobbie Schacher
