Take a look at what some of our campers and fans have to say!
"Nothing shy of bliss"
Nina Amaya US Camp Events 2008
This is one of my favorite events. Yes, the classes are wonderful, the live music sublime, and the evening parties are famous, but it is the sitting around the table, breaking bread with legendary dance artists, and the wandering through camp as the live music from classes filter through the trees that is most special to me. Tayyar Akdeniz and Artemis Mourat are such warm people, and they set the tone of the camp by the teachers they invite and the welcome they give the campers.

Sarah Skinner for The Hip Circle
"Artemis and Tayyar's Pennsylvania camp offers many benefits, including world-class instruction, small group intimacy, and live music all within a travel time, distance, and money budget accessible for people near the Eastern seaboard.."
