It was great to know some of the history and inner workings!

I know how much work goes into that craziness, and the event ran so smoothly and the vibe was SO GOOD! Thank you for the spectacular teaching line up. I've never seen a line up with such depth at a workshop before. More of that next year, please! I'm so inspired. My company is happy and inspired. My students are ecstatic. It's an awesome thing you guys do each year. Thank you so much!

I got a lot out of this event. I love that there were workshops devoted to technique, some to expression and some to history and theory (yes yes yes).

I do attend a lot of cons, but only one dance con, and that's TribalCon. I really miss it already! It is so great to be in the same place with people who love what you love, too. I met a bunch of really cool, crazy people. :) I'd like to say thanks to Ziah and the staff for putting on such a great event. And thank you so much to you guys for getting the three dream instructors I'd requested for this year, plus bringing back favorites from last year. You know I was *hoping* to get at least one, I didn't imagine that I would get them all. I can hardly believe I was so blessed!!!
