DIPESH VARMA

I’m Dipesh! I am 19 years old and thanks to the training I received at ICMD, I was able to obtain a scholarship to study in Paris, the City of Lights, at Paris Marais Dance School, in the heart of Paris, in its historic centre. It’s a school that teaches contemporary and ballet, that teaches both through a global training and that also prepares students to become professional dancers and to join a company.

Obtaining this scholarship required a lot of work and personal self-sacrifice, but nothing would have been possible on my own. I met Pia in Mumbai. She could see me in a ballet class;we had a talk and after knowing my financial situation and my desire to dance she offered me a full scholarship. Training with ICMD really changed my life, it was a game-changer and I had some unforgettable moments. ICMD helped me to grow as a dancer of course, but also as a human being by teaching me how to become a more independent, more mature, more responsible person. Pia has been a great teacher since I met her. She helped me to live in Mumbai, in a big city that I didn’t know, she helped me to put me on the road to success, she helped me to find schools, to record videos for auditions. Without her, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Thanks to Pia, I was able to get scholarships from many ballet schools in the United States.

MALIKKA ADVANI

My name is Malikka Advani, I’m 19 years old. I’m a sophomore at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. I’m a drama major, but I’m also minoring in Dance and Digital Art and Design because I have always been someone who has a large array of interests. That is the reason Prodance was very helpful for me. I not only got rigorous training in dance, but I acquired many more skills. For example I learned about anatomy in relation with movement, we did a lot of breath connection and yoga work, we learned about choreography, rhythm and much more. That, I think is what helped me in my journey and lead me to successfully enroll in the school of my dreams!

ALYA DORMEN

ICMD is a vocational school where passionate and ambitious dancers train to ‘move beyond the ordinary’. I can’t stress enough the friendly and welcoming environment that has always made me look forward to coming to dance. Throughout my years, the faculty has constantly guided me and without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I am currently training in a performing arts school in London, and with the help of Pia, Jessica and Raull, my audition process was made so much easier. I will always be thankful for the experiences, the knowledge, the professionalism, the memories, the friends, the teachers and more.
