Vanessa Isaac has a profound gift for creating a sense of home in the dance. Her love of her country and culture is infectious, so much so, that you want it to be your country and culture too.... Samba is no easy feat, and Vanessa was incredibly patient with me as I learned the cadence of the samba language. I reconnected to the beauty of my body and what it was capable of. Vanessa teaches, encourages, supports AND challenges you as you discover who you want to be as a dancer. She is an incredible ambassador for dance and Brazilian culture, but she is also a genuine, kind and loving human being...

Adriane Butler, Dancer

I have never in my life experienced the kind of freedom, confidence and joy that I feel with Vanessa. To have a teacher so grounded, creative, and inspiring has truly been a gift. (Vanessa) you give so much to all of us, and for that I want to say thank you, thank you, and thank you.
