“I could not recommend Lindon’s mentorship programme enough. Lindon’s guidance and advice helped me in so many ways, from career guidance to personal advice he truly shaped me into the performer and person I am and played such a huge role in my journey. He has the knowledge and tools needed to mentor anyone and help give them a clearer sense of direction and purpose. He cares so much about each of his students, he wants to and can help his students achieve their goals. Lindon’s mentorship programme gave me the correct groundings to carry through my career and I will always be grateful.”

“For me the mentoring programme really was an eye opener. It really helped to visualise the short term goals and stepping stones on the way to my long term objectives for the future! I believe that knowing how you are going to get to your destination is the key, and I feel that Lindon helped me to realise my goals and how I’m going to get there. I would definitely say I am on my journey now, and I can’t thank Lindon enough for the time and effort he put into me and my individual situation.”

"I genuinely cannot fault The Foundation Programme, the time and effort that went into the course was amazing. The overall format and design of the course was outstanding and the delivery in each session was perfect. I got exactly what I needed out of this course."

"For me the programme was fantastic - the level of research that has been put into this development has really shone through. Upon reflection, the doorway that this has opened for opportunities to learn and delve more into the core foundations of hip hop and its surrounding styles is extraordinary!"
-2020 TFP Participant
"Personally I found TFP incredibly beneficial; it enlightened my understanding of not only the foundations covered, but my perspective of dance as a whole. For me, I would say this change in perspective and new understanding, has already influenced my physical movement in a positive way."

"The programme exceeded my expectations. In terms of dance training/education I hadn’t experienced anything that has gone to the depth of what was taught and explored within this programme. It has been very nourishing and replenishing to have partaken in the energy of what has been created, evolved, and passed on from generation to generation. I feel more empowered in myself through the knowledge and understanding of where some of the culture I live within originates from and connects me to. "
