'Thomas is one of the finest teachers I have come across. His talent in developing bodily awareness and qualitative sensitivity in movement of the whole body initiated from within the core is remarkable.' Dr. Jacqueline Smith Autard; Author of Dance Composition and The Art of Dance in Education

'Thomas is doing unique and progressive work in the field of body awareness. He brings life, breath and personality to the work' . Prof Kurt Koegel  Director of the Master’s Program in Contemporary Dance Pedagogy Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt am Main

'Thomas is an inspiring teacher. He has a deep knowledge of the body, of dance and theatre history as well as current practice and issues in arts and culture. His has an insatiable curiosity and abundant enthusiasm, which he channels into making things happen. Thomas models that boundaries can be transcended and that knowledge is for all. His teaching style is generous, clear, informed, playful and delightfully human.'KathyCrick (  Dancer, Lecturer )

Thomas Kampe is an exceptional teacher.He is tireless in his energy and dedication to the lives and work of his students, and supports their development as artists, dancers and people in visible, practical and effective ways. His groundbreaking work with Feldenkrais feeds into contemporary dance with great effect. It acknowledges the creativity and authentic functionings of both the body and the person and is profound in the training of articulate, expressive and intelligent bodies and individuals. His work is current and innovative and entirely centered upon the development of the people with whom he works. Lizzy Lequesne (choreographer/writer; editor of Tanec Praha/Dance Prague magazine)UK

Thomas’ presence as a teacher inspires students to reach for greater depth and authenticity in movement expression – an educational gift which is uniquely supported by the breadth of his experience, and his depth of knowledge of the body. Thomas is dedicated to developing the full creative potential of each student, and works diligently to bring each student’s aspirations into real experience JANET KAYLO DIRECTOR OF LABAN/BARTENIEFF & SOMATIC STUDIES INT'L CANADA

Thomas Kampe is an excellent teacher, who has over 24 years of experience in teaching and performing. As a participant in his classes I could sense his experience in the somatic approaches towards movement education. This approach was new to me and it gave me a special and delightful understanding of the CI bases. Gál Eszter Dancer, Teacher, artistic director of Kontakt Budapest

Thomas is a natural, lively and committed teacher of dance. He has maintained and continues to share that rare gift without which nothing of much value can be learned - love. Quite simply he cares enough to deliver teaching with passion, patience and a light humorous touch to bring about success.Colin Poole (choreographer in residence Royal Opera House/Place Prize Finalist) UK

Thomas Kampe is known worldwide as a senior practitioner of the contact improvisation dance form. His unique skill is transmitting information in such a way that diverse communities can find easy access to becoming both practitioners and performers of the dance.Martin Keogh ( Contact Improvisation practitioner/Dance Maker) US 

Thomas is a teacher with a wealth of experience who combines his knowledge of theatre and direction with a deep understanding of anatomically led movement principles. Adam Benjamin  Author of : Making an Entrance: Theory and Practice for Disabled and Non-Disabled Dancers; Routledge 2002

I have known Thomas Kampe's work from numerous classes and workshops I took .I deeply appreciate his work. With no other teacher I experienced the combination of anatomy based detailed exploration into set material and improvisational settings. The frame he provides to find essential connections within the body through the Feldenkrais Technique and to easily open the space afterwards for a three dimensional dance is extraordinary.Joerg Hassmann( dancer)Germany
