“Devon Boorman and the Academie Duello were amazing and gracious hosts, the organization of the event was top-notch, the Saturday Gala was a fantastic high class party, and most importantly, the students were highly skilled and really challenged the instructors to perform at their best. Academie Duello is a truly professional school, and the synergy between students and teachers is amazing. It is truly a model to be emulated in all respects. Thanks to all at Duello for a truly fantastic and memorable event!”
