"I have known and worked with Jose for 20 years. It's been wonderful to watch him develop into a mature artist. Also now that he has started to teach gives me great pleasure. Jose brings every performance to a higher level, he is very special in every way."

"Amongst New York ballet teachers, Jose Traba is one of he finest. His fusion of ballet and cross training is unique."

-David Howard

“As a choreographer his work incorporates classical to contemporary and the creativity seems to flow from his being with ease. In short, Jose is a valued colleague. His energy is endless and I as well as the entire artistic staff of the SC Summer Dance Conservatory value his artistic talent.”

“Mr. Traba is a true professional. His gentle and unassuming manner makes it very comfortable to work with. He is conscientious and accommodating to meet the needs of the production. We recommend Mr. Traba highly, especially with working with pre-professional students.”

"Jose Traba is her (La Fille Mal Garde, principal dancer) true/love suitor, displaying a noble demenor, and a virile pounce. He has an ability to flesh out the choreography with something geuinely a kin to the grand manner. He is a dancer to watch"
