What our Trainees say…
“The passion from the trainers is inspiring to see and how the room lightens up. Don’t have to be an experienced dancer.”
“I was equipped to assist potential dancers in the movement that will target movement restrictions.”
“I liked the two days, learned a lot and will take it back to my facility with confidence.”
