| "Thanks - you are inspirational, positive, and the healthy approach you are encouraging assures your affinity with a future of more mentally stable children." | "The 3 hours went by very quickly! I loved the enthusiasm and the endless ideas you shared with us. Thanks for coming!" | "Great job! I learned a lot and felt like you taught using the exact methods you want us to use to teach children. I wish you guys had been my teacher!" | "Thank you ladies! You did a great job of keeping my attention for 3 hours - and gave us many great ideas!" |
| "I liked the energy of the presenters and the group participation. I come from a dance background, and it's good to see how creative movement can be applied to new dance situations." | "I liked the way you made it comfortable for everyone to participate, be open, expressive, and full of fun. You modeled the way we could do creative movement with the children." | "The activities you chose to demo were new and opened my eyes to ways we can introduce creativity and movement activities in class. The props (everyday things) that you could have so much fun with is just great!" | "Great -- informative and fun -- I am always uncomfortable participating in this type of seminar. But I felt comfortable and had fun -- thanks for helping me open up!" |
