“I just wanted to send a quick follow-up to thank you and the instructors so much for last week’s Young Dancer program. [My dancer] loved it so much; it was really the perfect program for her – fun, just the right length, really convenient times. She looked forward to it every day, and I’m so glad we signed her up! Thank you all so much for putting on such a great program!”
