I want to take the opportunity to thank you for the classes and for the encouragement. I know I would have been a wreck if it wasn't for the beginners class and for all the clinics I attended. You helped me out tremendously, not only to get into shape and to understand what was ahead, but to help me and the other woman get mentally prepared as well! I look forward to next year to the Danskin and to what the intermediate class has to offer!
