What was I worried about?? It was pretty amazing! Laurie, the instructor, was first class and we cannot praise her and her profes­­si­­onalism high enough!! She was just perfect for the age group and what she taught the girls in an hour and a half was fantastic. Great choice of venue too!! Cannot thank you all enough and a big “thank you” from us all! We will use you again !! A first class event that was stress free and fantastic!!!!
