Our 80’s dance class organised by Funktion Events was everything we hoped for and enjoyed by the whole group. The dance teacher Laura was fabulous, full of enthusiasm and catered perfectly for the range of ages and abilities in our group. Laura went above and beyond to make sure she arrived on time despite having a last minute issue with her car on the day. Some comments from members of our hen party are as follows:

“Lots of fun, easy to follow routine even though I have two left feet!!”
“Great fun, really enjoyed it”
“Best time ever”

The class was just part of what was an amazing, unforgettable day and I thank you very much for the part your organisation played. I have attached a group photo taken at the class.

The whole group loved it, even the people who weren’t confident with drawing. It was so much fun, and also great to see our drawings improve. The hen had a fantastic time!
