Testimonials
The program was engaging and it was evident that the students really enjoyed the costumes, music and dance, as they joined in clapping and moving! As students left at the end of the day and I asked them if they enjoyed the program, each one said "Yes" or shared a connection they had to the content.

The program was very beneficial to our students. It impacted students of all races and backgrounds. The host/narrator spoke very well and articulated each part of the performance with excitement and great detail. The program offered great education to the students, and the presenters taught through entertainment so the students never felt bored.

The performance today was wonderful! The artists geared their show to our K-1 population. The music, dance, and costumes were colorful and fun. All of our teachers raved about the show, also.
