    It was an amazing experience! I enjoyed the instructor’s techniques in helping me feel confident as this was the very first dance class I’ve ever taken in my entire life! I’m 38... It was a cultural experience as they taught about the traditional dance and drum, in which was used and taught us that dance is not only art but a full body work out!
