Testimonial

Hi Bridget, Many thanks for such a fun yet impactful class yesterday – the 80’s music was a treat! I always hear people talking after class about  what a great teacher you are – and I agree! The fact that the Saturday class is always filled, that people of all ages attend and that so many people keep coming back is testament to your ability to observe, assess, keep it meaningful and demonstrate that you care. Living in the city is very stressful and it’s great that at least I have someplace to go every Saturday where I can “breathe” !
