Hi Deanna,
I got the book in the mail yesterday. I've read quite a bit already and am
so happy to have it now to refer to. I actually used the "withdraw your
child" tactic just last week with a parent who created a scene about a
costume that she claimed looked like the girl on the corner
outfit. It worked like a charm and I walked away feeling soooo good! The
dad actually apologized the following week for his wife's behavior.

Thank you for the Year Long Creative Movement Curriculum. I
received it today and I love it! It's exactly what I was looking
for.
Gretel, CA 01/08
Thank you for being such a fantastic mentor. You helped to make
possible my dream of running my own dance business. Thank you!
Your advice and nurturing spirit are top notch. Keep up your good
work and take care this holiday season. All my best,
Kristin, MO 12/22/07
LOVED the workshop. It was everything I wanted it to be. Lots of
personal attention to our problems and solutions to what to teach
this year. I will definitely be back next year!
Susan, NY 09/07
Just got your note and so happy to hear from you. I can't tell
you how invigorated and re-charged I feel for registration! You
are one of the most "down to earth - tell it like it is" educators
in the dance industry that I've ever met. I have a feeling that
I'll be hearing 'Perfume' playing hte the Dance Studio this
afternoon!!!
Thanks so much for taking the picture with us. I'm posting it
outside the studio with our certificates
Regards, Joanne NY 08/07
Deanna, Don't change a thing about the Workshop. It was perfect.

Hello Deanna,
I'm just amazed at your such a prompt and personal answer.
Wow, I haven't received any materials yet, but I had my first
lesson by you already. This is what I call a customer service!
Thank you.
I trust your decision about the CD. Can't wait to receive it
all.
Thank you again,
Iana. (Belgium) (March 2007)
Thank you Deanna,
Love talking to you. (It makes me feel more normal and
not so alone....:-) )
Can't wait to receive all the
products. And thank you for the help on the Christmas show!!! I knew you
could do it!
Thanks again, take care,
Tricia

I am so glad you emailed me...and right away!
I didn't expect it. I mean, now I know why you have so many good
reviews, not only about your products. I am so excited about the
workshop....and thank you for being considerate!

Thank
you very much for sending me the I year Tap Program that I ordered.
Thank you for the orange leis. You are so kind.
Another comment from my 3 years old class: "Ms Ingrid, that is
what I call good music! "
My students are loving the classes so much. As soon as I take some
pictures I will send you some.
Thank you again for making my job so much easier and helping me
enjoy more what I do, teach dance!
Sincerely, Ingrid (January 2007)
I am using Tap 1
and Tap 2. The students love the different dances and the coloring
sheets. I feel that it really helps them to understand tempo by
constantly hearing the names of the steps to the beat of the
music. They are progressing quickly as a result of how the
syllabus is put together.
Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
You are helping in the training process of a lot of dancers and I
have recommended you to other teachers as well.

We
spoke yesterday and then I went on your web site. I am so glad
you took the time to share your excellent suggestions with me. I
couldn't fall asleep last night because I kept thinking about the
dance program that I run and how I want to definitely make some
changes for the upcoming season. Talking to you was just the push
that I needed to "take back my business" and be more confident.
NP, VT 07/06
The Ballet and Tap syllabuses we ordered are fabulous!!!!! They
will help me get my brain organized! ha! Carrie

I also wanted to say "thank you". We
just had our spring recital and used several ideas from your
Through the Garden Gate CD. The "Dancing Bunnies" were the
cutest dancers ever! Diane 06/06
I received your business book, and I am
amazed that I have finally found something that is right on track
with what I envision for my business. I just opened my studio in
July 2005 with 35 students and have grown to 130 to date. Melanie

Hi Deanna, I
truly enjoyed your summer workshop in Atlantic City!
Bonnie, Ohio 10/3/05
I talked to you about a month ago
because my kids were complaining about switching from jazz to ballet, so I
just wanted to drop you a note and update you
We had two recitals yesterday using
the Garden Material, and I have never received so many compliments on a
recital before. The parents just loved the show! The kids had a blast!
Thank you so much for all of the ideas
and for putting together such a "teacher friendly recital." I get so tired
of thinking of new stuff each year, so this was a dream.
I am very interested in the "Wondrous
Working Toy Factory" for next year. Can you let me know when it is
available?
Thanks again for all of your advice
and support. I greatly appreciate all that you do for all of us frazzeled
teachers!
Angie from Wisconsin 5/05
Hi Deanna,
All of my classes are starting up in a few weeks and I just wanted to thank
you for all the wonderful ideas and the inspiration that you shared so
generously at the Atlantic City Workshop! I think the most important
information you game me personally was to begin writing and keeping each
lesson so that every year I don't have to go and re-invent from beginning.
I am keeping my class lists now! I am also working on getting a business
license and getting that business incorporated and insured. This wouldn't
be happening without your workshop!
Jennifer, Wisconsin 08/05
Thank you for sharing all of your ideas with
me. Your support has helped in so many ways, I don't think I would've ever
gotten this thing going without you! Kris in Kansas City, MO 1/05.
Hi Deanna, We had our best season yet! We had children
begging to come to class every day because they loved the material
in your program. I know I will love the new stuff! Can't wait to
get it.
Dancingly Yours, Cheryl (6/04)
Hi Deanna,
I got my order - THAAAAAANNNNNNNNNKS!
I tried out the dances today with my 5 year olds with great
success. I've been pushing my new girls pretty hard without
really teaching the basics from "go", so they were sooooooo happy
to have something they could do with complete success. They were
very pleased with themselves, and even a little smug.
I'm four weeks past retiring Nanny Nanny Boo Boo but the 3 year
olds can't live without it. Most of the kids are now addicted to
Story Book. Oh - one of the moms told me her child was a flower
girl in a wedding and was the only kid who knew step and touch.
Thanks so much Deanna, for the CDs. Jean (6/04)
Hi Deanna,
Just wanted to let you
know that our class is still going great! I think our favorite
so far is the Making a Cake dance. At the end of class, I usually put on
the Bubbles song and let the moms and kids blow bubbles as sort of an ending
activity. The moms are really enjoying spending this fun time with their
little ones, and I love being a part of it! Kristy Belcher (3/04)
Dear Deanna,
I just wanted to say
how much I enjoy all the CD's I have received. My students are so excited
every week. They ask me right when they get there "What are we going to do
today Miss Rhonda. I want to go on the magic carpet ride again." I love it
so much. It has added so much excitement to each class. And thank you for
taking the time to talk to me on the phone. I really appreciate that
also. I will be ordering more items this fall and I will highly recommend you
to all of my friends and other dance teachers. Thank you again. I feel I
have new freshness in my class room.
Sincerly,
Rhonda Taylor (3/04)
Thought I would let you know what the "all time most requested dance"
is: Toy Store! Even though I do this one in December, I continue to have
kids asking to do it the whole rest of the year! I think they absolutely
love that they get to imagine this whole world of the toy store, and enjoy
that it is more like a story they can act out than "just a dance"!!! Kris

Hi Deanna, thanks for talking to me about dance teaching
yesterday. I am re-enthused about my toddler classes! - J
Deanna, Thank-you for the update special page.
My name is Niki and I'm from L. A. and I just bought Ballet Volume 2,
Toddlers Vol. 3 and Creative movement Volume 6 . Thanks for the
suggestion. These are great. Even though Halloween is over I thought I would
give Boo try. Wow what a response the kids love it.
They also love The Dancing Princesses. I have not tried the magic carpet
ride because I would like to get a carpet for it first. I think the kids
would love that. Well, Thanks again. Niki (11/03)
I received your box in the mail yesterday. That was so sweet of you to
send me new material and props (free-feathers). You have been so helpful and encouraging!
Thank you. Sabrina (09/04)
Hi Deanna,
Thank you for sending the syllabus and CDS.
Everything arrived on Tues.Oct. 8th, so that was quick! I I like the
syllabus and music. It is a nice break from the usual Checchetti work.
Keep in touch!
Angela. (from Canada 10/03)
Thanks for the great service. I love your material! The children are
having a blast! Thank you for your prompt attention! I can't wait to get
the int. and adv. I have been teaching for 31 years and I can always use
new ideas. I try to keep learning and want my instructors to do the
same. I am so glad we have people like you that take the time to produce
curriculum that is so good. Thanks for your great stuff! Cheryl (09/03)
