"Everytime I learn a new dance I show it to my friends. I would like to come here to Fresno State again so I can learn more dances." "The part that I like of dance is that I now know many fun dances. I think I'll always like dance." "When the first day was over, I thought that it was boring and hard, but when I got better it was like, 'Wow, I can't beleive I was playing all the instruments.' This program taught me lots of new things. Thanks to the people and kids that helped me correct my mistakes." "...the next day I came and I was so excited that we were going to dance. I am so glad that I am here." "When you first told us we were going to dance in this class, I felt nervous, but now dancing is my favorite part of this class."
