It was great watching and trying to learn some of the moves and I was amazed how quickly you picked up the exercises and routines. It was really interesting how you choreographed the dance and how it has to be perfect before you move on. I think you’re all brilliant dancers and it must be really hard to get up to that stage. I loved seeing you do the jumps and the black hole dance being made. Thank you very much for giving me opportunity to come and see you, I loved it." Matthew |
