    “I love all the creative ideas you put together in The Holistic Collection of Dance Improvisation Tips & Activities! Encouraging some silliness in activities like the “Wacky Waving Arm Flailing Tube Person” is refreshing. I also really love all the variations on Body Writing. I have so many positive things to say about this guide!” – DJ, dance educator in New York
