Teacher at Derwent Lodge School, March 2012
'Please pass our Thanks onto all of the staff members involved in delivering the dance sessions to the children at Hempstead Junior School. The children and staff thoroughly enjoyed all of the sessions. The dance routines were great fun and broken down into managable chunks for all of the children to access and the children really enjoyed working with the instructors.'
Teacher, Hempstead Junior School, February 2012
'Thank you to Sophie and The Right Step Dance Company for creating dances with the children. It was great to see their confidence increase and to see a dance develop over the weeks. We will enjoy watching our performances on video!'

Prevention Services Manager, Age Concern Chatham, February 2012
'I've just finished an exercise class with Rebecca. I came in at 9 o'clock feeling frankly flagged out, and rusty and not very keen to get started in dance. But now I'm all loosened up and my stiffness has gone. In fact, I'm raring to go. I only wish I could go to this exercise class every day. It would make a new women out of me.'
A very relaxed participant, N. Assegard at Strood Age Concern, June 2011
'A super 40 minute class packed with story, music and dance. I never imagined I would see my 3 year old granddaughter dancing Sleeping Beauty. Gentle, kind and thoughtful praise enhanced the whole experience for the children. Rebecca has a lovely touch with the children. Thank you.'
Sheila Taylor, Jemima's Grandma. 19th May, 2010
