Testimonials
We had a wonderful African dance day with Vivian. He was very professional and accommodating. He was engaging with the children and teachers and made the workshops very educational delivering brilliant content and knowledge in African dance.
Bilston C of E primary school Headteacher - Mr. Gentle
Vivian was brilliant with all our groups from reception to year 6 including our resource base. He modified each African dance routine to fit the age group he was working with. All children loved the experience.I watched a lot of the classes perform and they all were enjoying it throughout. The teaching was excellent.
Welsh House Farm Community PE Specialist - Matt Jones
