Guidance on Writing a Testimonial

Your Own Voice

Fellow dancers reading a testimonial want to hear from someone like them.  So, please just use your own voice and write in a way that is natural and authentically you.

Experience

Please share what your experience was with some specifics.  If you thought that the workshop was "Great", WHAT was great about it in your opinion?

Take Aways

What are some key points you are taking away from your experience?  Share how what you learned will positively impact your dancing and performing in the future. 

Encouragement

Encourage other dancers to take a chance on taking the same workshop so that you are spreading the knowledge. 

Teaching Style

Share a little bit about your thoughts about Mariah-Jane as a teacher.  What methods did she use that really worked for you?
