Hi there,

The lady who ran the Bollywood dance workshop was very nice and knowledgeable especially regarding the history of the style. Letting pupils try on the outfits was a good exciting opportunity for them.

Thanks once again for organising it as I realise it was very short notice, so we are very grateful for your fast response in getting in touch and making the necessary arrangements.

Many Thanks
L Meek - Lead teacher of Dance, John Ferneley College, Leicestershire.

I am just writing to say how fantastic your Bollywood dancer was last Wednesday. We were blown away by his performance - our children were captivated. He danced for Malcolm Primary School, Penge, on Wednesday and did Bollywood Dance workshops for the rest of the day. I had very good feedback about the workshops too. Thank you once again.
H. Hawthorne, Malcolm Primary School

Dear Trap Media

The Chinese Dance Workshop was a success yesterday; Gina was fantastic with the 3 classes she worked with during the dance workshop. Gina exposed the pupils to this fascinating Chinese culture (the calendar and what year it is and the dance styles) and got them involved in the dancing as well. The year 4 & Reception teachers were full of praise about what she did with the pupils.

Thank you for this positive experience.

C Freese, Deputy Headteacher, Merrylands Primary School, Essex
