"When 'Vasha' and 'Pasia' danced at Parkside Meadows
Retirement Community in St. Charles last Wednesday evening, they
were more than a hit. In the nearly two years I have directed
activities and social services at Parkside, NO PROGRAM has been
better received or garnered more compliments than Pasia and Vasha.
The program was well received by both men and women. The elderly
men had their emotions stirred and the women appreciated the
skill and beauty of these young women. And more, they identified
with Cindy and Pam and reminisced back to their own young and
more vibrant years in the 1920s.
The performance brightened the days of all present. I hope your
young dancers sleep well at night----they contribute great beauty
to the lives of others.
Again, Our Thanks."

"Thank you for teaching the three hula dance classes
at our neighborhood's Mom and Me weekend in February. We appreciated
your patience in making sure we could do the movements, your
constant smile, and the costumes and musical instruments you
brought. You also helped us find muscles we didn't know existed!
The hula classes were listed as a "favorite activity"
on a lot of the evaluation forms. They really helped make our
"LUAU" theme successful!:

"The presence of your company in our New Orleans style
marching band not only added an exciting, colorful and exotic
element to the popular street attraction, but you also received
wide praise from many festival-goers. . . Your talent and professionalism
were not only appreciated, but were another plus to our festival."

"Mona's professionalism shows in her attitude, marketing,
organization and reliability. Her instruction is interesting
and motivating. Our classes consist of many ages, sizes, shapes
and levels of coordination. She has managed to work with everyone
so they are working at their personal best. Her patience, guidance
and kind words are a source of encouragement for this very devoted
group. Mona has been the consummate professional from the start
and her love of the dance is contagious!"

"Thank you again for such an interactive, dynamic and
substantive performance. . . I hope that you enjoyed being part
of our retreat at least half as much as we enjoyed having you
with us."
