"I attended two workshops given by April and they were absolutely amazing! April is great at making people feel comfortable, even if movement feels intimidating at first. She brings humor, warmth, and a playful spirit to the workshop, creating an environment where everyone feels free to experiment, take risks, and have fun. Her ability to blend science-related topics with dance is nothing short of brilliant. April knows exactly how to push participants to expand their comfort zones while always keeping things light, encouraging, and supportive.
