Testimonials




Hi there,

I have recently passed the practical assessment on your ETM, with the patience,
guidance and support of Nic, she was amazing and I never once felt that anything
was too much trouble,(and I was a pain) all in all I have been really happy with
the course.  Just wanted to let you know cos people are always happy to complain
and with it being a new course thought you may be interested in feedback.  Did
my theory Monday so fingers crossed should hear soon.

Finally, if I am successful I will be training to work for Mandi Davidson our
local franchisee for Rosemary Conley, so may see you at Centre Parcs - you'll be
the one in the leotard I presume, and I'll be the other, Rosemary will be loving
it!

Thanks, Rachel,

Deb x

Hi all

 

Its been a while since I blogged so i thought I may start and update the blog a little bit more. As you can see we have totally revamped choreographytogo - what do you think? Id love your feedback - its taken over 6 months of intense work from my fantastic web deisgner Dave who has had to interpret my mad cap ideas  into a more user friendly and "sophisticated" site. An old child hood mate has done all of the new logos and helped my rebrand the whole thing - cheers Andy B - love it all!

After having covered a million miles over the last 6 months delivering workshops and courses I've been feeling a tad jadded! so Im just having a mini break in Spain till Sunday so Im writing this sipping a chilled glass of veno overlooking a pool - I already feel so much better, strangley!

when I get back ill be launching a new site for consumers which ill let you know about next week

Have a great weekend xxx
