The lead was very engaging with the children. Not only was the dance/music interesting, but he kept the adults/children BOTH engaged, which is difficult to do!!

The Ginga Brasileira performances were fantastic. Efraim Silva and company were engaging, instructive, and entertaining. Absolutely brilliant!

Assembly Chair, Wahlstrom Academy

This was a wonderful assembly. The staff is still raving about it. The performers were kid-friendly yet commanded the students respect. They were lively and engaging and held the students attention from the moment the assembly began until it ended.  I would highly recommend this assembly to everyone.

Assistant Principal, Millbridge Elementary

We found your performance rousing and engaging. In fact, many students who usually slump in their seats were actively participating in your performance, which is a great testament to the quality of your presentation.
