I had such an awesome day, wish I could go to part II tomorrow. (sniff)

I think this was the most fun I've ever had in a workshop. Jim kept us laughing the whole time. And finally, finally, FINALLY someone who teaches the way I learn. Explanation: my body absolutely refuses to learn anything until my brain understands what I'm supposed to be aiming for and why and how. Jim was AWESOME at explaining everything before and after and was very generous with his knowledge. Because my mind was prepared for each new movement, I was able to learn so much faster than I usually do in a workshop. I was relaxed and ready to try. It also helped that he broke everything down slowly and patiently. I loved that the workshop time was divided between theory, technique, and choreography. I could absorb something different from each approach. Very worth the money! Highly recommended! Thanks Jim!!
