Testimonials

Recently, I worked with Alaine Alldaffer in her first all day class at AC.  I left the room wanting to work for days and days after.  Just like that.  Alaine is exceptional, urging you to fly and then tugging you back into a better balance, with a high-energy, ensemble feel all around.  A class well worth it - for a whole day!  Take it.  You'll grow.  Thanks.
