Suggestions to artists for improvement:
Given the amount of time we had for each performance, the video at the beginning of the program was a bit too long. Perhaps the video could be shorter. Also, it would be great if the performers brought student volunteers on the stage during the last performance in which students were able to try the dance moves from their seats.
Please include any additional comments you care to make.
Overall, the performers were great. We were happy to host them!
