Cindy is a quality human! She was so warm and attentive throughout the planning of (and during) my son's fifth birthday *dance party,* which took place at her sweet center for a truly reasonable price. She took care to determine all the particulars, including dress-up costume preferences and the playlist for the kids to dance to. She even supplied great prizes for some fun games she'd organized and recruited some teenage students of the studio to help lead the group, and so graciously, through the dancing/gaming. Everyone in our pack got a kick out of the afternoon, and I've already
