“One of the most dynamic facilitators, breathing with the hum of emotion as it moves through the collective mind on the dance floor. I don't doubt that this event will encompass that all-inclusive vibe I've come to know and love from the Dance In The Hills w/ Jo Woods events thus far.”

- Amanda, event participant
