"I would highly recommend inviting Judy Cook to your school. Judy is a creative and talented performer, author, singer and teacher whose enthusiasm for dance is contagious. She has the ability to adapt for students as needed and inspires all children to move to the music. What a wonderful experience for everyone involved!" Thanks again Judy,
—Debbie Bray Carpathia School
All the students from K-4 thoroughly enjoyed their week with Judy! Judy provided a fantastic program to our students and I would highly recommend her to another school. Judy has also written a book called When Dinosaurs go Dancing. Students enjoyed listening to this book that combines dinosaurs and dance. One of the classes acted out/danced the book!
