Beatriz and Shawn, I would like to extend our gratitude to you both for doing such a bang up job this past week-end. It was professional done and fun for both the students and their parents. Move will definitely be a top choice for our 2010 comp season.

Just wanted to say thank-you from all of us @ Just 4 Kicks. It was a great positive atmosphere this weekend! It was nice that Shawn had more than his name at the competition. He went out of his way to make personal connections with the Directors and students! The audio guys were amazing! They went out of their way to figure out the issues I was having and they got fixed. No stress! Professional! Thank you for listening when I had questions. You did an amazing job throughout the weekend. I'm sure it must have been tough at times, but it was one of the best we've been to! Anyways, make sure you have us down for next year! Thanks for everything!
