"Hi Leahanne & Chelsea,

Thank you, I will pass along your message to my team and their parents.
We thoroughly enjoyed the day and want to thank you for running such a great competition. It was very well organized and definitely a warm family feel :) The judging was very strong!
Everyone appreciated how much you gave back. The trophies, etc. were beautiful and everything was very professional.
We look forward to participating again next season,"

"I apoloqize for sending this so late, as we have had comp after comp, but I wanted to take the time to THANK YOU for such a wonderful competition experience! Myself and my dancers thoroughly enjoyed your competition at Sir John A. What a fun, well-organized event! Thanks to you and your staff for putting on a great weekend.
Cheers,"

"Hi Leahanne and Chelsea,

I would just like to say that while I've been at the studio this week I am still hearing a lot of talk from the kids and parents about how great your competition was. They all thought is was very professionally run, you had great giveaways for both the students and parents and they all said having food accessible - esp. the coffee was a nice change. They have already asked me if we could return again next season. Thank you for working so hard to make it such a positive experience for everyone involved.
Take care and good luck with the rest of your venues."

"Hi Leahanne,

I was going to email you tonight to let you know how much we enjoyed ourselves this past weekend. I can honestly say that the feedback from all of our students, parents, and staff has been extremely positive and everyone is ecstatic that we will be attending another one of your competitions next weekend.
You have a beautiful family and you all work very well together - we have been to many many competitions over the years and I can say that this was one of the best. Our kids were at the studio tonight and could not stop talking about how much fun they had! We are sincerely honoured to have won the Valerie Copeland Memorial Award and we can't thank you enough for having such a wonderful event (the Dance-off) for the kids to participate in and experience.
Again, we really congratulate you for a job well done and are very much looking forward to next weekend!!"

Thanks again for everything!"

"I just wanted to thank-you and your family for a wonderful time this past weekend. My students, parents and myself really enjoyed it. I also wanted to thank-you for the refund. you were the only comp that did anything for the family and we both appreciated it.

"I just wanted to thank you for a great competition. This was my first competition in 10 years and my first one for entering my own studio and I couldn't have asked for anything more relaxing than yours. It was very organized with lots of helpers. We thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks again."

I know we enjoyed everything. Everyone was very friendly and it was organized well. Thank you for having us at your competition and we would love to come back another year."

"Hi there. Thank you for a great weekend! I hope that you and your staff are finding time to rest! I loved the family atmosphere at Northern Stars! You guys did a fabulous job! I hope that you are proud of all that you accomplished in your first year! Congratulations! I was thoroughly impressed with the organization of this competition! The staff was all very knowledgeable and extremely courteous and willing to help!

I cannot applaud you enough on this! We are a new, and small studio from Barrie, but felt very comfortable in the environment that you created! Thank you for that! I think that the dance-off / showcase, is a great tribute. I commend the strength of you and your family for dedicating such an award. I will certainly recommend your competition to others! I hope that you were able to enjoy your time organizing the event!

Congratulations on a great undertaking! In one year, you have done fabulous things, where others who have been doing this for years can't seem to do! Please keep me posted on your dates for next year. I hope to have more entries next year, and visiting Northern Stars. Congrats again! PS--thank you for the lovely goody bag too!!"

"Hi... During the last 7 years of attending competitions I have actually never sent an email to the organizers, so having said that; My daughter dances with Total Dance Innovations and we just wanted to let you know that the competition was extremely enjoyable, very organized and seemed to run without any glitches (although I’m sure you had a few behind the scenes!!).

We were impressed with the number of young people you had helping out, no matter where you went there always seemed to be someone to help out, direct you or answer questions. My daughter said they even came into the change room to see if there was anything they could do! The parent room was such a great idea. I even noticed one of your helpers looking after someone’s baby. I thought your different levels of was interesting, kind of confusing at first but a good idea in general. Thanks!"
