"I enjoyed the partner exercises because it encouraged all participants to interact not just with their family with others. I thought the class was well executed from start to finish. I liked how Sheryl introduced herself, demonstrated each movement and modifications, and the pop quiz at the end was a welcomed surprise too."

"Students came into 1,2,3 JUMP with little confidence in how to jump rope... Within a few minutes, students began to feel more comfortable and get the hang of it. The instructors were positive, kind, and helped build students' confidence while getting them moving!"
