“The professionalism of the instructors was definitely an asset.”

-Cecil Doggette
Outreach Services, Health Service for Children with Special Needs

When an outreach program for a health agency called Joe’s they found they could offer everything their constituents were looking for – yoga, belly dancing classes, and even Jazzercise.  The agency hoped to offer movement classes for parents to help combat obesity and reduce stress.  The program’s director, Cecil Doggette explains, classes “are growing and some are filled to capacity.  Folks are on waiting lists… It has been so successful.” 

Cecil credits the “professionalism of Joe’s instructors” as “definitely an asset in terms of what is happening and the success of it all.”
