“Carli was a fantastic first step! We were all sorry for the class to end, as we were all getting the hang of the moves and each week I could tell I was getting just a little better. Everyone at the EASTCONN office was great and you have always been great at communicating with those of us registered. I look forward to coming back in July for Carli’s next session.” –Jayne
