Thank you both so much for dancing at the KenCrest 100th Anniversary Gala, which I think was the culmination of the event. As I watched you, I thought: this is what the best dance always is, the combination of talent, technique, heart, and spirit.

Please accept my thanks for meeting with my students, and providing an inspirational demonstration and lecture about your experience in dance. As you know, I wanted my students to understand that people with disabilities can do beautiful things by any standard. Your performance demonstrated this possibility more elegantly than words can ever tell.

We got to talk to Ray quite a bit during the Colorado Star Ball weekend, and got to know him a little. Although I was impressed watching him dance with his partner, what really blew me away was when I saw him leading (former rhythm champion) Diane Gingerich, who was there judging, in a social rumba. There was no question that he was really leading, that the patterns were complex, that he controlled the rhythms, and that he was dancing - and dancing well!

After watching you demonstrate and teach, the participants who took part were very enthusiastic. I have been getting very good feedback from all of them. You are both very informative and super people.

I've spent a lot of money through the years on recreational activities for my daughter, but this is definitely the best money I've ever spent. Stephanie's father
After watching your performances over the last couple of years, my awareness of people using wheelchairs has changed. I was on vacation this past fall and asked a man in a wheelchair to dance at a club, which is something I never would have done before. This has resulted in a lasting friendship. Keep up the great work!

Your graceful, energetic and lyrical dancing was a revelation to all of us. We are convinced that your audience of developmentally disabled people drew a great deal of inspiration and confidence from you and your original art form.
