"My daughter attends Motion Control “Local Motion Kids” disability classes weekly and her confidence has soared as a result. She’s gone from being nervous in groups of people, to performing very happily and confidently on stage in front of hundreds of people! The teachers and volunteers are amazing - they get everyone involved and are so dedicated and full of energy and ideas. The dance classes are the highlight of my daughter’s week!"
