Robert Rivard

The special entertainment provided by the Le-La-La Dancers capped off both a wonderful and intimate evening with a better appreciation of the amazingly rich and symbolic cultures that our Canadians were able to share with us. It was definitely the highlight and feature of our National Forum.

Catherine Froese Klassen

Your leadership and the performance of the dancers was an integral part of our conference’s success. The dancing was meaningful and instructive, and your complementary narrative was insightful and appropriate to our diverse, global audience.

World Council for Gifted & Talented Children , Sept 2009 

You provided the perfect ending for our conference delegates and they’ll go home with the true spirit of the West Coast in their hearts. We appreciate your energy and talent.

Thank you for visiting our classroom. We loved your performance and learned so much about your culture. You made learning about First Nations culture interesting and exciting.
