Testimonios
Patricio - Diligencia
Weston Súper Yegua
Natalie enseñó en nuestros talleres de verano para niños de 6 a 16 años. Su energía y personalidad brillaron y los estudiantes se entusiasmaron con ella al instante. Natalie enseñó principalmente a cantar, pero también ayudó con la enseñanza de la danza y la actuación, ayudando a organizar una actuación al final de una semana intensiva.
