We asked Charlotte for a dance session as part of a staff wellbeing event and she did not disappoint. From the word go, Charlotte was able to accommodate our needs and on the day brought the vibes and moves of salsa. Not forgetting props that were enjoyed by all! The session was fantastic with so much laughter and team bonding. Charlotte brought out the best in us with her creativity, warm and welcoming manner and love for dance. Thank you.
