"For the past 9 years we have had the pleasure of having MNM conduct dance classes for our preschool students. Miss Melinda and her staff always provide a creative, loving, quality dance curriculum that the children find to be exciting and fun. It is a wonderful learning experience for children which encourages their confidence, self-esteem and fitness. Parents only have positive comments regarding their child's Music 'N Motion dance experience." - Miss Juli
"Music 'N Motion has excellent dance instructors. We have seen how the program builds self-confidence in all the children enrolled. Both parents and staff enjoy the recitals at the end of the sessions." - Miss Kim
“The Music N' Motion Hula Hoop Program was a nice treat and addition to the already successful programs in place.  My daughter did the class and in short weeks was a master hula hooper and loved it.  She was motivated by the teacher and learned a great deal in the first session.  I think the class is a fantastic idea- it provides a great workout for the kids and really tests their coordination.  I appreciate Music N' Motion for staying ahead of the game and providing healthy alternatives for our school children.  And, they make it very fun for the kids to come to class. Thank you Music N' Motion.  Keep it up!” - Washington CDC Mom
“What a great job Kristina is doing with the boys.  I didn't know my son could move like that!!!  Let alone remember choreography.”
- Lincoln CDC Mom
“Thank you so much for giving the gift of allowing me to watch my daughter dance. . . As a dancer myself, I have always danced with her, even when she was in the womb.  I have tried so hard not to push it on her.  Watching her today was a highlight of my year.  Thank you for allowing her to be her goofy self and inspiring her to have fun while dancing!” - Peninsula Montessori Mom
"I wanted to thank you for the wonderful performance last week; I am so proud of Alexander and all of the children. You have taken such care in making sure they learn and have fun. I'm so glad that Alexander is a part of the classes!"  - Alison, Mom
"Molly has really enjoyed your classes and I really appreciate all you have done to help Mo come out of her shell a little bit.  2 years ago, as you know, she had a real hard time even getting through half of a dance class.  So to now see her up there performing with her classmates makes my heart swell."

"Our district has offered the "Music in Motion" dance program taught by Miss Melinda Fornero or one of her qualified staff, to all fourth graders in the district since 2005. The program has been extremely successful! Parents, principals, teachers and students consistently share how amazed they were with how much they learned in such a short amount of time...and had a lot of fun along the way! The program is inclusive for ALL kids. We look forward to expanding the program to other grade levels!" - Tom Whaley, Visual & Performing Arts Coordinator, Santa Monica, Malibu School District

"I like to do dance with Miss Melinda and to do free dance. Miss Melinda loves me and makes me proud."  - Emily, Age 5
"I like when you get to dance and stuff.  Putting on hats is weird and funny!"  - Gavin, Age 3
"Teachers are caring, kind and bursting with enthusiasm. Students learn about body awareness through creative dance movements. Students are also able to work on their social skills, by participating in bubbly free dance, which the children love. As a teacher, I have had the opportunity to see numerous students bloom from participating in this program."
