= The Comments: what students thought, in their own words =

What I particularly liked about the course:
"How Tara took care of us, checking in with us to see where our heads were at every meeting, made sure we played safe no matter what, and let us pass if we felt the need. It was a really great environment for me to explore."

"We did so many different things, but they all connected to each other. Everything was really fun and the atmosphere that the facilitator and the group provided was amazing. The course helped me get better at things I was already doing, and introduced me to new things. When I was hesitant to try something, I had so much support :-) I was actually able to get over several fears I have in relation to movement in this class, which was wonderful."

"Having a time to move/play and get away from the stress of other courses, learning about myself/my physical capabilities."

"The friendly atmosphere between the fellow students and the facilitator as well as the all around casual and goofy feeling from the class as a whole."

What I particularly disliked about the course:
"[H]onestly there was quite a bit more physical contact than I’m used to. It was a little weird at first."

"Nothing really. Sometimes I’d feel mildly frustrated when I could get the tricks down but Tara was always supportive and helpful."

"Waking up on Friday mornings."

What I would suggest the facilitators do differently next time:
"Maybe Tara could work one on one more often or some sort of buddy system when teaching the harder acro tricks."
