“I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful show and unique experience of attempting to do a few of your dance moves. The memory of it keeps making me smile. I also wanted to say how much I admire your ability to warm up an audience such that you had all of us, irrespective of age/ability up on our feet and having fun.”
