Powerful instructor. What a gem to have in Hollis! He's moved to Buxton to the church beside the theater - truly the best instructor you will find in New England.

My son who is 4 joined the little dragons course and has never had so much fun in an activity. He is starting at the very beginning so there is learning to do and he feels very comfortable in the class even when he's made a few silly mistakes, no judgment! Great activity for a toddler who needs something to let the energy out.
