    “Jo has a natural warmth and vibrancy. Ability is no barrier in this session and the atmosphere produces innovative expression even from some of the more shy or less communicative members of the group . The Blue Apple Dance session appears to be thoroughly enjoyed by the service users and very skillfully facilitated by Jo.”
