"He begins the performance by welcoming the audience and encouraging each resident to participate at a level with which they are comfortable. Even residents who are wheelchair-bound can still "dance" as Julio is so considerate of the persons needs."
- Cynthia Fischer, Activity Director, Springfield Supportive Living
"His enthusiasm and energy were so infectious that several of our elderly residents and Alzheimer’s patients visibly wanted to get up and dance along. His presentation (including narration, music selections, and physical demonstration) was well-organized and thoroughly prepared—obviously customized for his audience, showing an innate desire to adapt to his surroundings and his circumstances."
- Terri Hempstead, Director of Development, St. Joseph’s Home
"Increased physical ability, improved health, and self-confidence building are just a few of the benefits Julio's work brings to people with disabilities. I'd like to personally recommend Salsa 29 Productions for any activity that includes recreational activities for people with disabilities, seniors, and children."
- Jessica Schuyler, Assistive Technology Specialist and Special Events Coordinator, Illinois Assistive Technology Program
"Last year’s presentation was very educational for the individuals supported by the Springfield Arc Developmental Training Center. It was also a great deal of fun for them. The individuals supported do not get many opportunities to explore different cultures."
- Robin Phoenix, Vocational Assistant Program Manager, Sparc
