Teachers’ responses from our March 1997 assemblies for the Scottsdale School District’s 6th grade: “It was excellent. The performers appealed to the students age level and provided useful information.” - ”The dancing dovetails our medieval/renaissance fair this month.” - ”It applies directly to our curriculum in social studies. It was perfect timing.”

Nancy Wolter, the performing arts supervisor for the City of Mesa :“Wow! What a wonderful job the dancers and musicians did at Mesa’s libraries yesterday. The audiences were thrilled, as were all of us, at the energy level and charm of the performance. What a fun group you are.”

Dan Ford, Activities and Events Coordinator for Mohave Communtiy College, Kingman, Arizona: ”Bedlam Bells Morris Dancers are one of the best groups I have had the pleasure of working with. I recomend them Wholeheartedly for your performing arts presentation or special event.”

“The best aspect of their show is their immediate connection with the audience, drawing them into the world of medieval revelry, and cultivating an understanding of the period and people who lived at that time. Whether appearing before elementary school assemblies or before adult audiences, Bedlam Bells provide excellent entertainment value.”
