Completed the US Sailing Powerboating class. Bottom line up front...if all your interested in is…read morecertification this may be the place to knock it out. Our weekend was split between a group of four students and a group of two semi-private students. The price I was quoted for the semi private group was $1479..the group rate was $679. Did not see a much of difference between groups...perhaps semi-privates received an hour or so per person more helm time. The class room instruction was identical...the last day we were all in class together due to weather. The last day of water activities were cancelled due to weather. Some but not all of tasks were shoehorned in the first day. A make up day was alluded to during the first day of the course when it appeared the weather was going south for the second day. When the second day of on the water was cancelled I asked for a rescheduled on the water day at a mutually convenient time. I was told that the class would be emailed...but that never happened. PROS Very knowledgeable instructors. Bob is a former Commodore of Coconut Grove Sailing Club. His knowledge of Biscayne Bay was imparted during the navigation and on the water exercises as an added benefit above and beyond the syllabus. The way he demonstrated to tie the knots sunk in unlike over fifty years of previous knot instruction from boy scouts to military to sailing did not. Melissa was a very engaging instructor who carried the main burden of class room instruction. She kept the class interesting, while having to cover a large amount of material. The boat used was a 22 foot cat hull. It was very well maintained and operated flawlessly for the four hours we were aboard. CONS Classroom was at the coconut grove bookstore. They had a youth group the first day practicing musical instruments. The second day we were in the outside courtyard during a cold snap...kind of uncomfortable. In top of that a fire alarm went off for at least ten minutes. For the $5600 gross for the students that weekend you would think they could hire a conference room. Being shorted half of the on the water training was disappointing. Totally understand the weather call...but a make up day should have been scheduled to fulfill the syllabus requirements. I had requested the book to read ahead. They cover a lot of information verbally but there is not enough time to digest the information during the course...especially for new boaters. The exam sheet that I received had the answers circled in pencil and then erased where you could just barely see them. IDK if everyone had same experience, but looking at test results I would assume they were all the same.

The clases are private but the price is reasonable. I highly recommend this swimming school to any mamas & papas out there :)

He had me in the drivers seat the first day and within 2 weeks I was ready to take my driving test. If he can get me ready for the test he can get you there too. Because the class size is kept small you get a lot of time in the driver seat more than any other place in Miami. Some days I had the truck all to myself. Trust the process and practice, practice, practice.

A super cool art fence, located at the Design & architecture High school. It is reminiscent of…read morewaves and is quite innovative. The DASH Fence by designer Marc Newson is a 100-ft fence installation at the Design & Architecture High School (DASH), creating a compelling environmental structure in the heart of the Miami Design District. Based conceptually on waves, the design consists of a thin metal frame of 400 vertical fins of varying depths that create a series of changing patterns. The appearance of the fence shifts based on point of view--up close, the fence allows a full view into and out from the DASH courtyard. However, from a distance, the surface becomes fully opaque and appears to undulate as the viewer passes by.

I love the fact that Yelp offers the category for education. Before I start my review I would like…read moreto state that I want to go back to High School again. But here, not at the school I did go to. I would have done anything to go to a school like this. The Design & Architecture Senior High, or DASH as its commonly known, not to be confused with the store on the beach is a Magnet school for Industrial, Fashion and Graphic Design, Filmaking and of course, Architecture. Located in Miami's Design District, it is for those kids who are creative and free thinkers. If I could give this school ten stars it would deserve every one, but I am limited to five. DASH creates an environment where young minds are not only encouraged but expected to grow, think and create. Art and design surround you every step you take throughout the school, even in the languages and science classrooms, each and every one of these educators understand the importance of developing the mind through creativity. To encourage problem solving, freethinking and art through uncommon ways. The question posed to these kids commonly is "why?" They must think and are encouraged to find the reasoning behind things instead of it getting spoon fed to them. Most of these children not only are artistic in a visual way but their creative side will expand to music as well, its an everyday event to hear music during breaks throughout the school as they play the piano in the cafeteria or bring their guitars. It is a school full of educators that understand the importance of individuality and expression, and they have the freedom to use instead of being boxed into one type of educational zombie march. I mean, where else during a fire alarm testing as the irritating flashing light interferes with the class (knowing its NOT a real alarm of course) would a teacher turn the lights off and put on disco music and lets the kids enjoy those 5 minutes? Before anyone goes thinking this school is all about having fun and games, know this: Dash is ranked by US News & World Report as the #15 school in the nation. As a Magnet it is number TWO in the country, it is the number one Magnet school in Florida. Over all other Magnet Schools in the city. So think about that for a second. This is based on academics, so know that the education couldn't be better. What DASH understands which the educational system in Florida and the USA is sadly missing the point on is that creativity does help critical thinking, art does help children learn by forcing their minds to expand and therefore see problems differently and teaches them to think for themselves. For anyone out there thinking we need to cut costs by cutting music and art, take a long hard look at this school and try to make your point. You won't have one.
