This is the best Real Estate school in Louisiana with the highest passing rate (around 82%) so I'm…read moresurprised I'm the first to review! I'm so thankful I found this school. Burk is an AMAZING teacher who genuinely cares about each of his students learning and passing. I struggle in a class setting because I am pretty sure I have ADD. But I struggle even more with online classes so I knew I needed the class setting. Burk teaches in a way that is very engaging. He has a very calculated way of teaching designed to give you mental breaks (telling stories, cracking jokes,) which prevents you from just feeling overwhelmed and spacing out. I really enjoyed his classes. He offers a two week course Mon-Fri 9a-1pm monthly. You can sit through it Again for free for up to 3 months. I sat through it twice because both of my boys got sick and derailed my study time. I was thankful for the opportunity to attend twice. In addition to learning the ins & outs of Louisiana and National Real Estate, he had professionals sit in to show us a mock closing, and talk about home inspections. He also offers night classes. Not only does he offer Baton Rouge classes but also Lafayette, Lake Charles, Mandeville, Monroe, and Metairie. I came for Louisiana Real Estate but he offers many courses including Mississippi Real Estate, Mortgage Origination, Home Inspection, Residential Appraiser, Insurance, Auctioneering, and Louisiana Broker. His wife Lisa teaches the math portions and she's wonderful, she also offers a math tutoring class monthly. I can't wait to pass my test and get my License! Thanks to Burk I'm convinced this will happen sooner than later. When you arrive, pass the building take the first right and park in the lot BEHIND the building (behind comic store.) He also has a computer lab available to all students to use all day during the week. This was extremely helpful for studying. Thanks Burk!

Not only are the classes great but the instructors and the owner are sweethearts and they make you feel comfortable. I will continue to go as long as classes are offered!

Great experience with DeFrances! Convenient location on Coursey near Jones Creek in Baton Rouge…read more Very nice staff who work here. One of the best dance places in Baton Rouge that's been teaching girls and boys to dance and compete for years. My girls sadly only wanted to dance for a couple years, but if/when they ask to again, we'd gladly go back to DeFrances. My girls loved their teachers, and I always enjoyed the parent watch classes. DeFrances always chose beautiful costumes and were incredibly organized for the recitals. We danced with another local company before, but DeFrances definitely had it down to a science especially compared to the other place. Dance is an expensive hobby (in my opinion) but well worth it for the skills learned and confidence earned. I would bring my girls back here in a heartbeat and saw no reason to not recommend DeFrances to other parents out there looking to start their kiddos in dance.

I recently had a horrible experience with this dance studio. If you have a non caucasian child I…read morestrongly suggest you do not choose this studio and if your child already attends I suggest you seek another establishment. I am saddened that I witnessed racism amongst the children. Although I understand racism is a learned behavior and begins at home with family, a place of business should not be tolerating it. Especially with children! I am sad for the child who has learned already to discriminate but watching someone I care for deeply be subject to racism is heartbreaking. I can NOT sit quiet and let De Frances know that their refusal to even address the issue is ok. A young child has been forever effected by these interactions during an innocent dance class. No child should ever be made to feel ashamed over their skin color, ethnicity, religion, etc. I am appalled that adults in charge think this behavior is ok and claim there's nothing they can do or say because they can't control what other families believe. Really, REALLY De Frances? You want to send the message that little kids having to experience racism while in your care is a better option than addressing the issue. If you think addressing the problem is uncomfortable for you, imagine the little one whose confused about being discriminated against by fellow students over her skin color. And to learn you all just don't even care. Unacceptable.

I caution to avoid this studio, while at first on the surface there are many great offerings, the…read moreOwner/Director has created a culture of fear. All of the students, parents, and teachers are afraid, Tari truly does not want any feedback just your money and a whole lot of it. As a parent I asked questions and was yelled and screamed at and chased out of the office (not a dramatization). Families spending $30k to $50k + annually are not allowed to even question a schedule or a bill. This is the most expensive studio in Baton Rouge and while it does have a great technical dance program, there is no loyalty and no grace given. Tari will not hesitate to run off long term families and children. This culture of fear has persisted in this community for decades unfortunately.

I absolutely love everything about Tari's School of dance! It truly is a second home, and actually…read moredreading the day I graduate and have to leave it. All the staff and teachers are so supportive and welcoming to everyone, especially the owner Mrs Tari! She knows what is best and she will do her best to help us, she gives us COUNTLESS opportunities and is always there supporting you! I've been on company for about 8 years now and wouldn't wanna do anything else! It's been the best experience and decision l've ever made..... people say when you pass away you have 7 minutes of your best memories, dancing at Tari's studio will be mine!

Set up all the canvas, easels, did & got the cake ready, punch ready, everything well planned out and organized. All we have to do is show up! We had the kids paint Olaf the snowman from Frozen. They loved it. Md Denise was wonderful with the kids they all paid attention to her and all the little snowman paintings turned out so cute. It was great that at the end of the day the kids went home with their own unique creation. I highly recommend this place. They were pleasant to work with and the kids had such a great time we will definitely be back.
