I'm in the intermediate class and she regularly asks the students for input on what type of moves we'd like to cover in class before she goes to her planned syllabus and choreography. She's also very friendly and patient, regularly going over the moves and parts of choreography that we have trouble on, answering our questions and giving some of us a little extra attention to help with specific technique issues. I also like how the class flows at a good pace and is very reasonably priced. Plus the other students are friendly so its a nice & chill environment to learn in.

Lake Forest Civic Center is an awesome facility. It is not only the City Hall of Lake Forest, but…read morealso its senior center, aka Clubhouse, a community center, a conference center, and also a performing art center/theater, all surrounding a central courtyard. It is referred to as Lake Forest's 100-year home. I was impressed by its beautiful view of landscape when I first set foot here a few years ago. Since then, I have visited all the buildings, even its parking garage. I liked the fact that most buildings are available for residents to rent/use. The hourly rate is very reasonable for personal use, and pretty much at-cost for non-profit organizations. I often see people use this facility as a public park. Families walk their kids and dog at dusk. The center is always decorated for the holidays, very festive. The only drawback perhaps is its location, not exactly on a major street of the city. Only people has a reason to come here will make the drive. Then again, it cuts down on people passing through accidentally.

How privileged we are to be able to learn about Korean culture by highly qualified Korean…read moreinstructors from Korea sponsored by King Sejong Institute and the South Korean government -- and additional sponsor, Nongshim. Today I learned about the history, style, lore, importance of the beoseon. I had no idea! After the lesson (lectured in Korean and English), we had the opportunity to practice writing Korean on our beoseon with our black calligraphy pens and cutting out the shape of the beoseon. We then transitioned to sewing our beoseon pattern pouch. I learned that the pouch is significant because it stores the pattern from which your beoseons are made. For example, in olden days, part of a bride's preparation was to make 100 beoseons and bring them to her new family's home. Typically, she would gift each adult in that household 10 beoseons each. Today's experience made me once again appreciate my Korean heritage and fanned a desire in me to learn more. I look forward to more education and making of memories at this fine institution and program. (Note, I was ambitious today. I took back to back classes. The 2nd class was about the ear-shaped pouch. It is a simple but elegant, traditional, and practical pouch to carry money, ID, tobacco, etc.). Two thumbs way up for both classes today. The lecturer was top notch and passionate about her topic, and the staff on site were all welcoming and helpful. I hope to experience more with this group! #2025SejongCultureAcademy #KingSejongInstituteFoundation #KoreanCulture

It's always interesting to go to a Lake Forest board meeting. (since my last review, I've been to…read moretwo board meetings, so this is mainly based on those educational experiences/results.) To begin with, If you go half an hour early, you'll most likely get the opportunity to talk to the LF mayor himself and some of the board members. Consequently, they will definitely take an extra interest and understanding in what you're sharing. If you need code enforcement due to someone / or organization not following Lake Forest guidelines / legalities, then this is a great place to receive the best information, and take action. If you plan on speaking at a board meeting , I suggest that you be prepared, by addressing the board, constructively, and professionally during your three minutes of sharing . I usually give out handouts to the board members prior to the meeting, with Photos and an outline. Additionally, There are sheriff officers there as well and it's usually a nice opportunity to ask questions. From my experience, a board member, city department, or even the presiding mayor himself, Will afterwords be responding / assisting with the problem-solving, regarding the concern you brought up. Consequently, I learned a lot about ADA requirements, complements, and concerns. In conclusion , They are very helpful at Lake Forest City Hall, assisting their residents.

CODE ENFORCEMENT: A MODEST DEPT WITH AN OUTSIZED PRESENCE…read more As with all mid-sized cities, there will be neighborhoods headed down a questionable path (e.g. broken windows, abandoned cars, un-permitted add-ons, gas piping or electrical work, etc). It is not only up to keen-eyed residents but a responsive team to keep seemingly "trivial" issues from ballooning into a full-fledged conflagration. The system is pretty streamlined: fill out an online form and a team member will review and if valid, will address within days. Countless "fires" have been put out through this system and by this team. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In my view, the Lake Forest Code Enforcement Team is truly a force multiplier.

From the very first day, she felt welcomed, and the positive, supportive environment quickly became a safe place for her to grow. Over time, I watched her truly come out of her shell. She became more confident, expressive, and comfortable speaking in front of others. What started as a way to help her socially turned into a genuine passion--she even took on lead roles in her school play and amazed us with her talent. The instructors are incredibly encouraging and knowledgeable, and Brianne has created something really special--an organized, professional program that still feels warm and like a family. This experience has meant so much to our family. Acting class is now the highlight of her week, and I'm so grateful to Performers Academy for helping her find her confidence and passion.
