I have nothing but great things to say about this place! My son has attended 4 art classes now and…read moreso far so good. Michelle and her staff are always so patient, supportive and positive. They really nurture and just really motivate the children here. The art work that is done by students here is just fantastic. Michelle and her staff really take their time and gives attention to each student. In addition, Michelle is very quick and prompt and has wonderful communication. They are closed on Wednesdays but their class times and days are very flexible. They even offer a first time class as complimentary, the classes are 1.5 hours and 15mins prior to the class they have a showcase of all the childrens art that they completed that day and they talk about their success, this really allows the child to share what they thought was a success about their artwork. All in all I am very pleased, each student has their own work station, and each student is doing something different from water color to painting to drawing. Each student has their own unique style and Renaissance Fine Art really allows children that opportunity to give it their best. Prices are reasonable. Parking is ample, it's right in the Chi-chi's, Big Lots parking lot which shares with other businesses but definitely no issues with parking. Would recommend! Very pleased!

I have been going to Renee's Art Studio since 2000. I have oil painted about 50 works. It is a…read moregreat laid back setting. I always enjoyed going to my evening class. No pressure, everyone is just there to paint and chat. Basically, when you can't pull off the brush stroke you are looking for, Karen the instructor will show you how you can do it. I haven't been in a couple of months because work has been very busy, but I still have the painting I promised my wife on the wall waiting to be finished up. They have great kids classes too. All three of my kids have been going there off and on for the last 10 years too. They will also host special weekend classes with local artists. The artist will show how they perform their techniques, and then you recreate your own version based on their instruction. This is a great way to have fun and walk out with a finish art work in one day.

I took art classes here as a young girl, and the experience my sister and I had was so bizarre and…read moreinappropriate that I still think about it over 15 years later. Although I was very proud of the art I made and enjoyed the process, Renee and the women she employs would bully students into buying art supplies from their studio only. Although I value the importance of supporting local business owners, my family was not well off and my mother put us in these classes so we could do something productive while she was working extra hours to support us... When I came to the studio with supplies purchased from other retailers, I remember the instructor very intentionally broke my palette knife and said, "Well you just need to use one of ours!", which then my mother had to purchase when she picked us up from the studio... rather than the instructor offering to pay for breaking my palette knife... Renee would occasionally make appearances during lessons, but she very coldly scolded my sister and me and told us to go take lessons somewhere else if we were not going to purchase supplies at her studio. I was 9 years old at the time, and my sister 11! I was so embarrassed and hurt that I cried, and Renee showed no mercy. After that, my mother discontinued our lessons. I really did enjoy learning to paint, but it was not worth the bullying I experienced from a group of adult women.

We are incredibly grateful for Ms. Mikaela and the positive impact she has had on our daughter…read more Since starting lessons with her, our daughter has become much more motivated, confident, and passionate about music. The improvement in her skills has been truly remarkable. What stands out most is how much Ms. Mikaela genuinely cares about her students. She is patient, encouraging, and takes the time to help each student grow at their own pace while inspiring them to do their best. We highly recommend Ms. Mikaela to any parent looking for a dedicated, talented, and caring music teacher. Thank you for making such a difference in our daughter's musical journey!

They have had such a wonderful experience here and it is their favorite part of each and every day. Veronica and the rest of the staff do an incredible job of tailoring an academically oriented yet fun & creative curriculum for each individual child. They do a wonderful job of challenging the kid,s yet also helping to build their confidence. I love that they not only work to improve their mandarin language skills, but also writing and math. Each week there are special activities like cotton candy making / boba making days or other fun activities like play doh day or lego day that our kids look forward to all week long. They are also very flexible with our needs and schedule changes and have a wonderful space that is clean, safe, and beautiful. We cannot recommend Leap Dragon highly enough and would encourage anyone interested to at least give their program a trial. We did a trial last year and are so happy we did. We visited 2 other chinese immersion programs and while they were also good, we feel that Leap Dragon had the best balance of caring teachers, a nurturing learning environment, and an affordable price.

Melanie Florio is a phenomenal art teacher. Out of five art teachers that I have had, she has been…read morethe only one that has helped me improve my art. As an example, the images attached show a before/after of a painting I did. The assignment was a self-portrait. This was my first time painting a portrait, and I was having significant trouble. After several hours of trying, and failing at home, I decided to wait until the next time I had class. When I got to class and asked for help, within fifteen minutes--literally--Melanie taught me the applicable knowledge, and some great advice that allowed me to immediately improve the painting to a satisfying outcome. Anybody interested in art is guaranteed to benefit from her classes. Her energetic passion for art is contagious. It is also very clear that she understands, and has the solution to many problems that an artist may face. She has an equal amount of patience and understanding for the beginner student as she does for her most advanced. She is very professional, yet has a genuine humility that creates an excellent learning environment. The knowledge and experience that I have gained through Melanie's classes have been priceless. Even art books, which are my other source of instruction, are so much easier to understand now. There are endless things that can be said about Melanie's dedication to her students, but what she has to offer must be experienced. So, if you are looking for a place that will provide the elements needed to improve your art skills, then M Florio Studio Arts should definitely be considered as a choice that will deliver that and so much more!

What ever level you are at, Melanie teaches to it. Best decision ever!!!! I used to paint in high school and in college. However, I haven't picked up a brush more than 3 times since I graduated 20 years ago. Melanie helped me to work through my nerves and pick up where I left off. While being in class I have heard lessons of technique in various styles of painting. I realized that throughout my life I pretty much self taught. I have been on a journey of unlearning bad habits and learning much better techniques. All facilitated through Melanie! The challenge is rewarding and I have come out with some of the best paintings I have ever done. Give her a chance and you'll never regret it!!!

I wish there was a Lizzy's Schoolhouse when we were younger!…read more My opinion, from an educator who has seen too many things: Not every child is meant for a mainstream classroom. Unfortunately, there aren't many alternatives for families. I'm so glad you have built this brand , and your company is providing an option for families, especially the CHILD! Now more than ever, we are seeing the traditional school system fall short. Children thrive when given consistent opportunities for social and emotional growth in small-group settings that prioritize emotional intelligence and genuine connection!! Exactly what you are doing through close, small-group connections. So proud of the work being done to prioritize the 'whole child' over standardized tests that are completely outdated and ridiculous! Way to go!!!
