I highly recommend Step It Up Studios for anyone wanting to take dance lessons. Husband and wife…read moreowners and instructors, Kristy and Drew, are highly accomplished, have won numerous national dance competitions for many years, and are well known in the industry. I'm in my sixties and was needing to prepare for my daughter's wedding. In fact, this included my wife, my daughter, her fiancé, and me. I called and connected with Kristy and was immediately greeted with a cheerful eagerness to accommodate our needs and our demanding schedule. It has been a wonderful process and we are approaching the wedding with a confidence we couldn't have hoped for. Kristy has been my personal instructor and she has been truly outstanding. I have come to define professional excellence in terms of the combination of competence and conscientiousness. Kristy has demonstrated both of these to a high degree. To that she adds compassion, intuition, and a genuine desire for your success. Her ability to assess the student in real time and tailor the instruction to optimize learning, enjoyment, and advancement in each lesson is truly remarkable. We are so very happy with both Kristy and Drew. We look forward to each lesson with respect and excitement. What a wonderful experience! Step It Up Studios has hour highest recommendation.

I am an Indigenous woman from a reservation in Northern Arizona. I am writing this review for POC and specifically Indigenous people who are considering joining the Cedar Moon Collective. I have voiced to CM how they have harmed previous POC and Indigenous people who were members of their collective and past members of SLA. My collective (SLA) and specifically myself have asked them to enact restorative justice and give up the power that Cedar Moon as a collective yields over this land project. As of writing this review nothing is being done to actually practice Land Back and equity between the dominant collective and Sacred Land Alliance. There is opportunity for CM to operate in good relation with the current Indigenous people on the land and the Indigenous community of Portland rather than tokenize and recruit Indigenous people who are experiencing housing insecurity in order to be able to triangulate us against each other. The use of brown people to maintain power over this land project and to deflect the accountability that is currently being asked is a colonial tactic of conquer and divide. If CM is asking you to be a part of their collective without making introductions to the current indigenous family who resides here; that should be a red flag and it's intentional. I am willing to have a conversation about my lived experience and the harms I have witnessed the dominant collective perpetrate against POC with anymore who is willing to to hear me out. Come see me.

Did you know that if you live on or near Portland, OR or believe in ecosystem remediation and integration you fit into the Tryon Creek Farm definition of "Community?" This is YOUR farm peeps! AND you are more than invited to come visit, work and share in the pleasure of dirt under your nails most every weekend. One Sunday a month they have a tea and tour (call for details.) If it has been WAY too long since you scratched the horns of a Nubian goat, consider yourself informed. They gots Nubian goats out there. You can't hear the traffic, there are some innovative structures to oggle (esp that cob oven) and you can view a permaculture garden from the soil up. This intentional community of adults and children is doing their best to bring this land back to Eden. They are having some issues along the way, the wetland is beat up and is causing some probs in their waste water and sewer strategies, but that makes it real. It takes time to clean up what has been fallow for years. Oregon is (in)famous for its hippies. Come out and hang out with some delicious ones. And I am not just referring to the garden edibles.

Many times us ADA folks can't attend things because, even places that state they are compliant... are really unhelpful.
