Ms. Paula Brown reminds me of the persona of her mentor Mrs. Debbie Allen, because she is tenacious in her drive for perfection, but compassionate toward her students. For example, she knows when they are not giving their best and will push them--even for simple things like remembering to dress in uniform or keeping after their belongings. My daughter has taken jazz, contemporary, and Horton classes, but her favorite is classical ballet. In addition to class, my daughter has been able to participate in fashion shows for Lord & Taylor, a dance competition and annual trips to see the Alvin Ailey Dance Company perform at the Kennedy Center. The end of year recital is a very professional production at the Bowie Performing Arts Center, with beautiful costumes and moving music. In addition, parents are friendly and committed. It is well worth the time and money to send your daughter to PBPAC!

I've seen Kem multiple times, but his Valentine's Day show at MGM was hands down the BEST one yet…read more And honestly? I had zero plans to go. My date was in town for the Hallmark holiday, and we figured we'd just keep it low-key... until we lost money at the poker tables and made a very last-minute decision (literally five minutes before showtime) to grab tickets. Best decision ever. From the first note, the energy was unreal. Leela James brought the house down and Kem sounded incredible. We had an absolute ball in our sweats and tennis shoes. At one point it felt less like a concert and more like the world's best karaoke night because we were singing our hearts out the entire time. One thing I love about MGM is that there truly are no bad seats. Even with last-minute tickets, the view and sound were fantastic. Unexpected, spontaneous, comfy, and unforgettable. The perfect Valentine's night after all.

Attended the Deon Cole performance here and this site is capable of hosting large crowds. Pay…read moreattention to the seating so that your selection aligns with your viewing preferences. There are large display screens to the left and right of the stage. It helps see the artist but I found myself watching the screen more than the stage. One thing that continues to irk me is when people show up late and try to scoot past you to get to their seat. Depending on the build of the person, half of the row may end up standing up to allow them passage. While this can't be helped as things do happen that may contribute to tardiness, the distance from the seat in front of you and on each side is rather close. If you need to stretch periodically, you'll get that chance when someone has to go to the bathroom or returns spilling their drinks as they try to scoot by you. I had no issues bringing my purse in. Some venues do have size restrictions on handbags for security reasons. Entering was easy, the ushers worked well together to prevent bottlenecks for those trying to find their seats. Announcements are made for no heckling, phone use for photos or videos. Violations can result in warnings and/or removal. Upon conclusion of the performance, it wasn't terrible exiting. Things were orderly and the artists do have an area for autographs, photos and selling of memorabilia. Located within the MGM at National Harbor, parking was fee and there are a host of restaurants to choose from if you want to dine before or after the show. Definitely enjoyed myself and look forward to returning for other entertainment options.

Went on the very last day of the exhibition for the season. I'm glad I went but the overall…read moreexperience was underwhelming as far as festivities. The ICE sculptures were impressive as you see in the pictures, and very representative of the movie. You really needed to dress warm, the parks they supplied did not do much for added warmth and even with all my winter gear, I didn't find I wanted to spend a lot of time inside. Once we left, we figured go by the Christmas village etc. they advertised, but literally everything else was packed up. You just went into the exhibit and walked out and that was it. So, im sure similar ones will come along at Gaylord, I guess plan to go when there's more than the sculptures to see.

I rather watch the Polar Express in 144p resolution quality than come here again…read more This was not worth $50... First of all, you get timed tickets for entry, but that doesn't matter honestly, because you're probably going to wait an hour until you finally get into the ICE exhibit. You wait in the Gaylord hallway and then in the Christmas village where they finally scan your tickets, wait in the Gaylord hallway again, back into the village to get these parkas, before you finally go outside to go into the exhibit, which is so small and probably took around 10-15 minutes to go through. I spent more time in this line than the exhibit... The ice sculptures are cute and it's crazy to think someone made these, but it's not worth the money and time to wait in such a line for this! Not to mention some people don't have manners at times so it can get chaotic with taking photos and kids running around. Ice slide is not worth it. This place is not lying about being 9 degrees Fahrenheit so be prepared to be cold. Overpriced "merch" at the end of the exhibit with meh branding and overpriced ornaments and toys you can probably find somewhere else for cheaper.

It's all about encapsulating you into the experience.....And, this venue does just that!…read more The Theater at MGM National Harbor -- delivered on a first rate show and experience for some friends and I. Lucky me, a friend who works for WKYS (93.9 FM) scored a couple of tickets to the....Mary J Blige / Lalah Hathaway Concert and treated us to the show. And, wow!...All I can say is...that it was an incredible show and perfect mid-week treat indeed. This venue was the perfect setting for completly two different artist and shows all rolled into one. Once inside the theater, it is clear to me there is not one bad seat in the house. The design of the venue offered the best views of both performers from all angles, based on where we were seated. THE PERFECT SEAT The intimacy of this venue is what make it special. This is what helps this theater set itself apart from other venues. The layout of the seating gave us the perfect view to the performers. The seating and floor plan range from floor seating, mid-tier level, VIP seating boxes and balcony view seating. Personally speaking the mid-tier (Orchestra) level seating is the best seating in the house! The view was incredible from all angles, without being cramped by floor seating crowd and/or feeling too far away in the upper-tier/balcony seating. Part of our group that went to this concert was sitting in the balcony. During the intermission, I had a chance to see their seating and the angle/view was good....but not the best. THE SUITE LIFE Instead of the regular seating, you can step it up to the VIP suites. The Theater at MGM National Harbor houses seven VIP suites where guests can enjoy the view from private boxes and can have access to an private entrance, VIP-only full-service bar and catering offerings. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to experience it myself...lol....but I am sure it will allow for the complete experience and convenience of food/drink runs during a show. TO SUM IT ALL UP In all, I was impress with "The Theater!" From the show experience to theater's design is all-inclusive. The lightning and acoustics was perfect too. The layout wraps you around the main focal point...which is the artist. The sightlines from where I was sitting...to walking the floor...to hanging with friends in the balcony were equally all good in my book. I definitely will be checking out more events at this venue! TIPS 1) The mid-tier (Orchestra Seating) - Section 103 are the best seats in the house! You can see everything from this section and worth every penny. Trust me, you'll thank me later! 2) The lines for the bar can get very long on the main level. Go to the bar on the balcony level...there was little to no lines or long waits. 3) Make it a dinner-show thang. Before and after the event, the food courts and restaurants were still open which was make it perfect enjoy your night and the complete experience all in on place...and not have to go anywhere else for eats or drinks.
