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.

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.

A very beautiful exhibit at the Gaylord hotel. ICE! at…read moreNational Harbor is impressive, well-organized, and exactly as cold as advertised. Parking around National Harbor is plentiful, though expect a bit of a hike through the hotel to reach the back corner where the Christmas Village and exhibit entrance are located. You can pay for parking at a small booth near the entrance, which keeps things straightforward. Before entering the exhibit itself, you pass through the Village area, which includes an ice slide attraction, Santa's workshop, and a retail shop. Entry requires a ticket--about $50 per person--so it's not cheap. Once inside, you follow a serpentine path with areas where you can touch real snow, plus a small display explaining how the exhibit was constructed. You're issued a blue overcoat before entering the main exhibit. Take it. Even with the coat, it's cold. Inside, it's about 7 degrees, and the rules are clear: do not touch the ice sculptures. This year's theme is The Polar Express, and the exhibit follows the story through several themed rooms that showcase the craftsmanship of the ice artisans. The detail is striking, and there are ice slides if you're brave enough. It's beautiful, very cold, and memorable--but your time inside is limited due to the cold temperature. When finished, you return the coat and exit back into the Village. Overall: very cool (pun intended), impressive, and worth seeing at least once. We also caught the Cirque: Spirit of Christmas show in the stunning atrium, and it was an absolute highlight of our visit! The production follows a sweet girl-dreaming theme with magical spirits guiding the story--perfect holiday vibes. The performers were phenomenal: from the ladder walker and high-wire artist to the incredible juggler (she stole the show for me--her skills and energy were out of this world!). Everything was packed into a surprisingly tight stage area, which made the precision and high-flying stunts even more impressive. It wasn't very crowded when we went, the show runs about 30-35 minutes (just right), and it felt well worth the ticket price. If you're at the Gaylord for ICE! or the holiday festivities, don't miss this--it's a dazzling, feel-good addition that left us smiling. Highly recommend!

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.

My mom went here the day before and only paid 18 bucks for the same exact treatments I had (wash, , deep condition, blow dry, trim, press and curl). Of course I didn't find out until after my salon visit that she paid no where near my amount (she had a senior citizen discount but it still doesn't excuse the overcharge). I should have known something was up when the educator asked me to pay some of the amount in cash and not all on my card. This is giving me signs of scamming. I paid for a deep condition yet not a cap or hooded dryer was used in the process. Makes me wonder if they just used regular conditioner instead of a deep conditioner. It didn't even sit on my hair for a minute before it was rinsed out. My hair was extremely tangled and dry after the wash and conditioner to the point my scalp was hurting as the stylist was combing it. I have 4c hair so moisture is essential on natural hair (but hey, I'm not the expert). I use Aussie moisturize deep conditioner at home and I know how my hair should feel afterwards and how nice the comb should be able to glide through. Called and spoke with the educator after my visit (didn't get her name but sounds like same one that took my money) and questioned the difference in prices and the deep condition treatment. She states (with an extremely long pause to the point I thought that she hung up), "due to my hair density and length I was charged this amount" and "their conditioning products are so good that you don't need to sit under dryer." Of course I don't believe this (but won't argue with her). I was charged based on density and length before anyone touched my head? Additionally, my moms hair is longer than mine. I arrived there with a wash and go ponytail so my hair shrinks to my head that you can't even determine the length or density by looking at it. So this is bogus. I usually stand clear of salons because of my anxiety due to horrible experiences (in particular people not knowing how to care for natural hair) and this has added to it. I will just continue to do my own hair as I usually do for all this headache.
