They saved the day with the summer drop in dance classes. My daughter was asking for ballet for…read moreawhile and I finally told her she could. She was super excited except the place I found was full! After googling dance dynamic, they had spaces. They were super friendly! They let my daughter borrow tap shoes and said if she was interested they could recommend a place and brand. The teachers were great and gave the kids one on one attention. The only downfall was I didn't like the small window and the blinds were down but open. It made watching the class hard.

My daughter went to another local dance school last year. (That shall remain nameless since I'm not…read morereviewing them) I decided to give Dance Dynamics a try this year and what a DIFFERENCE! From the moment I walked into the studio and asked about the program i got such a warm feeling. It felt like they genuinely cared about every student and knew the families. Just so happened the person I spoke to ended up being her teacher for tap! Ms Eileen is so engaging with this group of 3-4 year olds!! I later found out she taught preschool for 14 years so I feel my daughter is in great hands. She makes it fun each week. They really learn too. "Mr. David" (office manager) greets everyone with a smile as if he is welcoming us to his home every week. He has been more than accommodating with tuition dues and flexible. Thank you David for being such a great person and caring about our kids and the families! Thank you Dance Dynamics.

The Wake Forest Historical Museum is a small museum in Wake Forest, NC but full of artifacts and…read morehistory. The museum has a parking lot in the back and admission is free. If you are looking to learn more about Wake Forest this is the place to visit. The historical house on the property may or may not be open during your visit as it depends on how many volunteers there are on a shift. The museum building was all that was opened on my last visit. The main museum building has a lot to listen, read, and see. The museum focuses on Wake Forest College before it moved to Winston Salem and became Wake Forest University. It also has exhibits on different parts of towns and some notable residents such as Arnold Palmer and Tommy Byrne who was a NY Yankees Pitcher and also the mayor of Wake Forest. "Doctor" Tom Jeffries was an influential man on the campus and has an audio exhibit.

Great museum to learn about the town of Wake Forest. I took both of my kids here (ages 11 and 17)…read moreto learn about our new city. It's located in historic downtown Wake Forest, near the Victorian homes and Seminary. Part of the museum is Dr. Calvin Jones' house, through which we took a tour. The docent was knowledgeable and took us through the first and second floors. The other part of the museum is self guided. First, we watched a film that narrated the history of Wake Forest and how the Wake Forest University helped its growth. The docent then took us around the house belonging to Dr. Calvin Jones, from whom the land was purchased. The home's furniture is either original to the house or appropriate for the time period. The self guided portion of the museum is full of WFU memorabilia, town artifacts, and information boards that told of our little town that survived despite losing the University in the mid-1950s. This museum is a definite must-see to those visiting Wake County. It's free and there is parking on site, as well as on the street.

After seeing a Groupon for the school and making sure their schedule fit for my little girl I…read moresigned her up for class. I didn't know what to expect as it was my first experience going to dance school and NOT being the dancer. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Ms. Rhonda mans the front desk and she is extremely friendly and knowledgable. She immediately made me feel comfortable and made sure I had everything we would need for class. They will order anything you might need and are not pushy about it in the least. My daughter is 2.5 and loves the class. She loves her teacher and each week looks forward to the class. The best part that even at her young age she is actually learning, which as a dancer at one time makes me so happy. Once our Groupon time frame was over, there was no pressure to continue with classes but we have. I am very happy with our experience so far and hopefully will continue to be so for years to come!

"Security is not our responsibility ". This is a quote from the office manager when I said I was…read moreconcerned about the teacher opening the door for the 5 and younger and letting them loose without checking for an adult. OM told me this is not a school. It is not their responsibility to make sure our kids are safe. This after I found a baby sleeping in a running car in the parking lot. Parent was in a back room, with all adults, eating lunch. OM told me they were taking turns checking on him so he was ok, even though car could not be seen from the school door. She then reprimanded ME for saying I find that disgusting, in front of the babies sister. How would sister have felt if police came or if child was abducted or died??? If this is how they protect their own, its no wonder they refuse to protect ours. Chaos and disorganization are overwhelming. No one seems to have any solid grasp on how to run this place. They insist you wear certain colors and styles, but don't know what that is? Set up an event to size and order all outfits... but then no one knew what we needed. Ended up spending more than necessary bc they weren't sure!!! The kicker is my account information is trapped in their system! I tried to delete my account and cc information but it is not an option! What!!? How can they hold my card and personal information hostage. This is terrifying and unacceptable. No where on the site does it have the option to delete my account. Don't trust them. They are money hungry with no concern for your child.

Summary: 4.0 - Free and art go hand-in-hand here. If you like both, NC MoA is worth your time…read more Free admission to the NCMA to see art and history is a gift. If one doesn't mind the West Building (although new, it felt old to me), the different galleries containing historical art pieces (new and old, and very old) organized by continents are educational and surprisingly full of variety. The East Building (original one) hosts both permanent and limited-time collections. I've enjoyed a car exhibit, but my favorite limited-time exhibit featured Academy Award winner Ruth E. Carter's costumes for the movies "Black Panther", "Selma", "Amistad", and others. Her showcase exhibit was well worth the price of admission. A huge museum park provides miles of trails and places for picnics. If one plans accordingly, a series of trails connects all the way from the museum to downtown Raleigh! MISC Opened in 1956. Has pieces that originate from about 5,000 years ago (but thankfully it doesn't take that long to go through the museum). The museum is accessibility-friendly. A museum store and café are onsite. Tours are available. Outdoor concerts are on hiatus at the time of this review for "facility improvements." Be sure to check the museum's website for updates.

The East Building is the original museum, and the West Building is the newer building. There are galleries in both that you can view. The East Building is on multiple levels and there is a glass elevator available with views to the letters outside that spell a message. I like that the museum has a variety of artwork to view, so you can see your favorites or explore and discover new pieces. With the redesigned building, some of the exhibits were made more interactive. I am still learning where my favorite pieces were moved, but I do enjoy finding new favorites as they try to showcase more of the collection.

Love this place. It's a great place to bring your children. Everyone is very welcoming!read more
