I have two daughters that have been dancing at CFDC for the last several years. They have had…read morewonderful instruction and have learned so much in the nurturing environment encompassed at the studio. The teachers are caring, the owner is great to work with, and the students are all like one big family. A great place for my children!

I called the dance studio twice (one about six months ago when I was shopping for dance studios in…read morethe area for my daughter and again just this week because I was unhappy with the one I chose only because it was closest to my work). Both times the owner answered and she was extremely personable and answered all of my questions without hesitation or a drop of sarcasm-- nothing! I found out everything I needed to know while I was on the phone with her and that alone was a good experience. She allowed me to do a free drop in for my daughter to try it out and see if it would be a good fit. It turned out to be great, especially after leaving the alternate/other dance studio I had just left and was disappointed with. The studio is cute and nicely updated on the inside. The instructors were happy to be there. My daughter enjoyed herself-- I will be returning. They even offer drinks that you can buy from a fridge in their lobby, which is a plus for me! Oh, and you can watch your child from large screens posted in the lobby. Score! :)

I went into Jeffrey's photography class knowing next to nothing about how to operate a camera, and…read morecame out feeling knowledgeable, confident, and genuinely inspired. Jeffrey is an absolute pro... he can look at any camera and instantly show you how to take beautiful photos with it. The class was made even better by the group itself! It was a diverse mix of people, all with different cameras but a shared goal of learning and creating. Everyone was kind and supportive, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. The class was hands-on, engaging, and packed with practical tips I'll be using for years. The pricing is more than fair considering the amount of knowledge and confidence you leave with. I can't recommend this class highly enough! Thanks, Jeffrey.

The…read morecost is reasonable, the virtual classes have been well-run, the teachers have been great, and the bookstore was super responsible with sending shipments and issuing refunds (I would get customer service responses within the day after emailing). Only 4 stars because I find their online portal a bit confusing- it was a little convoluted to figure out how to register for courses and access the course materials at first. But overall, two thumbs up and I would definitely recommend for lifelong learners!

David, the tour guide, started this business as our Nation's first ever photo safari and has been running it ever since. He knows photography and knows how to teach it and practices what he teaches. On top of that, he's lived in DC for 45 years and knows the city and will share all of its secrets with you. If you do the half day, you'll start by the White House and visit the Einstein Statue, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Memorial Korean Memorial and will send at Union Station. Highly recommend!

He basically explained what the Silent Drill Platoon would do, and then left us to our devices. He spent most of the time chatting with one of the students who it seemed like he knew.
