Iana was our approachable, energetic and humorous instructor who led us through several routines. The class was physically challenging but Iana made sure to point out ways to modify moves so we didn't hurt ourselves.

My boyfriend and I took lessons with Jen for 2 years. We mainly learned Waltz, Cha Cha, and Tango,…read morebut we also learned some basics of Viennese Waltz, Rumba, Foxtrot and several Latin dances. She holds 2 dance shows a year: one in the winter at the clubhouse in her neighborhood which is mainly to show parents and family where you're at in your practice with a few routines, and then another in the spring that's at AACC and more of a full on dance show. Jen works with all different types of people, from kids age 4 or so to adults in retirement. She's wonderful with kids, we've seen her interact with them after our classes ended and at the dance shows. She not only teaches Ballroom and Latin to teenagers and adults, but she teaches kids ballet, tap and hip hop. It's amazing the skillset she has. She takes her ballroom/latin students to competitions and trains them to test for different levels. We never did any of that as we mainly just wanted to learn for fun and to be able to dance together, but it was very tempting sometimes as we learned more! We tried out two different dance studios before deciding to go here because we really liked her teaching style. And if you're not understanding something, she will give you different ways to think of it and have you focus on certain areas rather than the whole picture to help you commit different areas to muscle memory, whether it be your arms, your hips, your feet, etc. before moving onto another area. I used to do social dance in college and I was never taught how to make those hips sway in that suave way in Latin dances. I just thought I had to shake my butt, but Jen finally cracked the code for me! Not that I'm amazing at it, but I now know how it works! I could write about this academy for days, but all in all, it's an amazing school and Jen is a wonderful teacher. I would recommend her to anyone.

You feel like you are truly learning - from beginner to advanced - but so much more. Please don't miss her and especially if you have children. We invited Jennifer to work with our children on our Christmas play, and the children LOVED her. She has a way with both boys and girls - they wanted to learn the entire routine, and they did! She is a very gifted dancer and all around beautiful human being.

So, I got to check out the grounds around the main building before the bride and groom arrived for rehearsal. They have a wonderful wandering Garden with Fountains and water features.

In addition to the new main structure, they have Historical buildings and Summer camps.

Howard County Conservancy…read more We'll walk you to see the biggest beaver dam in Howard County Conservancy. Are you excited? Let's walk with us to the Wetlands trail! First you walk from the parking lot to the old barn, you can see it's located by the entrance roadside, and once you get there, walk down the trail, and keep going. You'll be in sort of intersection on your left but we won't turn left here, keep walking and you'll see a walking path *watch on your right with a (ruined) stone gate alike. Walk across the stone gate, turn left and walk for around 10-15 foot steps and turn right, and keep walking until you'll see a sign of small pond on your left, then you're on the right path. You can walk closer to the pond through the short path on your left (that's what we did) and watched any movement around the water, and we found a turtle from here! Or, you can continue walking down the previous path until you see a bridge on your left. From the bridge, you'll see the biggest beaver dam was created along the water line. How cool is that? Another coolest thing was, we bumped into THE BEAVER!! Aaaahhhh!?! Yeeessss!?! We explored and walked back to the trail and found wineberries patch and mulbery tree, so we stopped there and enjoy the berries! *check your left while walking up the hill. Along the walk, we also found A Story Walk, a Demonstration Garden next to Nature Play Scene, a sleeping Eastern Screech Owl, goats house and chickens house. That's a wrap for our good hike today! It was good since the ground was dry and allowed us to explore more around the wetlands 10520 Old Frederick Rd, Woodstock, MD 21163 Daily 9AM-3PM, Sunday Closed inside the Gudelesky Environmental Education Center, with water fountains next to it. some stone trails/path in Clark Honor Garden are accessible both for strollers and wheelchairs.

I had been training with a group of friends prior to ivey league, but there were only a few of us. I was so excited to come to class and have so many people to train with! I have been training at Ivey League ever since. Although I admit It can be a bit intimidating, especially for an older woman like myself ( now on my 50's) it's not what you think at all. The men might have big muscles with lots of tattoos but as I quickly found out, these are some of the nicest, friendliest and happiest people you're ever going to meet. No egos, bad attitudes, or wanna-be-tough-guys, there's none of them here. It's very friendly and inclusive to everyone - no matter their age or sex. Very family friendly. Anytime I had a question about anything there was always someone, either an instructor or another student, available to help me. I've trained at MANY other martial arts places and But there's just something about Ivey league that's truly unique. Walking into the gym is like coming home. I plan on reaching my black belt in Jiu Jitsu one day and continuing to train until the day I literally cannot move lol.

My son started at this daycare when he was 9 months old while social distancing was still in…read moreeffect. My tour with them was virtual, and I had toured many daycares at the time, but this one left me with that "good gut feeling" that this was the place! We haven't looked back since! My son has truly thrived here, as I always notice that he's learned new things even before I've introduced it to him. He has been loved by his teachers so much and he's already made so many friends. He is 2 years old now and says his friends names everyday on his way to school. Impressionable Years is wonderful and I would highly recommend it! I will say that they've had some turnover with some teachers and similar to many daycares, one of our cups went missing and they could improve on some organizational skills but we are all human and they always keep my baby safe and loved and I know it's a great place because everyday since he's started, he's been excited when we arrived and any question or concern I've ever had, has been addressed timely! They are also super clean and clean the toys and rooms often and have "parents night out" usually once a month which is an awesome way to know your kid is with someone you know and trust and you can have a nice evening out or even at home to yourself! I could say so much more, but all I need to say is, it's a great place. Your child will learn, remain developmentally on target (even early), be loved and cared for, have lots of time outside, and establish friendships!

Ms. Kiara displays unprofessional behavior. She allows personal relationships to interfere with her professional responsibilities, creating conflicts that negatively impact the daycare environment and, ultimately, the children. Her involvement of personal relationships with male parents at the workplace is inappropriate, and her communication with parents is disrespectful and lacking professionalism. Do not send your kids here Additionally, Ms. Carrie as well in particular, spoke to me in a very disrespectful and inappropriate manner regarding my child. Her tone was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional, very aggressive which is unacceptable when addressing a parent's concerns and down talking children; racism has occurred at this daycare as well. Parents should feel safe, informed, and respected when entrusting others with their children. Unfortunately, that was not my experience at this daycare. Stay away and stay aware. It's surprising because it's a very good location in Crofton it's the staff that is unprofessional and my child felt as though they were treating others better than my child, unfair and poorly.
