I honestly can't say enough good things about Kate. She is possibly one of the kindest, most loving…read morepeople I have ever met. She choreographed my husband and my first dance for our wedding, and it was awesome. She was so patient and calm, even when I wasn't. I was constantly reassured, and it made the experience so much fun. She taught us the steps, which was great, but even more importantly she gave us confidence in our abilities. On the day of our wedding, my bustle was having all sorts of problems, so we had to cut a big move out of our dance. I thought about what she would tell me to do, and it went off without a hitch! I'm so grateful to Kate not only for making our dance special, but also for allowing us to goof off and have a great time during rehearsals!

This review is looong over due. My husband and I were looking for a choreographer after we…read more"practiced" our first dance and realized the only moves we had were from middle school. I remembered a brochure given to me from a bridal show, and went digging for it. After contacting Kate, I somewhat nervous about our first lesson, but Kate made it so fun and easy to learn the steps, and I was very shocked that she choreographed our dance, both partners' steps, before each class and could remember and teach them back so effortlessly. She has a warm up before each lesson, then breaks down each and every step. Plus, she posts your dance lesson for you to watch again and practice on your own. The dance steps went with our music went perfectly, and I couldn't imagine not having had a choreographed dance for our first dance as husband and wife. To top it off, my father and I went to see Kate too, to practice a father-daughter dance since my dad had multiple knee surgeries and trouble moving quick-steps to music. Kate is the whole package- along with her brother, they slowed down Temptation's "My Girl", quite a bit, but you would NEVER notice. Oh, and did I mention Kate is like, the WHOLE package?? She worked with my wedding planner, DJ, and venue coordinator to practice in our venue before the wedding. She was there on our wedding day! She taped up the front of my dress so I wouldn't step on it, and ran through our dance before we took the floor. I did not expect all of Kate's services with her price. I can't thank you enough, Kate, you made our first dance absolutely PERFECT.

Ok. This school deserves a 5 star review. As a former student as of April 3, 2019, and graduated…read moreand as of April 29, 2019 I officially got my license and went to state board and passed with flying colors. This school from day one has been amazing, so supportive, enthusiastic, and I had the greatest experience from the teachers including Ms lynda - Every girl that I've ever come across in this class has been impeccable, amazing, outstanding words cannot say enough of how deserving the school is each and every girl from day one!!! The school from day one prepares you gives you all the knowledge and teachings you will ever need for an aesthetician they give you bookwork, they give you test, hands on training can you even get to work on clients and they can book appointments with you Tuesday through Friday at 5:30 and 730 appointment times they teach you everything from waxing to using high frequency microdermabrasion, and chemical peel with enzyme peel's you name it they will teach you everything. Miss Felicia was 100% correct when she said the esthe girls have a bond like not other. I've walked out with friend for a life time, and a school experience I'll never forget. Not to mention when we all graduate individually we get a potluck and the tunnel!! With all the barbers and esthe girls in support of our success. Thank you thank you for giving me a career I absolutely love.

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!!!…read more Wish I could give it 0 stars! Can't believe this POS is still even open! I attended the Esthetics course for this school from 2003-2004. I (like so many other students, more then half!) found it almost impossible to finish on time because the school was so boring. It took me a year but I managed to finish those boring hours eventually! I wasn't aware that Paul Mitchell existed until after I had signed up here but 16 years later am STILL sorry I didn't transfer there instead despite the fact that it was 3 times more expensive. Well worth it if you ask me! We NEVER had any "clients" to work on so we always had to practice on each other which was terrible because we didn't get enough real experience. My teacher was a very nice woman (the only nice thing I can say about this school! I did like my teacher ok!) and she noticed I was struggling and the school made the offer that I could go to night school if I needed to to get my hours that way. That made it worse! The teacher was only there from 9-5 everyday so I wasn't even being supervised after 5 pm except by the cosmetology teacher who spent her time telling me about her special diet. I pretty much paid them to sit after hours in an empty classroom and they actually let me!! All of this isn't even why I HATE this school though! My real motivation is the fact that right after I graduated I had a baby and became a stay at home mom, so I didn't go for my license but obviously still planned to. About 7 years went by and I couldn't find my proof of hours because they were repossessed in my storage unit so I contacted the school about a new copy of my proof of hours. The snotty woman on the phone informed me that "they are legally required to only hold onto those records for up to five years and it had been seven, but since it had been so long I should probably go back to school anyways since I probably don't remember anything anyways". First of all, this is NOT rocket science and I have a photographic memory so I actually remember 3/4 of what I learned despite the fact that it has been 16 years now! I recently reached out to the state board because I apparently forgot to finish paying the last quarter of my student loan off (darn) and have been denied financial aid to community college today because of it. While I was checking that info on the government website it showed that I attended the school from 2003-2004 and in fact graduated, but naturally that is NOT enough proof for me to take my test! The only proof I can use is from the school, who apparently wiped their asses with it years ago. Thanks guys! Btw, I paid a little over $2000 back in 2003, today they charge $10,000! I would rather stab myself in the eye then pay another school like this that much money to "retake my hours" Hope this helps! Please do check out the reviews that are "not recommended at this time" as well. There are 18 of them and half of them are bad! Sneaky sneaky!!

As far as swim schools go for my son, I can only compare Floaties (@3yrs) to SD swim school…read more(@5yrs). He also had a swim instructor as part of summer school, but that wasn't a swim school. I'm doing my review from my son's new-to-swimming/basic swimmer perspective. Classes that teach more advanced swimmers may be different. SD Swim has certified American Red Cross instructors who presumably use that methodology for instruction (though it isn't specifically stated on their site). Floaties instructors use the Floaties Way, which they're all trained in. SD Swim takes place at Mt Carmel High School's swim facilities, which have the typical chlorinated pool common to most homes and public swim areas. Floaties has their own locations that use heated salt water pools. For SD Swim, I like that each class has an instructor *and* a lifeguard in the water watching the group no matter how big/small. Some groups had six children, some had two. My 5yr old was the only one in his class because the other groups were filled, but he still had a lifeguard watching him while he was being taught. Safety is clearly important here. The instructor taught my son to float on his back (which he was somewhat familiar with from Floaties). Then he was taught to float for a bit on his belly before rolling onto his back again. This was a new technique that made a lot of sense when I saw it. If you accidentally fell into the water and weren't a good swimmer, you can hopefully roll yourself onto your back and breathe. Or if you don't have stamina, you might swim on your belly for a bit before rolling to your back...and back and forth. The instructor was also trying to get my son to sort of swim on his side with one cheek out of the water...in a kind of pre-freestyle position. He didn't quite get it, but I could see where it was going. Facilities-wise, there are about five or six spray showers against the wall to the side of the bathrooms. There are also three stalls adjacent that you/your child can change in. The stalls are only covered with thin plastic tarps that have rips in them (at least, as of this review). A small wind means you could be getting a face full of plastic stuck to you if you're not wary. Or you could be giving someone an eyeful if you really want to change there. Getting my son into the women's bathroom stall to change was a chore, and I realize that some parents don't want their girls seeing penis, which would certainly happen with my squirrelly son. Some doors on the larger outdoor stalls would be a convenience. If you know your kiddo is fine with water on his/head, and you don't mind the regular pool (chlorine), then I recommend SD Swim. Their instruction and focus on safety is admirable. Floaties has the heated salt water pool that I mentioned before. They start beginners off by slowly dribbling water over the child's head and distracting them with a variety of toys floating and hiding in various areas around their pool. It's possible that several classes will be dedicated to overcoming a child's fear of water this way. I'm not sure how SD Swim does it so I can't compare. Lastly, price. SD Swim is not as expensive as Floaties for the same number of classes. This might also figure in to your decision.

My daughter has been in the small groups if just two kids for 3 sessions now. That's 3 weeks total…read more Great experience so far. We've had different instructors each week, but they all are using the same method which is to teach the kids how to float on their backs, the swim on their backs and eventually swim on their front. This is to yeah them to be water safe from the get go. My daughter has learned so much in such a short period of time. I'm very impressed with how sweet and encouraging they are with the kids. She's almost 4 and they are full of praise for her efforts and high fives. We love the week long sessions for 5 days in a row. That's about what we can handle right now. She's exceeded my expectations and I'm thrilled with our experience.
