I seem to find myself in the Kentlands area a lot lately but my 1st time visiting the Art Barn…read more My Cousin was debuting his new Independent Film and, of course, I am going to support. The building used to be a stable that has beautifully renovated. It definitely has farmhouse touches with the wood, faux pocket doors and rustic touches. There is a reception area on the main floor where there was coffee(I love it already!) and refreshments. There is accessible parking out front and an elevator for those who may need it to get to the theater upstairs. The theater is small and intimate with 99 seats. I wanted to take pictures of the theater, but they were doing panel discussions and I just didn't feel comfortable snapping pictures during such a thoughtful process. As I understand it, they also provide services to the community around art in the form Of classes, discussions and even camps for the kids. So yes. . . Gaithersburg has begun to grow on me even though I live in Southern Maryland. I live over an hour away but I didn't mind the drive. I would definitely come back again.

I would caution other parents to carefully review Impact Dance's policies before enrolling…read more My experience with their trial and cancellation policies was disappointing and felt misleading. I enrolled my child in two back-to-back classes for $740 under the impression--based on how the trial was advertised--that we could cancel after the first two weeks if it wasn't a good fit. Unfortunately, the instruction during those initial classes was minimal, and my child felt uncomfortable enough that she didn't want to continue. When I requested a refund after the second class, I was told it wasn't possible because I had signed the contract prior to week one, even though I was not informed that payment and signing could be delayed until after the trial period. This key detail was never made clear at the time of enrollment. Instead of a refund, I was offered a store credit. I explained I wouldn't be able to use it until fall 2025, and at the time, they verbally agreed this would be acceptable. However, when I recently tried to register for fall or winter classes, I was told the credit had expired--and I was only being offered half of the original amount. In short, the policies feel overly rigid and not clearly communicated, and the follow-through on verbal agreements has been inconsistent. I hope the studio reconsiders how it handles these situations in the future.

I recognize that the Magic Duel takes huge pride in 5 star reviews on Yelp, which I deeply respect. But I did wish that we had seen the show in a different venue. I am no stage expert, but lights and sound do matter a lot in delivery of a magic show for a skeptic like me, going because the significant other loves magic shows. With better lighting, things would have been more "magical" (thinking bottles.) I was also surprised that a bubble artist, as good as she was in her profession, was considered a magician. After some quick research, you will end up at Magic Duel in this genre, so please go to Dupont or Georgetown.

I was able to park directly in front of the entrance and walk right in. The setup was really nice--plenty of tables and a huge area for dancing. The DJ was spinning not only the hits but also deep cuts and some previously unreleased versions of his songs. Behind her, a projector played clips from Prince's past performances, which added a great visual vibe to the night. There was a small cash bar offering Prince-themed cocktails, plus beer and wine. The staff were fantastic and even popped in a few times to dance and celebrate with us. The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous--cool and comfortable despite all the dancing. I never imagined this would be such a great place to host or attend a party, but I'd definitely come to another event here.

You can find cool jewelry, ceramics (including chopstick bowls!), paintings, greeting cards, and other things for your body, walls, tables, etc. Great place to come find a gift for a friend, family member, or yourself! The visual appeal of this place enhances the area around it -- even if you don't go in, just the sign is so cool-looking! That -- and, of course, the promise of art inside! -- is what drew me in .... Of course, it's not just the aesthetic that is inviting, but also the people found within. I was greeted warmly and bought my cute card easily. In addition to being a place to see a showcase of locally-made art, there are also classes to be had and things to be learned here! Again, even if you don't attend a class, coming here can -- and mostly likely will! -- inspire you in many ways, including possibly getting you to want to make art of your own, giving you great, accessible ways to enhance your life with more artistry all around! It's a place to peruse when you have the time ... or just 'pop in' and still pick out something really cool when you don't! All-around awesome place! :-D

Yes, that's a bit of shade I dropped;) I love the GIRL POWER, body positivity, dance because you love it and not because you have to be perfect vibes. I appreciate that it's an inclusive and diverse dance studio. Did we find a unicorn? Yes, yes we did. We are so grateful for this bright spot in the DMV. We don't live in Gaithersburg, but it's worth the drive, and it's a long drive! I also love the camps, that are infused with all of the positive vibes mentioned above. My little especially enjoys POMS camp. Sign up, you won't be disappointed.

Well they didn't actually have happy hour. But we got a discount on our bottle of wine so not sure what was going on there but they need to fix their website and be transparent with costs. They also tell you to get there 30 minutes early which is ridiculous. You can get there right before your movie and order during the 20 minutes of coming attractions. The trays in theater 4 were broken and sharp. You could actually hurt yourself on them. They all need to be replaced. The bathrooms were not great. Several doors didn't lock and the purse hook was way too small. Overall comfort, sound and the screen were great. Fix those things and I'll come back!

We were so lucky he agreed to drive well outside of his usual area to perform. His illusions were mesmerizing, and he expertly handled a room full of inquisitive and skeptical kids by getting most of them involved in his performance.

We cannot say enough great things about his professionalism and performance and we would highly recommend him for any event!
