This is the best Real Estate school in Louisiana with the highest passing rate (around 82%) so I'm…read moresurprised I'm the first to review! I'm so thankful I found this school. Burk is an AMAZING teacher who genuinely cares about each of his students learning and passing. I struggle in a class setting because I am pretty sure I have ADD. But I struggle even more with online classes so I knew I needed the class setting. Burk teaches in a way that is very engaging. He has a very calculated way of teaching designed to give you mental breaks (telling stories, cracking jokes,) which prevents you from just feeling overwhelmed and spacing out. I really enjoyed his classes. He offers a two week course Mon-Fri 9a-1pm monthly. You can sit through it Again for free for up to 3 months. I sat through it twice because both of my boys got sick and derailed my study time. I was thankful for the opportunity to attend twice. In addition to learning the ins & outs of Louisiana and National Real Estate, he had professionals sit in to show us a mock closing, and talk about home inspections. He also offers night classes. Not only does he offer Baton Rouge classes but also Lafayette, Lake Charles, Mandeville, Monroe, and Metairie. I came for Louisiana Real Estate but he offers many courses including Mississippi Real Estate, Mortgage Origination, Home Inspection, Residential Appraiser, Insurance, Auctioneering, and Louisiana Broker. His wife Lisa teaches the math portions and she's wonderful, she also offers a math tutoring class monthly. I can't wait to pass my test and get my License! Thanks to Burk I'm convinced this will happen sooner than later. When you arrive, pass the building take the first right and park in the lot BEHIND the building (behind comic store.) He also has a computer lab available to all students to use all day during the week. This was extremely helpful for studying. Thanks Burk!

So excited to finally check this place out! Heard about MP&M for years but never even knew where it…read morewas located. It's tucked on the corner of Esplanade and Sevenoaks in Baton Rouge, but the address is actually Jefferson Highway. They share a building with a salon that I walked in (as I don't think they have a sign for the salon). Cute sign for Mud Pies & Masterpieces outside, just further entrance from Jefferson Hwy. Came here for a 9 y/o girl birthday party today, and immediate to was impressed with just how fun and colorful it was on the inside. Locally owned by Tara and Stephanie who set it all up, taught the painting class, and helped with clean up. The birthday girls' mom shared how easy it was to host a party here and that her daughter loves going there. They offer camps and private events, so check them out! I know we'll be back!

While searching for something to do in BR for the weekend, I came across this event. I attended the…read moreFriday night show at the downtown library. Very entertaining and engaging. Seating was limited in person due to social distancing requirements, however, there was a virtual experience option. I will definitely return next year if available. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the event was held in a room with no food or drinks allowed with no breaks.

Set up all the canvas, easels, did & got the cake ready, punch ready, everything well planned out and organized. All we have to do is show up! We had the kids paint Olaf the snowman from Frozen. They loved it. Md Denise was wonderful with the kids they all paid attention to her and all the little snowman paintings turned out so cute. It was great that at the end of the day the kids went home with their own unique creation. I highly recommend this place. They were pleasant to work with and the kids had such a great time we will definitely be back.

Great experience with DeFrances! Convenient location on Coursey near Jones Creek in Baton Rouge…read more Very nice staff who work here. One of the best dance places in Baton Rouge that's been teaching girls and boys to dance and compete for years. My girls sadly only wanted to dance for a couple years, but if/when they ask to again, we'd gladly go back to DeFrances. My girls loved their teachers, and I always enjoyed the parent watch classes. DeFrances always chose beautiful costumes and were incredibly organized for the recitals. We danced with another local company before, but DeFrances definitely had it down to a science especially compared to the other place. Dance is an expensive hobby (in my opinion) but well worth it for the skills learned and confidence earned. I would bring my girls back here in a heartbeat and saw no reason to not recommend DeFrances to other parents out there looking to start their kiddos in dance.

I recently had a horrible experience with this dance studio. If you have a non caucasian child I…read morestrongly suggest you do not choose this studio and if your child already attends I suggest you seek another establishment. I am saddened that I witnessed racism amongst the children. Although I understand racism is a learned behavior and begins at home with family, a place of business should not be tolerating it. Especially with children! I am sad for the child who has learned already to discriminate but watching someone I care for deeply be subject to racism is heartbreaking. I can NOT sit quiet and let De Frances know that their refusal to even address the issue is ok. A young child has been forever effected by these interactions during an innocent dance class. No child should ever be made to feel ashamed over their skin color, ethnicity, religion, etc. I am appalled that adults in charge think this behavior is ok and claim there's nothing they can do or say because they can't control what other families believe. Really, REALLY De Frances? You want to send the message that little kids having to experience racism while in your care is a better option than addressing the issue. If you think addressing the problem is uncomfortable for you, imagine the little one whose confused about being discriminated against by fellow students over her skin color. And to learn you all just don't even care. Unacceptable.

"I dreamed a dream in time gone by..." - ahhhh lyrics from one of my favorite musicals. Can you…read moreguess? Yup, "Les Miserables"! Playmakers helps build that foundation for those aspiring thespians. Whether your child has an interest in singing, acting or just loves entertaining people, Playmakers is perfect for them. My daughter took a poetry theatre class with them and was in a group of 4-7 year olds. It was perfect, too, because it was just the students and the teacher in the class (no parents could watch until the finale). It was nothing intense, but got them to memorize several nursery rhymes and perform them in front of the audience (parents & siblings). There was at least 10 kids in the class, so I was amazed to see all children perform in unison. For a teacher to be able take control and teach the kids in a short hour in only 8 weeks is made this worth it for us. The end result and seeing the children perform beautifully was fabulous! I hope she gets to take another class session or a camp with them soon. Check their website for seasonal class sessions that are broken up by age ranges.

A great place to introduce your children to theatre and cultivate their live for the arts!read more
