Before ending the year, I had to try out Drip Drop Fitness. And I'm GLAD I did! Easy online booking…read moreof a class. I booked a 10am, 60-minute Dance Cardio Class. Driving to the studio, I started to feel butterflies in my gut because I wasn't sure I was going to catch onto the moves fast enough. But I wasn't going to let those butterflies get to me. I let my guard down and wanted to try something new!! Pulling into the parking lot, I liked how there was private parking in the front of the studio. I suggest backing into the parking spot because it would be easier to get out after class. (I personally didn't this time - but next time I will) Walking into the studio, the kick-ass vibe was immediately felt. I was greeted with a warm welcome, brief outline of what to expect, where stuff is and how everything runs. The atmosphere was pretty cool... blue neon lighting, flashing lights, music thumping and positive attitudes from everyone! The class was represented accurately. Simple dance moves with high energy cardio. Once you start forgetting about how the steps are done and get into the beats of the music, the dancing becomes second-hand movements. My motto was to have fun! And that is exactly what I did. I loved it! I recommend Drip Drop Fitness Studio because it is fun and something new! Bye Bye 2018, H-E-L-L-O 2019!

I must say I'm really disappointed with the way my sister and niece were treated. The teacher gave…read moreout the costumes to everyone but my niece, and while all the moms were getting their daughters into their first tutus, my niece and sister sat there completely left out and left in tears. What should have been such a precious moment, was completely ruined. Taking into consideration that the teacher was a mother herself, I would have thought she would have been more thoughtful. My sister had even texted the teacher, and to this day she has not responded. I had been a student at Sharon Davis for many years, and didn't hesitate to recommend the studio to everyone I know, but that will never happen again. I happen to be a pillar in the dance community, and it's safe to say that she made a very expensive mistake. I would take your hard earned money elsewhere.

I've been going to the Leach Center since December. I was able to join because I'm an FSU alumni…read moreand my sister got a membership with me. While I love the pool, hot tub, and all of the amenities, there are serious problems. The staff doesn't know anything about the gym equipment so they couldn't help me get started. I ended up downloading apps for the exercise equipment and using them to find out how to use the machines. The machines that have the capability to have you walk down a road in a country of your choice or stuff like that aren't enabled so you can't do that. They have a bad problem with people loafing on the strength training machines looking at their phones, even though cell phones are not allowed. There is an adult swim class and water polo practice and when that's own, the majority of the pool is reserved. The college closes for Spring Break, Winter Break, etc, and when that happens, the Leach Center is closed, too. Parking is horrendous. There already aren't enough spaces, and when a game is on, they close off some of the lots near the Leach Center. I only found out after getting a citation that membership does not allow you to park in the lot for free. I had to buy a parking permit and that's $65 per semester. I wasn't told about that when I signed up so I'm looking to go to another gym after my current membership ends. I also hate that because I'm not a current student, I can't just swipe a card to get in. I have to give the person at check-in my phone number and that gets tedious.

I appreciate the natural lighting and the staff as well. Things that need to be improved: weight area is too small for the quantity of people here. The gym really just needs to be 24/7. The hours as they are just don't cut it.

This past Saturday of Mother's Day weekend was my first time attending a ballet performance since…read morebefore the pandemic. I will always be grateful for how this non-profit organization kept us entertained while we were "sheltering in place" by creating and sharing videos of various informal performances done around town. Certainly kept us engaged and just compassionate regarding the complete shutdown of their livelihood. In any case, my daughter and I attended the "Invitation To The Party" (a celebration of diversity in music and dance featuring jazz, gospel, R&B, and more), which was held at Ruby Diamond Auditorium. Absolutely loved it, especially the diversity involved in the various numbers that were performed. There was live music by the Tallahassee Jazz Symphony; Leon Anderson and Avis Berry never disappoint! We were also treated by listening to Macia Porter, who was unknown to me. She performed wonderfully as well. We simply enjoyed the entire show. Kudos to ballet dancers, the choreographers, and all others who had a hand in this performance!

Talk about spontaneous!…read more Went into town, discussed plans, and next thing I know we have tickets to see a play at this theatre. The play? Plaza Suite. Funnily enough days later I find out they're going to be doing this on Broadway with Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. Go figure! Anyway, looks like we caught the Tallahassee version of it the day before its closing night. Given the spontaneity of it all, we arrived and were told to go to will call. Went to will call and were told to go back to the teller. Whatever. We got our tickets and sat down. Theatre is quaint, even cozy. Pretty intimate and there really isn't a bad seat in the house. I believe there's a bar outside as the actual pamphlet for the play contained an alcohol menu, but seeing as we didn't partake, I wouldn't be able to give you all the details. Felt the play dragged a bit honestly. Nevertheless it was enjoyable, and well, at least the seats were comfortable. Not to mention that I went with one of my favorite people.

My son started at this school when he turned two. They only take two year olds through VPK (that's…read morethe only negative thing about the school). Ms. Sarah is the two year old class assistant and she is firm, but loving. She talked to my son about the weather and his feelings and he would come home saying the funniest stuff. She treated him like the little person he is, not just another kid. The lead teacher retired this year after 12 years and was replaced by the wonderful, enthusiastic Ms. Alba. Now that he's in the 3 year old classroom, the kids take turns as line leaders and calendar leaders, learning how to share responsibilities while also learning about the months of the year. They also work on their letters, colors, and numbers, of course. The school has a better handle on managing any rare instances of discipline problems than other schools I've experienced. My son has learned great ways to share; how to ask for a turn rather than just ripping something away from another child... and how to accept when it isn't his turn. He's always been tiny and was picked on at other schools, but just as he is learning how to use his words to deal with problems, so are the other children and I find that he doesn't get roughed up at this school. Some Facts: The school is non-denominational. They have the best playground in town. It is open all summer and works great for government workers who are headed downtown. Its holiday schedule matches up with the government's holiday schedule. No fall or spring break to scramble to find a babysitter for. I think the price is very reasonable. You can buy a really healthy lunch for an additional $2.50 per day. The menu changes, but they always have a fruit, a vegetable, a protein and a whole grain. Sorry such a long review ... but it's hard for me to let him go and grow up. The only relief is knowing that when I can't be with him, he is in a place that loves him, protects him and helps him grow.
