One of us participates, and the rest of us can watch through a glass wall at the back. The teacher is cheerful and encouraging. At this young age, it's mostly an intro to the idea of learning to dance around to different songs in real life, not only in front of the tv at home :-) Plus some fun with singing and percussion.

The music teacher was great. However, we thought we had only signed up for a few classes (it was my…read moredaughter's bday present). I wasn't notified that we had missed over ten and only found out we were still being billed by looking through my credit card statements. I would have expected to get a call from someone asking if my daughter was coming after missing two classes.

Upscale movie theater with a full bar, food options, and luxurious viewing experience…read more Came here with a friend to see Backrooms and loved it! I decided to try a cocktail, and it was reasonably priced. Very similar to what you would get in a restaurant, and it was pretty strong too! I got an orange crush (Baltimore classic) and it came with whipped cream on top, it felt like a whole dessert. They also have an entire wall of draft beers which seemed really cool, I will definitely try this when I come back. They have a ton of food options too, you can get a full meal here if you want. The theater itself is pretty small, and the seats are super comfortable. They are leather and recline, and also have the option to be heated, which is perfect for a chilly theater. The day I came here to watch Backrooms there were a ton of teens, and everybody was talking over the movie which kinda sucked. At some points I couldn't hear the movie over the audience. Maybe I just got unlucky with the time I decided to go. In general, if you're looking for a more classy and extravagant movie-going experience, this is the spot to be in Baltimore!

This truly reminds me of a Alamo Drafthouse type theatre. There isn't waitstaff that brings your…read morefood or actual tables, but it is super close. The theatre we were in held only 79 people, which is definitely an intimate experience. The food types and pricing was very good. We just got a large popcorn and large drink, but we could have gotten alcohol by the ounce, sandwiches, platters, desserts, and not just the standard fare at a regular movie theatre. In addition, the seats were super comfortable, they were heated, you could lay flat if you wanted to and there was a moveable, large tray table in front and to the side of you. I can't wait to come back. I'm relatively new to the area and this will be my choice move theatre now and in the future. Highly recommend seeing a film here.

I admit, I came here for the instagram photos. I didn't get exactly what I came for because you…read moreonly see a limited number of rooms in the house and you can't take photos on the first floor (to protect the artifacts) . . . but it was still a worthwhile trip! First, call ahead (there is no online system so you do actually have to call) to make sure they are giving tours and at what times (only certain days of the week, last tour usually starts at 1 PM). This mansion is another relic from the gilded age, however this one isn't completely stuck in the past and is a living, breathing arts venue. The last residents (she died in 1956 I think) had no children and left it to Johns Hopkins University with the specification it be used as an art museum. And there is a lot of interesting and attractive art, though it's mostly art by European white men. That's just what the owners collected . . . but our docent told us they are trying to diversify the collection by purchasing pieces by artists of color. The libraries are actually part of the Johns Hopkins collection and students can make appointments to come read them or use them for research. There are some nature books and some Audubon books that are so large that they require two people to move and turn the pages. There is also a reading room for students. It was previously their bedroom, which they didn't want displayed. There are some fun little quirky rich people things (if you dissociate from today's capitalistic hell). A 23K gold bathroom. The second wife who lived in the residence was obsessed with herself and had multiple paintings and busts of herself around the home. And her bathtub was surrounded by mirrors, including a mirror on the ceiling. A bowling alley that was turned into a display space for all their expensive artificacts. A lot of Tiffany glass. Antiquities. My admission was 10 dollars with a AAA discount. I think regular admission is 12 dollars.

I do recommend calling to confirm when a docent is available, but if one is, it is definitely worth…read morecoming. There is plenty of parking as it's a bit away from the main Johns Hopkins campus. Our tour guide was really knowledgeable and explained a lot about each room and answered all of our questions. There are a lot of beautiful and unique objects, even though unfortunately photograph isn't allowed in the good rooms. The sheer amount of books they owned and how they present them is pretty inspiring. The Garrett's having their own performance/stage area is pretty unique, and you can even rent the space out if desired. At the end, there's a great display of their Asian art collection, and then suddenly you are back in the gift shop where you started, which has some good items. The tour was more than an hour, but it was really interesting, and all the employees were excited to answer questions, so you could see their passion. It's a great tour and worth doing if in Baltimore.

The have a small but enjoyable wine list and a larger vermu cocktail list. We had a delightful rose, a jamón serrano sandwich with both savory and sweet elements, and stuffed eggplant appetizer, which was kind of like an eggplant bruschetta.

We had a cocktail (Burnt Flamingo) and it was delicious!! I generally like sweet drinks, and my fiancé also likes sweet drinks but not as sweet. This was perfection! Sweet but not too sweet and just right in flavor. I hadn't had Vermouth before, so it was great to try that. However, what stole the show was the Jamon Serrano sandwich! WOWWW!!! As my fiancé said, "this is the best sandwich I've had in Baltimore!"" And pretty much every day since then, she's been thinking about that sandwich and when we get to eat that deliciousness again. Highly recommend!
