Courtney made sure all the materials were thoroughly reviewed, and did not cut corners. she taught the class all that's needed in your time as a Security Officer. I really enjoyed her class and is considering taking her PI class with her. I will highly recommend this particular instructor to anyone that needs or want a DCJS license. She was strict and by the book, but made the class go by because she was so funny. If you are thinking of getting your license go to CCJA with Instructor Courtney Leiker. Thank you Indira

Our instructors are well versed in music and represent talent who've performed on the local, regional, and national level. The staff strives to provide mentorship, leadership, and professional standards on a daily basis. I was tasked with working with our student body and our awesome instructors to assist our student body in their pursuit to the stage! I would recommend the School of Rock Fredericksburg to any student or parent looking to assist their child or adolescent in achieving greatness as an individual, as a musician while learning the important team building skills to move ahead in life on our off stage! Our patented system of teaching is extremely immersive, and will provide years of skillsets your student will absorb. Your student will be transformed as he or she will studies.

My son used this for a few months and didn't have much success but I don't blame SwimKids as we…read moreused them years ago in Fredericksburg and give them credit for my son's beautiful stroke! :) The staff here was fantastic, the coaches were always upbeat and positive towards the learning of the strokes. The issue we ran into was my son was in a stroke specific class and they rarely worked on that stroke. The other draw back was there were two kids in that class that were extremely disruptive and the coaches ignored it and the parents did as well. I just didn't feel like I got much out of it at this point but would highly recommend Swim Kids to others if you are looking for a professional swim school and want your child to learn the strokes correctly.

In fact, my home and office are full of the fun projects I (and several family members) have made, so when I saw that they were offering virtual classes, I immediately signed up for two, trusting that I would be able to pick up my promised (and paid for) kits and login for my classes, scheduled for a week after I sign up. I got an email inviting me to pick up my kits at 3:25 PM on Friday, going into Memorial Day Weekend, saying I had until 5:00 PM to come get them. However, I didn't check my email until too late to make it down. I really thought I would be able to get my kits the following Tuesday, in plenty of time for my Thursday and Friday class, but not only was I never even able to get ahold of anyone at the studio by phone, text, email, or in person, though I tried repeatedly over the next few days, I was also never even given link to the first virtual class. When I was finally contacted--on Friday after missing the first class completely--I was only given the Zoom link with no opportunity to come get my kits--again, which I had already paid for. To top it all off, the artist teacher for the Zoom class tried to get ahold of the Stafford studio on my behalf to find out what happened but was also unable to reach them--by this time, they had disabled their phone number--and I wasn't even allowed to participate in the class--again, which I had already paid for. I have tried to be patient and understanding. I recognize that changing business modes is not easy, and my heart still roots for Wine and Design Stafford to come back from this tough situation and provide the fun and relaxing classes I have learned to love. However, this is not way to treat customers or run a business. I have tried to request a refund from the business, but my emails have gone unanswered, and I think I may have to write off the $70+ dollars. I have even tried getting help from someone at Wine and Design Corporate, but they seem to be taking a page out of the Stafford studio's book and will not answer their phone. Fortunately, Wine and Design Fredericksburg is run by a woman with a better head for business, so I will be able to paint again.

I'm kind of dorky and a little square, so I…read moreworried they might look down their noses at me in this too-cool-for-school, hipster-trendy establishment, but the folks working here could not have been nicer. I was encouraged to browse, told about the pieces in shop, and had an interesting conversation with one of the owners about his passion for his craft. Ponshop is owned by husband-and-wife artist duo Gabriel and Scarlett Pons (making the gallery's name that much cuter). Scarlett creates the unique ceramics on display: spouted bowls, blossom-shaped dishes, watering pitchers with what looks like Bob Marley's likeness stamped on the sides, decorative vases, and even hand puppets made from clay and fabric. Gabriel works in mixed-media, putting prints, photographs, and paint on wood, or designing one-of-a-kind skateboards. Along with showcasing their own art, the two feature the works of many other local artists from tee-shirts and jewelry, to plush toys, reusable gift "paper", sculpture, and even soaps. The art in Ponshop is provocative and avant-garde, but the whole place feels down-to-earth and welcoming. I really enjoyed poking around and purchased what I've since dubbed a "scarf-lace" since I'm not really sure *what* it is: a many-looped-and-knotted scarf/necklace made from soft jersey material in heather gray and carnation pink stripes. I've never seen anything like it, but out-of-the-ordinary and pleasantly perplexing seems to be the name of the game at Ponshop.
