Laura F.Reviewed on 03/15/16Very interesting teacher. I felt very knowledgeable and always kept us safe even when we were not listening to what he was telling us. Learned a lot and enjoyed the time with my mother in the class.

The teacher was drinking beer and alcoholic beverages the entire class and while he was knowledgeable it made me very nervous. He also arrived late with a young child approximately 8 years old with him. Other guests that arrived not in the class with more alcoholic beverages to drink. Class also ran so long after the time allotted that I had to leave before being able to participate in the last piece. The studio was extremely hot.
