  • Balloon Basics

    The instructor was very knowledgeable, but I feel that we should have had more practice time. I loved that the class is small

  • Balloon Basics

    First I have to say the class was excellent!! Second, Randy, the instructor, had a wealth of knowledge with his many years of experience handling balloons. The space was small but it was only two students which was great for one-on-one. I can't wait for his next class!

  • Balloon Basics

    I loved the instructor he was very knowledgeable. BUT I don't feel like I learned everything I could in the course. I would prefer if we can keep the questions to the end of the class. Its different if people need a hand. But I feel we were off topic several times and What I came to the class to learn I did not

    Very nice and informative
