Regina Blackmon

Dancing with Regina

I’ve been teaching hand and line dancing for over 25 years in the DMV area.   

Hand dancing is a jazzy version of swing dancing. It is the DC style of couple dancing. You don’t need a partner just bring your comfortable shoes and wear comfortable clothes.

 

Want to learn line dancing. Come out and join me for the latest line dances. Some of the popular ones are Can”t get Enough by Tamia, Keep on Rollin, Girl You Got It …. to name a few.

Carla M. Goodman

GoodYnuff  LLC.

 After working 25 years in community service work, where I was known as Goody, I retired and followed my dream of one day having my own wine label and wine accessories. The GoodYnuff LLC. brand name stems from my story growing up always being told I was too tall, too dark, too fat or just not good enough. As I got older and learned to love and appreciate my beauty, these are the words I tell myself continuously, I Am GoodYnuff…..

Flourish Body Bar

Body contouring or body sculpting is a collection of non-surgical cosmetic treatments used to reveal a firm and toned body hidden underneath layers of fat or loose skin. Everyone has a sculpted physique waiting to be revealed, and sometimes diet and exercise are not enough to reach our aesthetic goals. These treatments target those stubborn fat deposits found in the abdomen, thighs, or “love handles” that won’t budge no matter what you do.

The Arts Center of Montross

The Stafford Arts Festival

Like so many people of my generation, I was told that I could not make a living as an artist and that I had to be a nurse or teacher.  Neither of these professions was appealing to me.   So, I took as many elective art classes as I could but none of them involved learning to paint which was really what I wanted to do. I opened an arts center in Montross, I teach art classes and I am the founder and organizer of the Stafford Arts Festival.

Kit is a member of the Pittsburgh Society of Illustratorsthe Virginia Watercolor Society, and the Fredericksburg Center for the Creative Arts. She is represented by the Libertytown Arts Workshop in Fredericksburg, VA, where she and her husband have recently moved. Her illustrations grace the pages of a new poetry and short story book, “Play Onwards”, by Joseph Flara.  She is beginning a series of paintings all about the beach. Fredericksburg has a plethora of water views waiting to be painted, from youngsters tubing on the rocky Rappahannock to wide open vistas on the Potomac, where the foggy shape in the distance across the water is Maryland. The rosy skin tones against blue water intrigue her, and the layers and layers of sweaty, loudly and minimally dressed beach goers are proving to be beautiful in watercolor.
