I can't say enough wonderful things about this dance studio. My daughter started with the…read moremommy-and-me classes, and now she's thriving in her independent classes. The nurturing environment gave her the confidence to adjust to school easily, and she's grown so much both in her love for dance and her independence. Not only has this studio helped my daughter build confidence and independence, but it's also where she's formed beautiful friendships. She looks forward to every class, and I can see how she's is Blossoming. I also want to mention that my other two daughters have gone through this same experience as well, and they've had the same incredible growth, gaining confidence, independence, and a true love for dance. It's been a wonderful journey for all of us. I'm so grateful for the amazing Dance teachers. Thank you Once again DANCE IMAGE

I brought my daughter in for dance class for a few months. I definitely will not be returning for…read morethe next season. Signing up and fees are very complicated. Feels like there's a money grab whenever possible. Strict dressing rules for the younger kids was off putting but tolerable. The worst part is the teacher we had. I can't speak to how other teachers were but Jessica was not a good one. She consistently didn't help correct students on proper movement and provided little instruction. It was like she was robotically gliding through the classes and the children would get confused or bored. I doubt any kid learned a thing about dancing in that class. Only good thing I liked was that my daughter found it ok to be on her own without me in a class setting which will help her feel more independent when it comes to school time. Another scary thing are the stairs to go into the studio. The hand rails have huge gaps that people, especially kids, can easily fall through.

My daughter's teacher, Ms. Julie, is patient, kind, and you can definitely tell she wants the best for her dancers. I love that they offer a wide selection of classes/times to choose from. Give this studio a try - you won't regret it!

This was a bad experience from the start. The owner Michelle has no people skills, she is not…read morefriendly and very rude. Her lack of professionalism is disgusting. She never welcomed and or greeted me and my daughter in a positive way. Day one I walked in and she was behind the counter, it took 10 minutes for her to even acknowledge me. Her husband is worse. He is very rude. He never said hello at all, what he did there I cant even say. He just walks around and gives intimidating looks. The week of recital came around and the lack of communication between Michele and the parents was non existent, unless you are on Michelle's good side. . She continues to say, I will email you the picture of the wig and socks the kids will need the day of. She never sent it, apparently my daughter needed a Huge Lollypop for one of her numbers. No one ever told me to make this for my daughter. My daughters teacher never told me, Michelle the owner never told me. Fast forward to the day of the recital, a parent who volunteers to help Michelle asked me for my daughters Lollypop. Her attitude was horrible towards me when I said "I didn't know she needed this, no one told me"... Everyone is so rude, the energy is bad. This was the first dance experience for my 3year old and it was the horrible. The husband was screaming at all the kids the whole time with this condescending tone to 3-15 year old kids. He was sarcastic and answered every question with an attitude. I volunteered to help back stage to be with my 3year old and her group all in the same age. No one gave me a run down on what to do, bring or need to volunteer. I thought it will be best to bring snacks, I prepared sandwiches for them. took the drinks, took them to the restroom, helped them get ready for the show and kept my eye on them. When the recital was over I helped clean up everything my group was responsible for. I picked up trash, put chairs back, helped the kids gather their belongings. I made sure the girls I was watching went to their parents. As I was walking out Michele (The owner) stops me and yells at me in front of my daughter "You cant leave" Everything needs to be picked up and cleaned up"!! The level of attitude was beyond me. She caught me off guard. I explained to her everything is done, my group is all cleaned up. She continued to scream at me and say ("Its not just your group its everything!!) You cant leave!! She practically held me hostage. I went back to see what else I could do to help and she went wright behind me to watch and make sure I did it. I felt so bullied, I felt hopeless in front of my daughter. My daughter kept saying "mom teacher mad"? I kept saying no baby, everything is okay. This is the picture my daughter was left with. I do not recommend this place or the people there. I was there for my daughters practices and the recital first hand, I witnessed these people treating these kids horrible. If you are a parent with grown kids and just plan to drop them off and leave, this is not the place for you. The energy and vibe is so negative. Trust me, this experience made me hesitate to sign up my daughter to any dance school ever gain.. After running this experience over and over again in my mind. It was the people... Michele and her husband along with any of those mean moms with the real problem. Dance is beautiful and god willing I will find the right place for my daughter.

They are so welcoming to dancers of any level. They offer a wide variety of technical classes as well as conditioning classes. If your child needs extra attention they have a list of teachers that offer private lessons. If you choose to sign up for the recital at the end of the recreational year (highly recommended) you won't regret it. They showcase all their hard work at the beautiful Downey Theatre which I believe only highlights our girls dreams and ambitions. They shine so bright in the quality of the costumes they require you to buy. No attention to detail goes unnoticed. If you're looking to start a new journey or simply try a new dance company I highly recommend giving their FIRST FREE WEEK trial a try.

When the studio closed, I was told the remaining classes could be prorated and used once the studio reopened.

Customers should not be left uncertain about whether they can use the classes they already paid for or receive a refund.

What a little gem in Uptown Whittier!…read more Parking is a breeze even though there is a little bit of a walk, but there is plenty and it is free. Snacks and drinks are available to purchase; wine, beer, cheese/crackers, candy, chips, water. Bathrooms are plenty and clean. But let's get to the auditorium, shall we??? It's so adorable and fancy! The architecture in this place is beautiful, although kinda funky too with it's bright colors. The first time I walked in, I literally was amazed. It feels like a "big league" playhouse, yet it is small and quaint at the same time. Seats are very comfortable with legroom and not a lot of "pardon me, 'scuse me" issues since it is laid out with short rows. I've literally sat in the vey back row of the main level and was able to see and hear perfectly! Kudos for the acoustics. The temperature in the auditorium is also comfortable; not too hot, not too cold. A wide variety of performers at the Shannon Center! Plays, musicals, entertainers, all music genres! Check out the Hawaiian series too. Need something artsy and entertaining to do? Check out their website and see all the upcoming acts.... you may just have your next date planned! Wonderful job Whittier College! Shannon Center is only list of places to "go to" when looking for something to do. CHEERS!

Came here on a rainy Sunday afternoon to catch the Whittier College Department of Theatre's…read moreproduction of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) and was more than pleasantly pleased by both the venue and the comedic performances. While, yes, I am a biased and proud aunt of the female lead, I was still able to cast my biases aside and review the venue as a whole. That said, my niece rules, my niece rules,my niece rules. First off, the parking was super convenient, free, and located on the same lot and block as the theatre. The ticket prices were fair, as they went for $15 bucks a pop. Not too shabby for 2 hours of live entertainment all while supporting the college theatre department. The theatre was on the larger end of the small side. I'm not too sure if there's a larger stage, but the one that we were in seemed to suit the play nicely. I enjoyed that aspect because I really got to appreciate the nuances of each performance, attention to detail, and engage in the communal aspect of being part of a live audience. Good stuff. Oh yeah, the restrooms were also pretty big. On the downside, I wish there would've been more variety at the snack bar during intermission. Not a big deal. Go eat after the performance at one of the many local restaurants nearby. Also, the seats were padded chairs, so be sure to shift your position after some time. Overall, loved it! It's a shame I hadn't attended any previous productions, but rest assured that I'll be returning for more. Support the kids, support the arts!
