No lean back, recliner, vibrating chairs, with food service served to you. No it is just a plain small theatre with one popcorn machine, a few concessions people, some candy for sale, a nice somewhat elaborate coffee barista area, and a few select movies showing. I love the quaintness of this theatre. I loved the quirky decor. And I really enjoyed their coffee as well. I came here during the winter when they were showing It's a Wonderful Life. Not only was it was my first time here at the this theatre, it was also my first time seeing this movie. Prior to the showing, a worker stood in front of the theatre to address the crowd with beautiful facts about the movie and Jimmy Stewart. It is an annual event, so if you are curious this is a great way to spend an afternoon. They also have a soap machine making what represents "Snow" outside as you enter the establishment. People also came dressed up in fun winter and Christmas gear. I highly recommend this being done at least once. And if not for this annual showing, any fun date.

Friendly young staff works here, high-quality movie theater, great food choices. What more could you ask for it? We just moved and we were looking to see our first movie in our new city. First we went to AMC playing the same movie, and decided to not stay due to the atmosphere that seemed very depressing. When we saw the same movie was playing here a half hour later we decided to try it out and I don't think I'll go to any other movie theater in New Orleans again! Love that we found this. Can't wait to bring friends from out of town here.

I was taught by Mrs. Jeanne who is tough but absolutely wonderful, not to mention strictly trained and incredibly knowledgeable about all things pertaining to the art of dance. I grew up dancing with her daughters, Jeannette and Suzanne, and I am thrilled I see them teaching my daughter now. If you are looking for someone to coddle and pamper your child, look elsewhere. These woman are INCREDIBLE. Strict, but for good reason. They have unparalleled discipline and respect for this art form, and it's a great place to send your child to help them learn to succeed in every avenue of life. During my 15 years dancing here, I gained discipline and confidence that has helped me succeed throughout my life. I've loved my experience here, and I highly recommend this dance school to anyone looking.

1. Foreword I'll begin by saying that several other parents…read morewho have dancers here have chosen not to write reviews in an effort to limit access and/or exposure of their children. I for a long time had the same reservations that they have and as any other parent would have, as we all go through great lengths to make sure our kids are protected. So, I wouldn't be sharing if I didn't have the utmost confidence in the staff's ability to watch over my little lady and maintain the same level of safety and mindfulness that they have shown for years. All that said, I'm happy to be the first to write a review that I believe will be more comprehensive and more representative of an experience that spans just of over half a decade. 2. The Beginning My daughter is nearing her 7th years now, she wasn't yet two when she was placed into her first leotard. We originally chose Off Broadway because they were the only studio we could find who took on students as young as she then was and who were open to taking kids who were only partially potty trained. By partially I mean she knew how to use it and would stop to go sometimes but if she was truly enjoying herself then all bets were off. Although this is the reason we began bringing her to OBDS, the reason she would continue to attend this studio was much more endearing. 3. The Patience For the first year and a half to two years, my daughter would cry every time I dropped her off for practice. This it not an exaggeration, she would cry EVERY...single... time. I was sure that I would be asked to stop bringing her until she had outgrown her dependency on me but that never happened. Each day Mrs. Jeanne or Mrs. Jeannette, would tenderly peel my little girl off of my leg or my arm or out of my hands and ease her into the day. Only they know how long it took to settle her down and actually begin the class. It didn't take long for me to heed the effort that was put forth to making her feel comfortable. 4. The Development As time went on the crying waned until it was gone completely. And for the first year or so dance and the recitals were more of an adorable pastime for me and vicarious rebirth for her mother. But at year two she was beginning to look like a dancer. She had picked up much of the movements and positions some of which she would even teach to me. I would often get corrected for "sickling" but one knows one is learning when one can teach it to another, especially when one is but four years old. This coming year she will try out for company and if she make it then anticipate that I have only began to witness her growth. 5. The Regimen It can be difficult to find a safe and structured environment for kids to thrive in. And although you want the children to enjoy themselves like any other activity you put them in, you hope that they can pull something even broader from the experience, something even beyond the proper way to Tendu or Arabesque. The kids clearly love the staff at OBDS but they also respect them. And I believe that respect is in part garnered through the expectations that are placed upon them. They are to know what leotard to where and when, what behavior is and isn't permitted when they arrive, and how to properly prepare once they have walked through the door. This kind of rigor and precision isn't expected much nowadays and to be honest as a kid I wasn't a fan of it at all. However as an adult I now understand the overwhelming value it held then and that it holds still today. 6. The Family Most family ran businesses are family ran in name alone. OBDS is a family ran business that feels like a family ran business. Mrs. Jeanne celebrated her 35th year of the studio just this past May, 2019. She has been flanked by her two daughters Mrs. Jeannette and Mrs. Suzanne for as long as we have attended. They know the name of every student, collaborate on every dance, and converse with every parent. In all my time I've witnessed only professionalism and love. That's saying a lot when you have parents who constantly interrupt class, bring food or drink in the studio and many other foolish acts that a parent should know better than to do. I have even had some of that professional patience extended to me as I struggle to get daughter to class on time some days after switching to a new school. But traffic or not I know what expected of me just as my daughter knows what's expected of her. And the fact that it is a standard that's applied across the board no matter tenure is something I can't help but to respect.

And who goes to the movies without getting popcorn? I was pleasantly surprised to see they had caramel popcorn--you can smell it as soon as you walk in. That said, the theater is definitely older. The reclining seats show a lot of wear, and it's clear it's a shadow of what it used to be. When I went, there were only about eight other people in the theater, so it was quiet but also a little empty. Overall, it's not my first choice for seeing a movie, but if the film I want is only playing here, I'd still go and chalk it up for the convenience.

The parking lot looks like a slight upgrade from the movie I am Legend. It's dark with overgrown weeds and trees, which some are covering the existing parking lot lighting. When you walk in, there's nobody to greet you, and also no kiosk to purchase tickets. You have to stand in line with everyone else including those in line for concessions. With the price of movie tickets, you'd expect this not to be a thing. Fortunately since it was a private showing, we already had tickets, however I stood in line for popcorn which took nearly 30 minutes with only 2 other guests in front of me who each walked away with 2 medium popcorns and 2 drinks. Another gentleman was quite annoyed and voiced his frustration about having to stand in the same line as concessions to purchase tickets stating how ridiculous it was and I agree. Once seated, the leather like seats were old, worn and peeling terribly. It was so bad, my friend who had on a white sweater, had pieces of the fabric all over the back of her sweater. I probably won't visit this theater unless free or until upgrades are done. Regal really needs to step up their game!
