This is a fun post Christmas event! Started by Napoline Zoppè in 1842 in Italy, Zoppè Circus has…read morebeen entertaining families all over the world for years. For some time now, they have been performing at the Chandler Center for the Arts during the holiday season. What I love about them is that they aren't like some of the big modern arena shows that you see. Zoppè entertains guests in an intimate 500 seat tent that brings you right up close to the action. Many generations of the Zoppè family have kept this tradition alive with their many talents and by sticking to the old ways of doing circus shows. Nino the Clown always starts off the show with some fun audience participation with his crazy antics. There are acrobatic feats, rolla bolla acts, jugglers and equestrian tricks that keep families entertained. They really work hard to make this a lot of fun for families and it's pretty affordable too. You can usually catch them on groupon but they sell out pretty quick.

They are very talented with a range of performers across acrobats, dancers, jugglers, singers (the ringmaster has a great voice and energy)...my 3 year old was transfixed by the beautiful acrobat performing on the ropes to titanium sia!

Both her and our four year old son absolutely loved it! They were fascinated from the start of the show to the finish. Our favorite parts were definitely the first half, all the acts had us oohing and awing at some great feats! It was a nice, small, and friendly circus that I cannot recommend enough. We will definitely be going back if they return next year! A quick tip: go during the week and it wasn't busy at all.

Unfortunately I wasn't aware of their bad reputation until after my child was already enrolled. I…read morespoke with the front office regarding the incident that happened two years ago. (In private may I add because it was sensitive information.) I did not agree with everything she said regarding it but I was assured that I could ask to sit with the director and watch the recordings if it would make me feel better because "he has nothing to hide." My child LOVES dance. We go to 3 studios including this one and she is always excited to go to the other two studios. Fast forward to today, the third class. My child does not want to go. She doesn't even want to get out of the car. She compares her teacher to the principal from Matilda and tells me that her instructor forces them to do the splits when she is unable to get to the full position. You don't have to be a dance pro or a doctor to know that, that can lead to injury. I express my child's feelings to the front desk and ask to see the last class recording just to see what's going on and make sure everything is okay. Front desk is very nice and say I'd probably have to wait until the next day or next week since the director had classes. I told her that was fine. Director ends up coming in early. As soon as I saw him you could tell how this was going to go. We all 3 go into a room and I repeat my request to him. He snaps and says NO. That how dare I come and insult his studio, that I'm bad mouthing him, that I'm looking for a problem, that I just want attention. How dare I question them! He practically kicked us out for asking to see the previous class recording. Then back tracked. He came at me questioning if I was a pro and where I trained when I expressed that I just wanted to make sure they weren't risking inquiry by forcing the kids straight into positions they're bodies weren't ready for. He said I signed a paper where it says they will take whatever approach they want to teach the kids. I did not back down because how are you going to come in like that over a simple request. What happened to not having anything to hide? There was so much more including him saying that the rape of the 16 year old girl 2 years ago was "consensual" when I brought it up to explain the previous conversation I had with the front desk where I was told they had no issues showing the recordings because that was the first thing that I had to discuss with the front desk to ask what steps they were taking to make sure the kids were safe. Horrible experience. That owner has major issues.

I'm a huge supporter of their work, not only because i have a few singers in the chorus, but also because of what the organization adds to Phoenix! The ensemble is appropriately challenging, but welcoming to any and all voice types. There are different groups within the organization, so whether a singer is brand new to music, or a pro, they will find a great fit! There is great camaraderie among the singers and each girl is expected to learn, laugh, and grow. Highly recommended for their great concerts and their mission!

You better make sure you check that online newsletter first every little thing because even major events will not be shared via email, posted in facilities or announced. They will also refuse to make their own mistakes right. My son was berated and teased by the teachers kid and I find it hard to believe no one noticed. Your child will not go far or make true friendships here unless they are Morman. It's run as a "not for profit business" by and for the LDS church and every person working there is an unpaid volunteer from the church. I strongly advise taking your kid anywhere else. It will only end in tears.

What better way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Stonewall than to attend "Grande Chansons du…read morePasse", a concert of the Phoenix Metropolitan Men's Chorus. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Some pieces brought tears to my eyes, particularly their moving renditions of "You Raise Me up" and "Bridge Over Troubled Waters". A number of the songs were prefaced by the sometimes funny and often moving personal accounts of some members of the chorus, projected on a screen above the stage, adding impact to the emotions generated by the songs when they were sung. The costuming, dancing, humor, and themes in the performances were quite creative, especially in the second part of the concert which featured selected songs from The Sound of Music, The Mikado, Hairspray, West Side Story, and The Wizard of Oz. I look forward to attending their future performances, as well as that of the Phoenix Metropolitan Philharmonic Ensemble which, together with the Chorus, is under the umbrella of Grand Canyon Performing Arts.
