For years, I wished I could confidently swing dance. I love to dance, but never had the confidence…read moreto dance with a partner. I took quite a few different dance classes, but the classes were usually too large and I never felt like I really "got it". Then, as if by divine intervention, I met Shari Fortino and her husband, Mike Smothers. How fortunate am I that these two talented, gracious and lovely humans teach a variety of ballroom dance styles right here in Morro Bay. Shari owned a thriving dance school in Bakersfield for many years before moving to the coast. If you've ever wanted to REALLY LEARN how to dance swing, cha cha, fox trot, rhumba, etc., I would give Debonaire School of Ballroom Dancing 10 stars, if I could. See you on the dance floor!

My girlfriend has been a member for years since moving into Paso. Her primary fitness center was in…read moreSLO, when she was employed down there, but due to a change in jobs, her time is now spent in Paso. I've been an on again, off again member since 2021. Working in Oakland and being home just once a month made it difficult for me. Fast forward to 2025 and I retired and added myself, again to her membership. While my fitness goals have changed, I returned to the club and have been using the pool three days a week. With a reconstructed knee and shoulder, this just takes pressure off those joints. I've been happy with my time at the club. It can be daunting to "get in, get out" during the busy periods of the days, when equipment is being used and you are waiting. I've been lucky to get my workouts in quickly in the early afternoon, both in the weight room and in the pool. The one complaint I know my girlfriend carries, is the availability of classes, especially in Paso. Her going to SLO after work made things quick and easy, but the class schedule is hit and miss for her in Paso. She does with there was a bit more consistency. Aside from that I've been happy with the equipment and cleanliness of the facility. The staff has always been attentive and able to answer my questions. Even better, the pool was redone in Paso (2026). Thank Kennedy for a good club experience

Not immune to challenges faced by other jr high schools (even private schools in our experience)…read morebut they seem to attract a gentler group of students. Sometimes I wonder if this is because the kids are around other age groups (it's for grades 4-8) and not just other jr high students. Or maybe part of it is the arts-based curriculum which gives kids some wonderful outlets for their talents. They don't have to pretend the arts aren't cool to fit in with their peers. One thing I've finally learned as a parent is that what may be a great fit for one kid is not for another. However, two of our children, both very different personalities, have gone here and it has been an excellent experience for them. We've had several teachers go out of their way on several occasions and have felt warmly embraced in the community by Principal Rubin and Chris in the front office.

Our niece and nephew took an gymnastic class here for five days at the end of summer break, which…read morewas a great way to burn off that end of summer energy and learn something at the same time! The interior is nice and spacious, with lots of mat space for the kids. They attended class each day from 8:30 am until 12;30 and we picked them up when they were done to drive them home. We stopped in to watch the last ten minutes or so of class. The class seemed very well organized, with all kids engaged, and being attended to. Our nephew was excited to show us how he had learned a tumbling run ending in a flip in just five days! As a former teacher myself, I appreciated the way that the instructor addressed each child by name, lining them up safely and comfortably to wait outdoors for their parents to pick them up!

That said, as usual, the venue knocked it out of the park, as I sat through that visual and audio assault, I was comfortable. It's incredible that the high school performances there are stark in comparison. What actual professionalism and passion looks like vs a bunch of people who thought "hey let's do a play". Thank you for the wonderful experiences, hopefully the next show I attend can wash out the previous one.
