Dance By Holly Rock has given me some of the most electrifying and awesome goosebumps in my entire…read morelife. Miss Holly does not just teach dance; she creates legitimate artists. I have watched the evolution of her students from itty bitty tots in tutus to Juilliard attendees. Her choreography, recitals and the emotional impact she elicits from her dancers has brought me to actual tears as it is so beautiful that it hurts. She is so tactful and considerate of her dancers and tgeir families during recitals and performances- she does not simply feature the most gifted and flashiest dancers, but instead rotates the dancers throughout the choreography so that "Baby is never left in the corner." I have never seen this in any other dance studio, performance or recital. Brevard is SO BLESSED to have this studio in our neighborhood. Brevard is not known as a hotbed of artistic culture, so it is beyond fortunate to have an educator at this level in our backyard. I do not know how she stays in business; unlike other studios which grift the parents for the cost of lessons, costumes, dance shoes and gear, Holly's prices are unsustainably low. She has her dancers dance barefoot to avoid the cost of constantly buying pricey dance shoes for rapidly growing feet. She charges cost for costumes, which she affordably sources online or recycles from previous students. She has even resorted to dyeing recycled costumes and repurposes them. No other studio does this and she does it so that her studio is inclusive for every socioeconomic group. She turns no one away regardless of their ability to pay. I have often counseled her to become a non profit because of all the scholarships she underwrites. If there are angels on this Earth, then Miss Holly is most assuredly, one of the best of them. I Miss Holly to pieces and treasure every moment I was fortunate enough to watch her dancers. She was meant for greater things but chooses to nurture art here.

Ms.Holly has been teaching my daughters dance for many years. The lessons they learn go far beyond…read moreperfect dance form. She teaches them the way she lives; totally inclusive, striving for excellent artistry, and above all how to be an exemplary human. Their dance recitals bring me to tears because they are so lovely and artistic. Ms. Holly's prices are unbelievably fair- other dance studios nickel and dime the dance families for gear, lessons and over charging the families for competitions and recitals. Ms. Holly never does this. Ms. Holly was a professional dancer and choreographer for a luxury cruise line and her level of expertise is evident. My daughters are fortunate to have her as their teacher. Bring your kids or take an adult class you will love Ms. Holly and the vibe of her studio.

There is a lot of potential for this theater. It's in a great location and they have wonderful raw…read moretalent, but lack in their theatrics, stage design, and props. However, it's a smaller stage compared to the other theaters in the area and very limited seating (currently 30-40 or so). So, with COVID and all it's tough to manage and I give them props for pushing through. They recently had a play of Christmas Carol featuring only four actors that did a phenomenal job with very little. It was all about the dialogue and using your imagination and they did an outstanding job at bringing the story to life! Looking forward to seeing this theater grow and develop further!

However, hula is so beautiful and relaxing that I got caught up in the entire dance and cultural experience. I now cannot imagine not dancing hula and have learned from the best. I had taken a Hawaiian dance class previous to moving to FL while living in Los Angeles and by far, Kumu Chrissy is the best; truly a gifted teacher. I doubt there are few of her skill level outside of Hawai'i. She truly enjoys what she does and it shows in her dedication to her students. And it's a lot of fun. The group of dancers (that has grown from a dozen to around 80) have become a second family as we perform at shows and competitions. From young children to retirees, we are truly blessed to have this wonderful opportunity experience in Brevard.

All this in a colorful environment safe zone. Don't worry about spilling paint or doing it differently-all is accepted here. Women will especially enjoy Sit & Stitch Salad the 2nd Monday of each month,. The sisterhood keeps growing as women help each other, share their work, and their dreams. As for the classes, there has never been a place in this area since I have lived here as far as I know. There are classes on jewelry, mosaics, soldering techniques, textiles (I made my own cloth), resin jewelry, and much more. Artistic instructors have come from as far as Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and even Australia to teach at Art More Place. Fearless leader Sherri O wanted to create a place that offered artistic adventures as well as community and she has done a great job. She is open to ideas to meet the needs of art loving people seeking instruction. You can find Art More Place on Facebook as well as www.artmoreplace.com

A nice place for a private event in Melbourne, Fl According…read moreto their website, Funky Dog is "...a nonprofit improv comedy troupe and theater based in Melbourne, FL. As a 501(c)(3) organization." Their stated mission is to bring improv education, performances, and artistic collaboration to the community. It is located near downtown Melbourne and is pretty easy to find as it is one of the locations that opens onto the north side of Eau Gallie where the road splits right next to the bridge. I consider that there is limited parking. Their website shows a lot that was full when we arrived and I ended up parking on the street. Even though the venue seems to host a wide range of improv performances, from classic short-form games to long-form storytelling and themed nights, I visited for a private event, the Melbourne Independent Film Festival Replay. Aaron, the staff who took care of us was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. From helping set up the films that we were there to see to selling drinks at the intermission. It is an intimate affair with a stage to the right as you enter with a series of tables and chairs that can be configured as needed for any affair. We were there in full daylight and they had blackout type curtains that did a pretty good job of keeping the sunlight out and the street sounds down. Overall, it was a very nice experience and I would suggest using it for future events.
