    We absolutely LOVE this studio . It's a bit of a drive for us but definitely worth it as the instructors really know what they are doing and I have seen all three of my kids confidence soar over the last few months . We have not only enjoyed the classes but the showcases as well where they are able to perform and reflect on what they have learned . We enrolled our oldest as her goal was to become more confident but quickly saw the benefits for the younger ones as well . My 9 yr old son who has been in speech therapy since 4 years old is no longer in need of it ! My 6 year old wishes she could come everyday and my 11 year old enjoys the challenges in the teen class . All three have recently signed with an agency in Los Angeles and have used skills taught in the studio in their auditions . We look forward to continuing with Dearing and adding new skills to their toolbox.

    Absolutely love this acting studio. I was a student at Dearing for 3+ years. I matured there from being an inexperienced wishy-washy actor hopeful, to a skilled serious craftsman. The other students I met in my time were incredible. I made lasting friendships with them as well as the staff. Matt does his best to encourage his students develop all of their skills and talents- not just acting. I've experienced and witnessed extremely moving scene studies, disappointments and triumphs, and most importantly to me---so many opportunities to truly learn. The environment is very supportive. I saw a huge difference between me at the beginning and me at the end, but I will say this: you have to be willing to put in the work and give full effort if you expect the training to make a difference, and you should try to be welcoming of critiques as a platform to improve your work rather than take them personally (and that's true of any acting studio or school- not just this one). Those are the two keys to really get where you wanna be with training. Anyways would fully recommend this studio for actors in AZ who want to advance their craft.

    Dearing Acting Studio is much more than it may seem at first glance. Every person who walks into the studio not only walks out as a better actor but a better human being. Every time I walk into Dearing I am flooded with positive energy and love. Matt, Brian, Joey and Shea are excellent teachers and mentors who I look up to in every aspect of my life. I am beyond grateful to be able to learn and grow as a student and intern at Dearing Acting Studio.

    Me and my treasures.

    See all

The settings within it are so varied and fun to hang out in and explore, and many of our guests came to tell us how gorgeous it was. Moving on from looks, Boojum Tree also has fantastic package deals, which made planning for the wedding so much less stressful from out of state. To have a set of great vendors already included (bar, catering, DJ, and day-of-coordinator), as well as decorations, silverware, linens, chairs, ceremony equipment, etc etc was the best thing and really helped us be present and enjoy our wedding. Our day-of-coordinator, Jennifer, was also incredible! She took great care of us, staying organized, moving around flowers and decorations, ensuring our wedding favors were at each table, coordinating with our other vendors, helping with an emergency dress bustling, keeping us on time, and hundreds of other things that we did not see behind the scenes. She clearly works hard and is amazing at what she does. This was the perfect venue for the best day of our lives and booking with Boojum was the single best decision we made. We cannot sing their praises enough and could not have had the wedding we did without them. We are so thankful to the team that made it happen!

He not only tried to help me with the problem but he researched how to help me and called me back when he found the information. After figuring out what needed to be done, it was needing a managers approval. James was able to get the situation to the manager and he personally called me to explain how we could fix the situation. The manager called another club and made the situation work out. Unbelievable effort Customer service has been declining in pretty much every area of the service industry over the last 5 yrs or more. The effort given by James and the manager was nice to receive. Thank you very much to James and the Manager (I think his name is Josh.)

He asked why we needed another cart. He never told us our rounds came with a cart. I also witnessed 2 guys (who we ended up playing with) who checked in got the worse service. Andy threw (literally) their receipt and credit card at them. It's just unacceptable, especially first thing in the morning prior to tee off. I have staff on the front line and would never let this slide. I hope he gets some good customer service training or put him behind the office away from the public.

    I stayed here using the Chase Edit benefit…read more We picked this hotel because they do not charge pet fees and the valet parking is included in the resort fee (self parking is free). Service: Everyone was very nice and accommodating. Everyone loved my dog. Room: It's decent, nice but wasn't as luxurious as other properties in the same level. It is a bit weird to have the shower in the middle of the room and an open concept bathroom separated by a curtain. The bed is comfy and place was quiet. Even so the Edit said upgrade possible if available, we did not get an upgrade :(. Boo. Food: Hearth 61 had pretty good food and the Edit gives $90 a day for 2 for breakfast. That is a very generous amount. They serve the food until 2pm (more like brunch) so you can technically can get two meals out of the credit. Credit doesn't all have to be one transaction. Dog amenities: They give you a dog package with a bed, bowl, poo bags, pee pad, and treats. There isn't a designated relief area but there are multiple areas around you can take your dog. There is no grass or turf and it's all rocks. The bad: The room has no fridge and if you want a fridge you have to pay $25 (freezer is $40). We needed one so we decided to use part of our Edit $100 credit to get one. Kinda annoying for a resort room to not have a fridge and if not, why isn't the fridge fee included in the resort fee? Late checkout is at 2pm. When you check out, make sure you ask for an itemized bill. For some reason, the computer took the charges from the $100 credit first and did not apply it to the breakfast credit so we ended up owing $100. However a quick mention to the front desk and they were able to take care of that for us. ALSO, not a hotel thing but I must mention, Paradise Valley has speeding and red lights cameras on Lincoln. They are enforced for BOTH and the speed limit is 40mph. Do not go over or you will get flashed -_-
