    They have done an amazing job teaching my son and inspiring him to grow. We're excited to be here for years to come.

    I wanted to enroll my daughter in a dance class because she always dances & sings to Disney songs…read moreI looked up dance classes nearby but somehow I came across this one & ironically they have a princess academy where they learn to tumble & dance to Disney songs as well ! She started last year perhaps around august & did her first recital in January . The staff is super friendly ! Ms Parker is an absolute doll the way she teaches the children especially my daughter who is very shy & not as experienced ! My daughter loves every class & it's been an amazing experience for her !

    If I could give zero stars, I would.This was hands down one of the most unprofessional…read moreorganizations I've ever had the misfortune of working with. Two months into their program--after a cast list had already been posted--they attempted to collect additional payments from already-enrolled families, despite there being no prior contract or communication outlining these supposed fees. They also demanded that students come up with their own costumes, and even threatened to pull kids from the production if payments weren't made. Anyone with even basic theater experience knows that threatening to remove children from a show two months into rehearsals is outrageous and unacceptable. Everything--fees, responsibilities, schedules--should be communicated clearly in writing upfront, not sprung on families halfway through. They added extra rehearsals last minute and tried to charge for those too. After enough parents complained, they finally took over the costume responsibilities. But again, none of these requirements were mentioned at sign-up. While we're incredibly grateful for the teacher (who was absolutely wonderful), the owner and office staff were completely disorganized, unprofessional, and frankly, rude.Mothers were berated for wanting to sit in on their young children (ages 6+ and up), being mic'd under their clothing and were screamed at for wanting to monitor that because it was "closed rehearsals" It gets worse. After deciding we'd never return due to the awful experience, we noticed a charge for another session we never signed up for. When we kindly reached out to have it removed, we were told that "Musical Theater" was now considered a year-round commitment, even though: * That was never communicated. * Our child hadn't attended in months. Did they call to check on our child's absence? Nope.They just charged us. In this economy. Don't be fooled by their polished social media. Behind the scenes, it's just smoke and mirrors. On one performance day, they called the cast for a 3:30 arrival time--and no adult staff showed up until 5:15.Fourteen children were left under the supervision of just two volunteer moms, and the office admitted they "forgot to call" the rest of us to let us know that no one would be in attendance, nor that they needed help. Just kids expected to be left alone. Left to run their own warmups and choreography. So not only are they charging families absurd fees without consent, but they are also putting children's safety at risk while being paid to not even show up. It reeks of: "I want to run a children's theater company but have zero idea how one is supposed to be run--and I'm counting on you not knowing either." Spoiler alert: I was raised in one of the top youth theaters in the country. This ain't it. Just chaos.Chaos, dishonesty, and a complete disregard for families. PATRONS BEWARE.

    This was our family's first experience with a theater program, we absolutely love this company!…read moreDanielle and David are so knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. My 6 year old is in the musical theater class and he has learned so much and asks me every day if he can go to theater class. He now has the confidence to be on stage preforming dance and song numbers. David has taught him so much about blocking on stage, pitch, and tone. I just enrolled my 3 year old daughter the their children's dance class and she is loving it! I am honestly thinking of enrolling in some of their adult class too. I have nothing but positive things to say about this company!!!! We love love love them!!!!!

    Our kid has been attending Curtain Call Performing Arts for the past 6 months...or around that…read more I've never seen a kid so pumped up in the morning and ready to hit the stage. The classes are taught by professional actors with lots of real life experience (verifiable on IMDB) and are definitely geared towards appropriate age groups in terms of ability, content and approach. The owners of the school are also experienced working actors in their own right - and they make you feel truly welcomed ever single time. What differentiates this performing arts school from the other ones either in SCV or elsewhere, that there are no sales pressure tactics, no guilt trips, no false promises of agents, Hollywood fame or other BS. This school focuses on the art of the craft and on those who have passion for theatre, improv, dancing, music or other performing arts. I would highly recommend this school for any kid, or adult, who has love for the stage. Even if you're a wallflower, the approach, professionalism and welcoming environment, will help you find the confidence in your abilities and help you enhance your acting chops.
