Patty was awesome, her customer service was simply amazing and her shop was like a hidden gem in downtown Hollister. The store has many handmade and unique gifts. For example, she has many handmade paintings for noble professions like nurses, CHP, Corrections, Teachers, Moms. This is just one of the many beautiful details this shop has. Patty will also personalize your painting if you request it, not only that, but she text me when it was ready for pickup. Much props for being up to date with comm. I love small business like this, def worth strolling in if your in the area. Supporting small biz is good for everyone guys plus it's way better stuff than what you'll find in other big name stores

My daughter has been taking dance lessons at this studio for about a year now, I feel I have had…read moreenough experience to finally write a review! My children are homeschooled, so the bulk of their peer relationships are built through the extra curricular activities that we choose for them and I don't put them into sports or classes out of pure convenience. When deciding to buy our home, one of the first things I did was look into dance studios up to a 50 (yes 50) mile radius. Once I saw that this studio puts on an annual production of the Nutcracker, I was instantly intrigued. I know the level of work and commitment it takes to put on a show with so many moving pieces, and not many dance studios are willing to take on that challenge. Right away we felt welcomed by both the staff and many of the "veteran families" who have been there for years. I love the fact that many of the teachers and helpers are young ladies who have danced with the studio since they were my daughters age, I think that speaks to the level of dance education that the studio provides. It also gives the very youngest dancers something to look forward to and wonderful role models to look up to. The owner and artistic director, Laura, has extensive training in both dance and education. She takes her craft VERY seriously and brings a level of structure and classroom standard that I think is important for any young athlete. That is NOT to say she lacks decorum, in fact the opposite is true. There are clear rules set within each class that ensure both the growth and (most importantly) safety of your dancer as well as those around him or her. Laura has ensured that there are straightforward expectations set which makes it easy for the children to learn and grow without the constant boundary testing that you see in many of the younger dance classes . In the past year my daughter has grown by leaps and bounds as a dancer and she's made so many wonderful friends. Another thing that I love is that each class introduces the children to proper dance terminology, pertinent to the particular style of dance being taught. Even the tiniest dancers are introduced to french ballet vocabulary and that is something that I really appreciate. When you walk in you'll likely be greeted by Lupe or Alisa, who both work in the front office to keep everything running smoothly. They are two of the sweetest people that you'll ever meet and truly do all that they can to get your child (and your family) woven into the fabric of the studio. Whether you need someone to help you with proper sizing, classroom placement, or have any questions at all these two ladies are available and eager to help. My daughters favorite teacher so far has been Ms. Chelcie, who is just wonderful and truly has the patience of Job. Like, really... Bless her, because I don't know that I could handle a classroom full of kindergartners with the level of tact and care that she does. I could go on and on about how impressed I've been with the level of dance education and the welcoming atmosphere that I've felt here at SBDA, but I realize that my review is already too long and I appreciate those of you who have hung in there LOL! I'll end in saying that my family has been so blessed by the relationships we've built and the character building that has happened within my daughters classes.

I take ballet here! I love this place :) A year ago, I called all over to find a school that would…read moretake an adult for classical ballet and no one returned my calls. SBDA not only called me back, they accepted me with open arms and encouraged and nurtured my newfound love for dance! I now take 4 1/2 hours a week and this February 9 will be my 1 year anniversary. I've been in one recital and even was in The Nutcracker this past Christmas! Everyone is wonderful there! Ms Lara, Ms Casandra, Ms Chelcea, Ms Sara, Ms Stephanie, Ms Paula and Ms Lupe; I love them all! Thank you all for allowing me to dance! It makes me so, so happy :)

I have seen this place but never walked in until today when my son asked if there was an arts and…read morecrafts place to go to and I jumped on the "yep Hollister has that" train. Normally I would have to go out of the area to please his artistic side but thankfully our little town has something for all ages to satisfy their needs to be creative. Upon walking in you are adorned with many locals art pieces I.e. hand crafted gems that you can't get at target or tj maxx (I'm 100% in favor of supporting local). While my son was doing his art work I decided to "browse" which turned into a mini shopping spree. There are so many unique things here and I love the atmosphere. The owner is kind and has many plans for the future that I'm looking forward to as many businesses don't last long. I hope this business lasts a long time because it's unique age friendly and supports local artists which is rare in an Amazon to your door world. Prices are reasonable especially for a small family owned business.
