    A lovely Art Deco building with very friendly ushers. The seats and carpeting feel very 80's but…read moreeverything is in good repair. The temperature was fine (I hate being cold!) They got us in and out of the building quickly and the bathroom line (for women) went fairly quickly (and we were told there were bathrooms on the upstairs level too.)

    Our family attended a concert here a couple weeks ago!…read more With a location in downtown Topeka, right off the highway, it's not too difficult to find! On the flip side of that, the location DID make parking a little tricky - there are numerous garages and street parking options around, but if you read carefully, many are highly restricted, and/or close to the public early in the evening, and/or have other restrictions. We parked in one garage, only to read on the door on the way out that it was set to close and lock down 20 mins later. So, back to the car, and I had to drive a couple blocks over to (luckily!) find what was probably the very last street parking space within a 10 block area. Inside the venue, I feel this place has aged particularly well. I remember when it was newly renovated, and despite that being decades ago, it still seemed in good repair and was a nice place to see a medium-sized event. Lighting and sound were both excellent, and the acoustics from our angle on the floor, near the back, was also very good. The view was perfect - no obstruction in front, due to ample rise in the auditorium as you go back. Navigating the building was also simple, well organized, and well attended by staff to help. Maybe the only thing that could really use some help is the restroom facilities, at least the one on the main floor. It's very tight, and falling into a bit of a state of needing some update and repair. Security did a nice job on our visit, and moved through our line pretty quickly! I'll probably have a better plan for parking next time; other than that, this was a good experience!

    I signed up for their Adult BEGINNER Hip Hop dancing class. I have ZERO hip hop dancing experience…read moreand wanted some basics. The class specifically stated: "Adult Hip Hop Dancers will learn movement that has elements of popping, locking, breaking, dance hall, funk, as well as freestyle movement to give students the opportunity to develop their own sense of style. No experience needed!!" Well, this sounded EXACTLY like what I needed as I don't know how to pop or lock or break or any of the lingo that goes with Hip Hop. My natural assumption was that this class was for BEGINNERS who knew nothing and would learn from the beginning. When I arrived at the class, most of the participants had taken this class last year and were already knowledgeable in the moves and how to hip hop dance. This made me uncomfortable because I was expecting to learn as a BEGINNER, not try and play catch up with people already experienced. The 4 that had no experience like me spent the class trying not to look stupid compared to the experienced dancers. No instructions were given on how to do moves, the instructor spent exactly 50% of that first class picking music out and then changing her mind and then we just jumped into a VERY FAST choreographed dance number. If a class is touted as beginner level, then only beginners should be in the class and the instructor should 1)be prepared and have the class planned before they get there w/all music preloaded and 2)TEACH THE BEGINNERS, not cater to the people who have already taken the class. Looks like I'll just settle w/Youtube and learning my moves there...
