I can't say enough nice things about Sandy's dance center. I started attending adult tap classes…read morejust over two years ago when they were located in downtown Napa. Sandy is a lovely dancer and very knowledgeable in a variety of styles. She teaches because it is what she loves. Why do something else, or retire, when you can dance? The studio is now located in Yountville at the Lincoln theater. It is a wonderful location, very peaceful, plus, it feels exciting to be rehearsing inside a theater that has hosted so many phenomenal performances over the year. (My favorite actor has walked on the same floor that I tap dance on ever week. How fun is that?) There are a variety of dance styles taught and a variety of age groups. For adults she currently has beginning tap and intermediate tap. Children's classes include ballet, tap, contemporary jazz, creative movement (3-4 year olds), ballet, tap, jazz, ballet/tap/jazz (combo class), pointe, and ballet/tap/jazz (7-8 year olds). Most of the children's classes have multiple skill level classes. She puts on a recital each year, with each class performing one or more numbers and always highlighting her 10 year students as well as honoring the graduating seniors. Sandy is clear in her instruction and is often willing to help out if you need extra help. Her prices can't be beat, nor can her sincerity for the love of dance be outdone. I highly recommend this studio!

She always seemed like she was trying to hard to be nice. Also there were a few moms that were very rude to me. Don't know what her problem was but really how old are you and why would you be rude to so done you don't know. Really lame and grow up

Cannot say enough about: the quality of dance instruction; the high quality performance opportunities; and how much is gained by this extracurricular activity on so many levels - teamwork, social/emotional skill building, confidence, and positive movement for the body. It has been a huge part of our life and given so much to my daughter's life. P.S. And Patty happens to be SO good, that she turns out professional dancers, too!

Really fun experience to see Broadway performed outdoors and to experience the stage and…read moreperformance transform as the day gave way to the starry night sky. We found ourselves sitting next to small children who were having a small meltdown mid way through, but since it was outdoors, the sounds dispersed and we were still able to hear and enjoy the show. We've been twice. Both times it was a Broadway review. The first time was during the pandemic and we were all lined up watching from our cars like a drive in theater. It wasn't ideal, but it was greatly appreciated and shows how much they are dedicated to both their craft and to the community. They've also been incredibly supportive of health care workers who have so much during the pandemic. This year, we went to their "new" location in Sonoma. There is a VIP area with couches and such, but the non VIP area seemed more fun to me. There was a performance from a local dance school as well as different wineries and beverage you could chose from. There was a food truck or you could pack your own picnic and eat at the picnic tables there. Parking was a little confusing, but there were staff/volunteers that were really friendly and could point you in the right direction. We look forward to going again and seeing a full Broadway musical production.

A picnic, great wine and a live musical review out under the stars in a beautiful outdoor setting…read more What's not to like? Much of the cast has spent time on and/or off Broadway. The location at Jack London State Park is just lovely. The scenic back drop behind the performers as the sun sets is like getting two shows in one. So glad we have season tickets.

As a graduate alum from SRJC, my review may be just a little bias but it will be an honest one…read more My history with this auditorium goes back to the early 80's where I (for whatever reason) elected to enroll in a English class that focused on writing papers on plays. Theater usually isn't my thing but I must admit I really did enjoy it. One of the requirements of said English class was that I attend performances at the Burbank Auditorium on the campus of Santa Rosa Junior College. I recall loving the building as it was large enough to host a major production yet intimate enough for those in attendance to enjoy the performance. Even today Burbank Auditorium still lives up to the hype as evidenced by checking out it's latest musical "In The Heights". The theater was packed with a fun filled crowd who were on their feet throughout.

WOW !!! I just saw this SRJC performance which was held at…read moreMaria Carrillo High School because their auditorium is being remodeled. "Into the Woods", my favorite musical was absolutely FABULOUS. We LOVED it. They always have great musicals and plays. But this one topped the charts. Give it 10 stars. The seats were awful. I guess the high school kids are very skinny. No width or leg room. Hard to get in and out and very worn down. You could feel the metal.Too many stairs with no rails. Older people had trouble. Fortunately, this is only a temporary venue. The auditorium itself was really nice. But the performance was incredible. It made up for the seats. Thank you wonderful cast and SRJC for this amazing creative production.

** I also posted this in "Broadway Under The Stars" **…read more Sensational show last night as Broadway Under The Stars performed A Chorus Line in the ruins of Jack London State Park. It was a great show and marked the first time that a Broadway Show was performed instead of a mixed number of show songs and dance. If you are thinking of attending, the venue at Jack London State Park is one of a kind. If you want to picnic before the show there are several excellent Food Trucks, Wine Tables and picnic tables to sit and enjoy. Don't forget to bring a warm jacket as it can get cols once the sun sets. There is really nothing I would change, it is a first class show in a beautiful historic setting.
