Our daughter was very shy when she started at Studio C. But after spending many years at Studio C, learning the dance skills, with the help and caring of their staff, she proved to herself that she could do it. Her Dance skills and self-confidence simply blossomed. She loved the June shows at Spreckels, and so did our family. My message here is not only a recognition of the importance of ART on the lives of all children, but also a recognition of all the other benefits a child can get from attending a great Dance academy like Studio C.

The music was good, the bands seemed to be having a good time putting on a performance for the crowd. The sound was terrible though, the sound guy needs help or ought to pay attention to his job (even the musicians on stage were like hey roger please fix the sound... lol). Also, cheap brand of speakers, and lighting was bad too. I do like the layout of the place though, bar in the back, stage in the front, booth seating along the walls on both sides, tables in the middle, a bit of space near the stage to be used as a dance floor. A lovely atmosphere altogether. Drinks were pretty good too, the voodoo mojo and emotional vampire had a decent amount of alcohol and flavor.

Not only is she incredibly positive and engaging with him, but she is also just an incredibly warm and fun human being.

My son has also had a positive experience with one of the other vocal teachers there, Rachel Steiner, who has helped with vacation lessons a few times, and we would heartily recommend both of these teachers to anyone looking for vocal coaching/voice training.

If you are having a hard time finding a ballet studio come here no matter what age they will help you become a fantastic ballerina. I know that someone gave a negative review saying that this place was toxic and the teachers would talk down to them but no that is not true at all they never say anything about people leaving they are all amazing do not listen to that review.

I had a few questions since every ballet company works a bit differently and I was happy that the staff was quick to response and answered all my questions. It's a small ballet studio in a beautiful community of Penngrove. There is a park near it as well as a Penngrove Market. I liked the atmosphere and what I saw the first two classes I attended. Parents are welcome to stay to watch the class if they like or take advantage and finished those last minute errands you might have while your child it's at ballet. The teacher is nice but firm and she runs the class smoothly. She has a good handle on the kids and most important she knows how to talk to them. She makes sure everyone gets a turn and sees that everyone is in the right position otherwise she'll correct them. She makes the class a learning experience but fun but at the same time. There isn't a water fountain in the studio so make sure you bring water or you can purchase from the snack Bar water bottles or snacks. There is plenty of Parking so no worry there.

(( This business is also known as "Contessi Ballet". I will be reviewing the Adult Ballet division…read more )) Located in Penngrove's historic train depot building, Contessi Ballet has a warm, community feeling and they embrace dancers of all ages, shapes, and sizes. At my first class, I was warmly welcomed by the staff and dancers. They offer a decent compliment of adult ballet classes, including two levels of pointe. They offer classes both in the mornings and in the evenings, making it easy for a busy adult to take class during our ever-changing schedules. Best of all (and what attracted me to the studio in the first place), they allow their adult dancers to perform dancing roles in their productions, and even join the NBPA company if they qualify. The company class on Saturdays also offers pas de deux. The studio holds both a winter production (The Nutcracker), and a spring production. The only issues I would put forth is the cleanliness of the floor (I would prefer it to be a bit cleaner), and the temperatures in the studio can fluctuate, so dancers are encouraged to bring layers. I feel that more corrections could be given during classes (some of the teachers are young and seem hesitant), and perhaps more teacher/pedagogical training could be provided for the instructors. A great studio for adults who wish to pursue dance!
