We relocated 8 years ago from Los Gatos, CA and were referred to Sultanov Ballet Academy by the Los Gatos Ballet. We loved our studio and the performances; we were looking for what we had in California. Well, we found it and it came with sound instruction and discipline which resulted in amazing productions! Both my son and daughter attended Sultanov for the last 8 years and have danced in numerous Nutcracker Performances and wonderful spring performances such as Swan Lake and Don Quixote. Artur Sultanov works closely with the students and offers private classes which further develop their skills for advanced roles in performances and the opportunity to compete in dance competitions. We attended both YAGP and ADC IBC dance completions which resulted in attending nationals in both Tampa and New York. The training our children received at SBA developed them to go on to other opportunities, both dancing at their schools working toward higher education in dance. They love the theater and perform as often as they can. We are constantly entertained as they give us the gift of dance.

This place couldn't provide us with the services that we paid for and was completely unresponsive…read moreto our attempts to contact them, both for setting up classes and then for getting a refund when they couldn't provide those classes. Total rip-off, and huge waste of time. I got a Groupon for lessons, which I was hoping to use for my wedding. We called the place, but only got a message saying to contact them via email. We emailed them to set up a reservation. NO RESPONSE for well over a week. When we did get a response, we were told that they couldn't get us in for nearly another month-- which was just a couple of days before our wedding. By then, there wouldn't be enough time to complete all the classes, not to mention how busy we would be with final wedding plans etc. We contacted the studio again to ask for a refund, since we clearly couldn't take the classes. NO RESPONSE. We finally had to contact Groupon and-- although they don't usually offer refunds-- they returned our money. But the studio did not, and we STILL have not heard back. My fiancee and I work 4 jobs between us, plus I'm a grad student. We live on a very limited budget with limited time. We just wanted something reasonably priced to teach us a few basic steps for our special day at a convenient time (before school started and my teaching job got going). We were unable to get dance lessons for our wedding, even at a different studio because this process took so long and we'd already put money into it.

Scheduling took a…read morelittle time, but that is probably because I'm not sure the owners have a staff assisting them; they seem to do it all themselves and are understandably busy. But still, I was gotten back to in a reasonable amount of time to schedule the first lesson. My husband and I were taught by Michael who promptly scheduled us for the next lesson at the end of the first one. Perfectly friendly and a wonderful teacher. My husband commented that Michael was a good combination between complementary as well as giving helpful critiques, which made him feel like he was doing well without having to worry about whether the teacher was going too easy on him. A wonderful experience and I'd love to stay involved with this organization after the Groupon is used up (which really, isn't that the point of Groupons at the end of the day?). :)

We did GA, and I got the senior discount, so that was cool. There's a bar that you can order beverages. I saw some people with charcuterie boards. I ended up with a rosé. I won't do that next time. There was a 15 minute intermission, but the line for the bathroom was so long. I ended up going back to my seat. So I ended up getting a little uncomfortable the last half of the show. I did like the interaction with the audience.. though I'm glad they never picked on me!

The recent show I attended had great snacks and drinks - one couple even seemed to have a charcutier and bottle of wine though most of the seating does not have a lot of options to set things down. The crowds are always diverse. I was a bit shocked when an actor tapped someone sitting to move for them and the guy blatantly just ignored her.... just wow. This location just has one bathroom which is on a timer. I had an awkward lights out situation while in there. I seriously just sat and lights out... I use a cane and am already awkward enough without being in a strange space needing to find the roll of tp in pitch black and also get up and find the light switch. Someone was behind me so I warned them just in case...a person who worked there barked loudly at me that 'IT'S ON A FIFTEEN MINUTE TIMER' and I am uncertain if that was chastising me saying I was in there longer than the maybe five minutes I was - even with me stumbling around in the dark. It was just rather odd. Also, it seems a staple for places to have ushers who are generally clueless that they work there and there is a whole audience there to see a show. I was right by the door and a romantically involved couple who were both ushers sat also right by the door the whole show. I am not sure which was more annoying - him texting through the whole show {while rustling a program to try to hide his phone which was actually more distracting} or her constantly petting him and whispering back and forth with him through the entire show. I get that they have probably seen the play fifty times now and are bored but there was a teen who, legit was wearing flannel PJ bottoms and was pretty young who stayed engaged, not even fidgeting the whole time. So, maybe have the ushers by the exit who can pretend we the audience are new here and want to watch the play. There were a few audience members who would stand up to see things or had crazy weird laughs and that actually makes it more amusing. I was seated between two entrance and exits but honestly the actors move throughout and I feel like there really are not bad seats so pick out the type of chair you feel good sitting in since it is all unique pieces of furniture.

I was very touched by their efforts.
