My step-daughter has been attending Dancemaker for the last 4-5 years. She started when she was…read morejust a toddler and my overall experience with the studio has gone from very positive to very negative. Overall, it's an uncomfortable environment where the owners are always yelling/arguing with each other right in front of the parents/kids. I also find it unacceptable the constant yelling that occurs between the owners towards the other teachers. My "1" star rating is based on the following: 1) Unprofessional behavior (yelling/arguing) between the owners. 2) Dirty Bathrooms with no paper towels. Cloth towels are provided, but the same towel is used daily by everyone. Surfaces are never disinfected such as benches, doorknobs, and handrails. 3) Chaos in every recital. Constant changes are rarely communicated. 4) Love the recital but tired of seeing the owner (Geoff) in every other number. I come to see the kids perform, not a 60-year-old man performing with teenage girls. 5) Covid-19 Epidemic: As all the schools, universities, gyms, bars, movie theaters and restaurants closed, owners choose to keep dance studio open putting our kid's safety at risk. When the city placed restrictions, the owner stated they were staying open and simply setting their own guidelines (not adhering to the CDC guidelines) to keep students safe. When the entire state shuts down, how can Dancemaker be the only exception?

I lived in Pomona in the past but somehow never had a chance to visit the LA County Fair. I decided…read moreto take my wife and the kids, and honestly, I was surprised in a good way! There's a lot more to do than I expected. They had classic car shows, guinea pig racing, art exhibits, tons of games, rides, food, and plenty of things to keep the whole family entertained. The fairgrounds are huge, and of course, expect a big crowd. Parking can be a little hectic, but they have trolleys that take you to the entrance and back to the parking area, which definitely helps. The food is definitely pricey, and some things are hit or miss. But honestly, that's part of the fair experience. You try different foods, sometimes you find something really good, and sometimes you wonder why you just paid that much for it. Overall, we had a great time as a family. There's something for everyone, and it's a fun way to spend the day with your loved ones. Definitely glad we finally checked it out!

As soon as I entered the fair, a photographer asked if I wanted a picture taken. I checked for pricing and the lowest package they had was $40. Needless to say I did not take the photo . I did run into some cute jewelry vendors, and a soap making vendor that is local,and supported their business. I also saw some interesting art and the artist was onsite to talk about it. Parking at the fair is always something. They do have a complimentary tram that will take you closer to your car. For a discount on tickets, I decided to go with Mattress Firm.The process to reserve discounted tickets was easy. Til next year.

The non discriminatory culture, emphasis on equality, fairness throughout (to kids and staff), and empowerment skills taught and demonstrated to our children, are undeniable.

Thank you TBE for your contributions to our youth!!! Keep up the great work

We are fortunate to have a place like Top Billing Entertainment (TBE), where children can learn,…read moreperform, and be part of a community centered around the arts. My child genuinely enjoys the classes, and I have seen regular improvements in her movement, confidence, and performance. I am giving TBE a 3-star rating because I believe there are two significant areas for improvement. 1. Organization and Communication TBE has an opportunity to become much more organized. On numerous occasions, classes have started late or instructors have arrived after the scheduled start time. There have also been times when instructors have needed to stop class to remember routines or choreography before continuing. While understandable from time to time, it happens often enough that it reduces the amount of instructional time the children receive. Communication is another area that could be improved. Most information is shared through the Band app, but it is cluttered and difficult to navigate. When parents ask questions, they are often directed back to the app instead of receiving a direct answer. I would much rather receive emails, similar to the clear communication TBE sends for summer camp. A portion of classes is also spent reviewing upcoming shows, participation requirements, deadlines, and other announcements. While these updates are important, much of this information is repeated week after week and could easily be communicated by email instead, allowing children to spend more time learning and practicing. The website could also be maintained better. Show tickets are sold online, but the website is not consistently updated, making it difficult to know when tickets are available. On several occasions, email links have directed parents to outdated or expired pages. Scheduling can be frustrating. Parents commit to a class schedule and plan around those times, only to have classes combined with another class, resulting in schedule changes. I understand that adjustments are sometimes necessary, but greater consistency and planning would be appreciated. Classroom capacity is another concern. Depending on what else is happening, too many children are sometimes placed into the smaller classroom, which has poor ventilation. It becomes crowded enough that children are unable to practice effectively, and even instructors have commented during class about how crowded the room is while asking students to simply do their best. 2. Pricing and Value I also believe TBE should reconsider parts of its pricing model. Parents already pay monthly tuition, purchase costumes, and buy tickets to attend performances. In addition, children are sometimes required to pay participation fees to perform in the shows themselves. As a nonprofit organization, I worry that these additional fees may unintentionally price some lower-income families out of participating. Ticket prices can also become expensive, especially after online service fees are added. Two tickets can easily cost between $50 and $90 depending on seating. Since many performances are held at the school, more family-friendly pricing would be appreciated. There are also occasions when students are required to wear a TBE shirt for an event. If a family doesn't already own one, they must purchase another item simply for their child to participate. One small thing that stood out to me is that if a child forgets to bring a water bottle, parents are required to purchase a $2 cup so their child can drink water. While the cost itself is minor, it feels like a missed opportunity to extend a simple courtesy. Considering the various fees families already pay, providing a complimentary cup would be a small gesture that demonstrates care and appreciation for the families who support the program. Despite these concerns, I remain grateful that a place like TBE exists. My child enjoys being part of the program, and I appreciate the opportunities it provides for children to grow through the performing arts. I am sharing these observations because I genuinely want to see TBE continue to grow and succeed. I hope this feedback encourages continued improvement and also helps parents who are considering the program better understand what to expect.

I have had…read morethe honor of growing up from a very young age as a student of Crescendo, to now teaching along side the best mentors and role models, Tracy Berry and Annie Jovellanos. The studio space itself is incredible! The lobby is clean and organized, the dance floors are sprung which is the safest type of dance floor to prevent injury, there are observing glass window doors to watch the students in action, and music rooms to hold voice lessons. They have an amazing staff, who truly care about each and every student and are amazing teachers who teach many genres: Tap, Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Lyrical, and Hip Hop; along with singing and acting. Crescendo's annual showcase is the main event of the year. The showcase is very professional and includes professional lighting, sound, and tech. It is amazing to showcase the work done by the students in a performance that is well organized and ran like a professional show! Along with the showcase, the studio holds auditions for summer musicals. We have kids and adults from all areas come out to be apart of an amazing production. I am blessed to say I have been apart of every single production for over 10 years with Crescendo Theatrical Productions, including our last production of Little Mermaid where we sold out the last weekend of shows. If you are into theatre, come join us on our next adventure! Crescendo also has a singing group called the Berrytones ran by the owner and director of the studio, Tracy Berry, and a dance group called Chrysalis ran by Annie Jovellanos. They are the the living example of the studio's motto "Developing God-Given Talents". The studio is a non-profit studio, and these groups perform at many non-profit events like cancer walks, senior citizen homes, and various churches. They encompass the meaning of what it is to be apart of Crescendo by being a family performing in His name. What makes this studio so different from other studios is the atmosphere. We truly are a big loving family, who honor God through singing, theatre, and dancing. Crescendo is my second home, and the friendships and lifelong memories is worth every moment I have spent at this studio. This studio is my family and I thank my parents for putting me into classes at such a young age. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else except for Crescendo. If you are looking not only for an amazing studio, but a family, Crescendo Performing Arts is the best place to put your Children in. I love this place and I will NEVER EVER leave it...
