There are not enough strong adjectives to praise what Sophie has created for both the young and…read moreolder dancers. We have been with Sophie from day one, when she had just one small studio. We have watched and been the recipients of her kind, loving, and generous heart. She has built wonderful studios that are a safe place for our children to not only learn and grow as dancers, but also grow into confident young women. She has continued to evolve her studios, offering new and current styles of dance while always keeping that personal touch. Her teachers are professionals in their own right and help our children learn, create, and thrive. Sophie is also able to accommodate every level and interest in dance... from the little ones just starting out (who are always the cutest on stage!), to older dancers with a true passion for dance, to the competition teams for those who love the challenge and commitment of competing. Having dance in my girls' lives and being part of the Sophie Dance family has been one of the biggest highlights of their lives. They are still constantly dancing in front of the TV, making up routines, and performing for the family. Sadly, our time with Sophie is coming to an end. We have been with her for over 20 years, and this will be our last dance recital as my youngest graduates from high school. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I can't wait for future grandbabies to dance with her one day. Sophie truly is one of the bright lights in Los Angeles!!!

My daughter has danced at every studio from L.A to the Valley and this is the 1st one that she has raved about! She felt the family vibe from day one and the owners take time and work with her on her level.

She is there several times a week and I am thrilled that she is apart of their studio!

These one-star reviews are ridiculous this is the nicest gym in LA…read more Absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean facilities, a wonderful varied slate of classes (yes, you need to sign up in advance -- I don't know why this is news to people frustrated that you "can't get in," trust me, you can if you actually sign up when the classes go live), gorgeous locker rooms and pool area. Very kind and knowledgeable instructors and friendly staff, and it's not overrun with annoying people and ring-light influencers which is nothing short of an accomplishment in a specialty gym in this neighborhood. It feels relaxed and like there is privacy and mutual respect. The only detraction of one star is that the restaurant has really confusing hours and has sort of been a non-concept for months on end now. You should be able to get a drink after 5 p.m., otherwise what's the point of belonging to a gym with a beautiful bar and restaurant?

This is a great dance studio I'm sure. But I came for the infrared sauna. And let me tell you, this…read moreis probably the best infrared sauna studio I've ever been to. And I've been too many of them. What makes this one special is the attention to detail and the very personal customer service. The studio is extremely clean, I mean, impeccably. All of the towels smell fresh, all of the floors are freshly polished. Everything smells delightful. The sauna is top notch. It has a large infrared light bar, but it also has very strong, infrared light around the sauna otherwise, and on the ceiling of the sauna as well. and this one, you are also able to adjust it to other types of light such as blue, green, Amber, etc.You are also to control your own levels of heat. There is a television with prepaid Amazon prime channels. The Bluetooth speaker inside the sauna is loud and crisp, and of course you can control the levels and channels with the remote. The gentleman who helped me is named Ken. He gave me a nice tour of the studio upon arrival, and then showed me how to operate everything. He was extremely helpful and kind.Another nice thing is this sauna is very large. I was literally able to stretch out and recline. I think this will be my go to infrared sauna spot.

This is a cute, little studio (I know the previous reviewer used this phrase, but I swear I came up…read morewith it independently!) where the boyfriend and I came to take Salsa lessons. So fun! Lisa (just like me!) was a great teacher. She showed us a bunch of new moves and got the boyfriend to actually feel the music this time around. The two of us were literally practicing in my living room that night and the next morning! It was a warm day, but Lisa had fans going at each end of the space. With both doors open, it didn't seem too bad, even with all the spinning and hip-throwing! We're both planning to come back for more dancing instruction.

The owner is super sweet and is always open to instructors expanding their creative abilities and offering something new. It is a super small studio and sometimes it can get a little crowded.

It is a great place to see a concert, play or talk. It has a diverse set of acts. The prices are reasonable and there are few bad seats in the house. It is the same size as an older movie theater. Parking is on the street by meter or in a lot down the street for a fee. The staff is great and will help you with seating or whatever you need. The sound system is very good for all types of entertainment. The outside is also stunning. It is all blue, gold and white deco and you can imagine the people that used to dress up to go there. There is just not a thing I don't love about it.

To be totally honest - it should/could have been great - but it really was not!…read more The good things: The theatre itself is magnificent with a century old history. Ample nearby parking about one block away for $10. The line to buy soda and potato chips (by the men's room side upstairs) was short. But the line for alcohol and more food choices was so long (women's restroom side but looping around the place) that you couldn't even get close enough to see your options (25 minutes before the show). The bad things (really bad) unless you get a seat very close to the stage): From our seats ("front balcony" center row J - and there were about 500 people behind us!!) we were so far away that we could barely see a thing. Certainly you could see faces let alone expressions. And a magician that you can't see!? Really?? There are solutions for this - eg in Londons West End) there are binoculars for lease on every other seat. OR you can have cameras installed (Saban have) and then project on to the huge screen above the acts. In pics you can see that they have indeed done just that!! But not last night since the big screen just showed Netflix ad and charity logo. Very sad for the audience From our seats it was only possible to hear about 50% of the comedy routines - even with my AirPods at max volume - and Mrs G's hearing is perfect and she had the same experience. So yup it was kinda good, the theatre architecture great. Was it really good? No. Was it worth the price. No? Would we go again - only if we could seats VERY close to the stage or be assured that it will be projected on the big screen. Otherwise (sadly) no...
