I reached out to Isha from their website, and was blown away by how kind and helpful she was. I was toying with the idea of doing a private dance class, and she was eager to help, but unfortunately the timing wasn't quite right. In the end, we decided to attend the Beginners Bollywood Dance class together. I could not believe it was only $5. If I lived in Ojai, I'd be there every week, and telling all my friends about it! The class was energetic, approachable, fun, and a great work out. We had SO MUCH FUN. And Isha was an incredible instructor. She helped us take some cute pictures before the class began, and allowed our group to do the choreography together just us so we could record it. I cannot recommend Dance Ojai highly enough!

He's 83 years old & he's still creating art. He told us a little about his life & his artwork. He even let us touch one of his sculpture in the glass case.

They don't really allow parents to watch which is why I took off one star. I loved watching my daughter dancing. They don't have a lot of sitting inside but they have more sitting available outside. Everything looked clean which I liked. I might sign her up again once we are done with other activities we are doing at the moment.

They have a great community, classes are fun, and all of the folks (staff + other students) are friendly.

I have been going for the past couple of months and always leave feeling good about the class. There was a full blown show at the end of the season in Majestic theatre.

The screen is large and there are many seats so should be able to enjoy any showing. One Caveat for me: family friendly movies are usually shown at 2pm, so if you are someone bothered by young children in the audience who may not tolerate sitting still for several hours and who may be naturally noisy, than you may be better off going to evening 6 or 7pm movies. The seats are fine for comfort, older style with no reclining but not too dirty or thin in padding (for comparison, the older seats in the Regency theater in Ventura are much more uncomfortable for me)

On new…read moremovies, I like to get there earlier as it's easier to find a good seat and hopefully they aren't out of snacks already. They have fresh popped popcorn, hot dogs, candy, etc. The concessions are cheaper by quite a bit than the outside theaters. They only have one screen but it's a pretty large theater so can fit a lot of people. I've only seen it super busy one time. But they did run out of hot dogs. They won't give you an extra tray to split the popcorn so you have to figure out another way to share. The seats do not recline but are not uncomfortable. Overall it's a nice theater and you can't beat the price.
