I grew up in the suburbs of Waco Texas. My child, this past summer while visiting her grandparents,…read morehad the privileged opportunity of taking dance with and in the studio of my old friend, and former dance company partner, Gina Nix, owner and dance teacher of All That Jazz Dance Academy. What I am surprised about, is how much time has gone by: 20 years her studio has been up and running, and they are still going strong! (Omg, I feel old). I knew in my heart and gut, if anyone in our company was going to grow up to own and operate her own successful dance studio, that person would be Gina Nix. I can't believe my four-year-old learned so much within a month's time! Truthfully, because of Gina, I'm not surprised at all. "Miss Gina" is not a shrewd disciplinarian, though she definitely knows how to command her space with movement (that thing she teaches) with great skill, patience, talent, and in her own meticulous fashion. Her students learn what their parents pay them to learn- HOW TO DANCE CORRECTLY. And from what I've seen, they manage to have a great time to boot. My little girl (now in kindergarten and back in CA ) will still, at random, practice shuffle-hop step's, arabesques and pique turns in public, at home, at the grocery store etc., and loudly verbalize the dance terminology as she goes. What a blessing she was in such good hands at All That Jazz! It will always be my hope that the students and staff at All That Jazz maintain to receive the kudos they deserve; both in their hometown, and in all the cities in which they successfully go to compete several times every year. I will always be rooting for them and my heart, and yelling, "Break a Leg!" And for the studio's namesake, "Its Showtime, Folks!"

I have three sons -- 9 year old identical twins and a 13 year old. My twins grew up at Academy for…read moreCreative Learning, attending there from the time they turned two until they started kindergarten. My oldest son attended the ACL school age program during Christmas break and summer for three years. I cannot say enough good things about ACL -- our family has many very sweet memories of our time there. One of the features that distinguishes ACL from other child care facilities is that the owner pays her employees well and there is very little turn over there. The teachers (God bless them) work there because they love kids and they have the patience of saints (if my life depended on it I don't think I could manage even a day in charge of a classroom full of two year olds, but these ladies make it look easy and fun). Each teacher that we came into contact with took the time to really get to know my boys -- even though my twins look exactly alike, they were always treated like the individuals that they are. When they were three, one of my sons needed some medical tests in Dallas and I was stunned when his teacher spent the weekend driving all over town to find him a stuffed bulldog (his favorite animal at the time) to cuddle with during his test. During the year my boys were in the pre-K room our family went through a divorce and the teachers were such a big help in providing my boys the stability and TLC that they needed through that difficult transition. The hair salon was a great feature -- all you have to do is leave payment at the front desk in the morning and when you pick up your child at the end of the day they have a fantastic hair cut. The swimming pool was great too -- the daily time in the pool during the summer time went a long way toward my boys developing a love for water. The summer school age camp was super -- every day was filled with field trips, fun crafts, time in the pool and games. My boys still reminisce about summers at ACL -- especially the weekly visits from the snow cone truck. As far as I'm concerned, the only downside of ACL is that the food is kind of junky -- white bread, juice drinks, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, and processed cheese are all featured prominently on the menu. I did find, however, that the staff was good about abiding by my request that my boys be served the healthier options and given water instead of juice drinks. The bottom line is that I recommend ACL wholeheartedly.

Rhonda the owner welcomed us with open arms and explained in detail what her store was about. We figured out we could make a sign to commemorate our years together and it was just the best time after that. There are so many options of what to make and the guidance Rhonda provided was outstanding. This place is perfect for a date night, company gathering, or any other event that you want to be creative and have something you can be proud of in your hand when you leave. Cost was not an issue imo and was very reasonable. If you're looking for something fun to do in Waco add this place to your list. I Promise you won't be disappointed.

That wasn't the message at all, and an hour later I picked my finished piece up. It's gorgeous and will make a beautiful gift which I'm sure will become a family treasure.

I was once excited to support this theatre and participate in its productions, but over time my…read moreconfidence in the organization has steadily declined. The most recent example involved a social media post following the announcement of Tim Curry's passing. The theatre published a post that many community members perceived as distasteful and opportunistic, using the news of his death to promote its Spring 2027 production of Clue. Whether that was the intent or not, numerous patrons expressed genuine concerns about the timing and tone. Rather than consistently handling those concerns with professionalism, the theatre's official social media account became increasingly defensive. The individual managing the account identified herself as the theatre's Marketing and Development Manager, Ray Lowe, and responded to members of the public with comments such as, "Please stop your bias," "I'm so over it," "I'm sorry I am smart and know how to make a brand sound professional," and "Please freaking stop." Those are not the kinds of responses I expect from someone entrusted with representing a community arts organization whose role is to build relationships with patrons, donors, volunteers, and the public. What concerns me even more is that the entire public exchange, including the theatre's own responses, was later removed. Rather than leaving the conversation visible and addressing the criticism transparently, the result was that the public could no longer see the interaction that prompted the concerns or evaluate the organization's response, and the conduct of its Marketing and Development Manager while representing the theatre, for themselves. Unfortunately, this incident did not feel like an isolated mistake. Based on my own experiences with the organization over the years, I have watched the theatre's culture, professionalism, and public image steadily decline. Marketing has become inconsistent, the quality and reputation of productions appear to have diminished, and concerns raised by patrons or volunteers seem increasingly to be met with defensiveness or dismissal rather than thoughtful engagement. These are not the qualities that inspire confidence in a community organization that depends on the trust and support of its volunteers, audiences, donors, and local artists. Community theatre thrives on collaboration, transparency, accountability, and respectful engagement. I sincerely hope the Board of Directors takes a careful look at the organization's leadership, current staff members, communication practices, and overall culture. This theatre has the potential to be an incredible asset to the community, but meaningful accountability and a renewed commitment to professionalism are needed if it hopes to regain the confidence of those who have chosen to step away.
