I'v been to the MAC a few times in the past and have really enjoyed it, but this time it just…read morewasn't good, and I don't think I will be back. My dinner was cold by the time it got to me. There was a skimpy portion of thin and fatty odds and ends of ham, some coagulated super garlicky mashed potatoes with no butter or gravy, and steamed green beans which were flavorless and completely unadorned. The seating was incredibly cramped, and I did not enjoy sharing a table with complete strangers. There was an air conditioning vent blowing directly down onto me, and the wall behind me was filthy with dust bunnies and lint. By the end of the show several people in my general vicinity started displaying signs of irritability due to the tight quarters. The show I saw was A Christmas Story, and while the classic movie translated to the stage better than I thought it would, I felt there were a few elements that should have been excluded - such as the racism in the Chinese restaurant scene, the sexism in just about every scene with women in it, the portrayal of smoking, and the overacting (even for a community theater production where part of the appeal is the campiness) that I honestly don't remember being present in previous shows I have been to. One last thing - if you are going to do a show that features a firearm (even an unloaded BB gun) for f*ck's sake please educate your actors on proper handling. The barrel of anything (even an unloaded BB gun) pointed in my direction is gut twistingly uncomfortable.

I saw Shrek the Musical here two years ago, and saw Oklahoma today. The food here is pretty good…read more I've had the pork shank twice, and it does not disappoint! The mashed sweet potatoes are heavenly! The dessert was okay; store-bought raspberry cheesecake. The show was pretty good too. There were some missteps in some of the dance numbers (near drop, near fall into orchestra pit), and a couple of wardrobe malfunctions (ripped pants, ripped hemline), but otherwise the show was very enjoyable. Now the question is: are these servers who act, or actors who serve? Because they do both very well!

What a strange experience as a non-Christian... I found this studio on Groupon and didn't do full…read moreresearch on it beforehand so that part is on me, but starting a class with a prayer and ending with gospel music stretching was.... quite an experience as a non-religious person with a Jewish upbringing! What a time. I did see after the fact that their website mentions this practice, but it doesn't exactly make it welcoming to non-religious customers. The adult tap class I tried was challenging in new ways and definitely more focused on classical tap with a hint of Irish dancing, which isn't my favorite but I know that is studio dependent. The teacher was knowledgeable but didn't really explain steps fully to the whole class, and the woman next to me was asking me questions throughout about how to break down a movement when the teacher herself kept messing it up, even though I was brand new. They have tape on the floor to mark distance but the teacher stated she didn't know how to maintain distance yet during class and many of the students were right next to one another. Only I and one other student wore a mask in a class of 8-10 people. My biggest disappointment was the lack of acknowledgement and following of the mask mandate. Aside from a couple of people I saw inside and plexiglass at the front desk, it was like entering a pre-COVID world. Staff and customers alike did not wear masks, and yet there were crowds of kids moving about the studio and adults all very close to one another, maskless and without distancing. They had only 1 sign on the front door asking people to distance. Religion will not protect you from a pandemic or a state mandate.

Wow! I'm so thankful for Lighthouse Dance! What an incredible place for my children (and hopefully…read moremyself one of these days) to learn the art of dance at. The staff is very welcoming and professional, and the facility is clean and beautiful. They even have special air filtration systems in place for the safety of their students! They go above any beyond with even having someone man the door so that we don't have to open or close it while coming in and leaving! (At least on the day we are there they do.) The foyer is never packed because they clearly communicate with their families as to how to drop off and pick up their kiddos. I am so thankful my children can have some normality during what's been a mentally challenging time. Not only children, but parents too, need to have outlets of community and lighthouse is a safe place for it. My children get excited for dance days, and I do too. Thank you Lighthouse Dance for offering a safe, professional, and encouraging place in Loveland.

There was an ATM and a coin machine which was perfect since we didn't come prepared. It was clean. The machines were all in working condition. There were places to sit while they played.

If you see me here- you better watch out for your scores! I got the best hands in the business. I would also say I have the best mouth in the business if reference to the drinking. I can tell you what tastes the best - and they have great drinks here. Thank you

I'm so thankful to have found this place. Dance has been a dream of mine since I was a girl. (My…read moreeyes would tear up watching any live dance performance. But I didn't have the opportunity to pursue that dream.) As an adult, most options were barred by my work schedule, the price-tag, or prerequisite experience. There were a few exceptions--times when I've slipped into ballet shoes and into an adult dance class. But, despite my desire to learn, I'd fall behind, feeling like an outsider in a club for the more experienced. Thankfully, since moving to Loveland last year, I noticed SlapStep Studio online. The location (near King Soopers on E 29th St), and the price-tag ($25 two week trial), made it convenient to try. I jumped into 4 classes the first week, and returned to two classes the second week. I found all the instructors to be helpful and insightful, reminding me of some of my favorite yoga instructors, as they highlight muscles used for each move. Bonnie's Lyrical dance on Thursdays is emotive, and unites the entire body for poetic, fluid motions. In Vixen or other classes, Marlene's dance expertise and care is evident in her smile and elegant display of each glide and gesture. You don't need to have prior experience to join beginner classes, and instructors and fellow students are encouraging and positive. Marlene's classes especially draw dancers from a span of ages--from twenty-something to retired. In every class, including Flora's Pound Fit on Friday, there were ecstatic moments where all levels and ages danced together harmoniously. Thanks for making dance classes for grown ups of all levels, and for the introductory offer of $25 for two weeks. (Also, I should be able to afford the $55 for 4 classes a month, but I'm searching for a job right now.) Hope this studio and its students are around for a long time!

The classes that I tried with their 2-week unlimited class deal were fun, very well taught, and in a clean, bright, spacious studio with a beautiful sprung wood dance floor. Everything was very professional, yet personalized, so that I have been really excited to go back and try more classes! Marlene's Vixen class really got my heart pumping, yet was slow enough for me to learn the dance steps, easily, and it was jazzy! Flora's PoundFit class with the drum sticks is unique, and a great workout, followed by revitalizing relaxation techniques! I am so happy to find this wonderful, new dance studio! It's a great way to have fun while getting fit! There is plenty of parking in the Orchard Shopping Center, too!
