THEY CHARGED US A $20 cover , TURNS OUT ITS ONLY A $5 COVER! DO NOT GO HERE…read more Do not go here. My boyfriend and I had an extremely disappointing experience and felt completely unwelcome. While everyone around us was being served, we were consistently ignored despite being first in line. It was very noticeable and frustrating. Patrick, in particular, was incredibly unprofessional and strange. He seemed to go out of his way to assist other customers while avoiding us altogether. The level of service we received was unacceptable and left us feeling singled out. To make matters worse, there is a $20 cover charge. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this place.

Cannot say enough about: the quality of dance instruction; the high quality performance opportunities; and how much is gained by this extracurricular activity on so many levels - teamwork, social/emotional skill building, confidence, and positive movement for the body. It has been a huge part of our life and given so much to my daughter's life. P.S. And Patty happens to be SO good, that she turns out professional dancers, too!

OH. MY. FREAKIN'. GOODNESS. Doing this was fabulous!…read more Standing on the top platform, strapped in and someone holding you from the back as your leaning over the platform with both hands on the bar...I didn't know what I was thinking when I organized a group of people to come here and learn to swing like they do in the circus. I know I was thinking it'd be fun and that indeed, it was. For $35/person (cash or check only), you get the basics in learning the safe and correct way to swing on the bar, letting go of the bar, doing a back flip as you land and last but not least, being "caught" by a Trapeze Pro staff member. Marek and his staff of Daryl, Hope and another lady were so friendly, encouraging and patient that they make you feel at ease as your fear of falling or hurting yourself sinks in as you climb the ladder up to the platform. They're first concern is your safety and of course, making sure you have fun. What I learned is that you gotta give 110% trust these guys. They've been doing this for ages and when they bark their orders, you just gotta do as they say without thinking about it...even if the order is to let go of the bar so you can fall down to the net. The location is definitely lovely. A giant trapeze rig in the outdoors, surrounded by trees and sometimes, rattlesnakes and mountain lions (we had the fortunate pleasure of not seeing either). There are picnic benches and seats for you to sit at. You can bring food but they just ask you to dispose of your own waste. There's a port-o-potty on the grounds as well. Come wearing track pants, sweats or leggings and flip flops or sandals are ideal since when flying, you should be shoe-less or you can wear socks. T-shirts are fine, but since you'll be hanging upside down, you'll either want to tuck in your shirt or you may be flashing your fellow friends. My group of 8 got around 8 swings each on the trapeze. Group are usually 7-10 people and if you have more than 10 you get a 10% discount. In planning a group, I suggest you collect money from everyone BEFORE you arrive because if someone bails out last minute, at least you've gotten their money and aren't stuck paying for them out of your pocket (which is what happened to me). So hold onto that white trapeze bar, look at the Tibetan flag and when Hope says "Ready!" you make sure you bend your knees so that when she says "Hep!" you jump up and there you are...swinging on a trapeze.

Some of the best things in life are the experiences that follow you through your life. I am a…read moreperson absolutely petrified of high places. I am also someone in control of my daily destiny, as well as that of others. This makes for a double whammy with the Trapeze Pro experience. . . Enter Marek (Maw-Rek) and his incredible crew. First, the location is set in the beautiful back country area of Sonoma. You can't help but relax as you drive through the trees to your destination. Everything is set up outside, so YES, you are going to be flying up in the trees (well not IN the trees, but with them). There are trampolines and other hanging apparatus to enjoy yourself with while waiting for your class to begin. Second, Marek, and the entire staff are all so very nice, funny, and encouraging. You feel safe, and you "know you can do this". . . Instructions are clear and concise. Listen to the instructions, . . then turn that logical (which will suddenly become illogical when fear strikes you) brain off, and listen to your instructor! They know exactly what they are doing. I feel for Sharon, as I had a tendency to 'freeze' while on top of the platform. But, she would keep talking, and I would eventually get myself back in order. Keep Smiling!!! . . . You can do this!!! And, Marek, scolding me for 'trying to think it out'. . . Let go of the control button, and just listen to your instructor! With a couple practice swings to get you familiar with the process, and comfortable with actually being on the trapeze, you will find yourself getting excited to complete the process, which will be to release and have someone 'catch' you. It's very exciting, it's very scary (at first), and it's all very much worth your efforts. You will leave with a bit more confidence in what you can accomplish.

** I also posted this in "Broadway Under The Stars" **…read more Sensational show last night as Broadway Under The Stars performed A Chorus Line in the ruins of Jack London State Park. It was a great show and marked the first time that a Broadway Show was performed instead of a mixed number of show songs and dance. If you are thinking of attending, the venue at Jack London State Park is one of a kind. If you want to picnic before the show there are several excellent Food Trucks, Wine Tables and picnic tables to sit and enjoy. Don't forget to bring a warm jacket as it can get cols once the sun sets. There is really nothing I would change, it is a first class show in a beautiful historic setting.

On the day we were to go to this outside event, California was having 102-105 degree heat warnings…read more California government said to stay inside and avoid the sun. With that said, we called five or six times to the box office to see if the play was canceled since California weather station was saying not to go out. We could not reach anyone but left messages each time we called. The next morning a very nice woman called and said they did get the messages but were too busy the night before to respond. We told her about the weather alerts/warnings and she said they did not cancel the production. I guess lots of people didn't go and also left messages. I asked if they could let us use our tickets ($76 x 2) at some other date and she said no, "the show must go on." I asked her if they expected the entertainers to put on the show in such heat and she said yes. I asked her if the expected patrons, many elderly, to walk two blocks from parking, wait in line for their will call tickets, and then sit in the sun for two hours in 105 degree heat. She said "the show must go on." They would not let us use our tickets at a late date. It seems to me if the State of California is issuing heat warnings and advisories, telling people to stay in, that this venue would have at least let patrons reschedule for a later show. I did not expect to lose $160 to inconsiderate and dangerous policies of this group. My friends go every year, love it, which is why they bought the tickets again this year. We do understand the conflict of refunding tickets but we did not ask for that. We asked for tickets for seats that were wherever open at a later date. They denied this simple request. What a shame.
