Kim's little homey cottage is located right next to the Sierra 2 Center in East Sacramento and there is street parking available. The class for my daughter's age group is on Tuesdays from 5-7pm with 1 hour being for singing/voice lessons and the other 1 hour being for dance lessons. There are 4 classes a month essentially for under $200. Kim was very professional and great with the kids! It was fun to see new and returning students in her class and to see who was comfortable and who was still coming out of their shell. My daughter had a great time at the trail class, but she currently does another activity on Tuesdays so the class for her age group isn't a good fit for us right now, but we hope to come back and join Kim's class in the future. Give them a call or visit if you or your kids are interested in Performing Arts - Kim has been around for 30+ years and you can tell how much she loves what she does!

I've had several music teachers but honestly they got nothing on her. i only see her once a week and I have a busy schedule with social activities but i'd rather see her 3 days a week instead of one. She's worth it. She inspires me to become a better singer every week. I love working with her it's such and honor to be called her student.

Rize All: Where quiet kids dance!…read more We came in with our nervous, quiet kid who surprised us when he decided to join a hip hop class. Ms. Mona and Julia welcomed him with positivity and kindness, helping him feel comfortable in minutes. As soon as class started, he was grooving! As performance day arrived I feared he would lose confidence but he jumped on stage with a HUGE smile and pride! Rize All isn't just about dance--it's about confidence and pure joy. P.S. If you're on the fence--do it. What have you got to lose?

Our youngest daughter is four and absolutely loves to dance. She went with a friend to an…read moreintroductory class at another studio and loved it. Parking is typically pretty easy to find in the large shopping center they're in. We signed her up for their once a week introduction to dance class. She loved her classmates and instructor and wanted to do their recital in June. The class provided a lot of valuable life lessons. She learned and had several things reiterated: confidence, human kindness, paying attention, respect, responsibility, timeliness, and trying your hardest. Their waiting room is exceptionally small, and they prefer you drop off and pick up your child after class. Unfortunately, that's not realistic for her due to some separation anxiety issues, but we'll continue working on it. Starbucks and Walgreens are both within walking distance for those who are able to drop off their child or children. They sell a variety of ballet and dance apparel and shoes. The recital costumes were reasonably priced and absolutely gorgeous. Tickets were also reasonably priced, and the show was well planned and executed. Our daughter's dance partner bailed on her before the second show, and her instructor Mona helped instill the confidence in her to perform a solo rendition that she did a fantastic job with. She's excited to begin class again in August after soccer is over and to perform again in December's recital.

I have been to the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium too many times to count - starting from seeing…read morethe boy band 98 Degrees back in 1999 to visiting for my nephew's high school graduation yesterday! I have seen many concerts here and even comedy shows! They even had a big boxing match last weekend! I love the nostalgia of the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium - it feels old timey but still updated and not run down. There are 3 levels, but not a bad seat in the house! They sell food and drinks during normal shows, but of course they are still pricy like most concerts are! Staff is questionable - most are nice, but then some take their jobs a little too seriously if you know what I mean. Since the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium is downtown, you have the problem of downtown parking. You can be lucky with street parking, but there are also parking garages nearby. I also like that the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium is surrounded by restaurants too - so you can grab a bite before or after an event. I'm sure I will be back again soon! Check them out!

Some buildings just hold memories, and this one holds a lot of mine…read more I've lost count of how many times I've walked through these doors. Graduations where I watched people I love cross that stage. Concerts that gave me chills. Comedy shows where my face hurt from laughing. Even a few boxing nights where the whole room was on its feet. Different events, different crowds, but the feeling walking in is always the same. The first thing you notice is the architecture. It's historic and genuinely beautiful, the kind of place that makes an ordinary Tuesday night feel like an occasion. They don't build them like this anymore. Every time I look up at the details, I appreciate that downtown Sacramento has held onto something this special. What keeps me coming back, though, is the people. The ushers are warm and welcoming, the kind who actually seem glad you're there. Security is professional and on top of things without ever making you feel watched. You're in good hands from the moment you arrive. The sightlines are wonderful too. It's an intimate room, so wherever you sit you feel close to the action. A tip if you end up in the upper balcony: the seating up there is wooden and runs a little smaller, so it's cozier, but the view is still great and there's a charm to it. If you want to catch an event in the heart of downtown, you really can't do better than this. It's a treasure, and I'll keep coming back for many more memories.

I finally got to see The Lion King for the very first time, something I've wanted to experience for many years, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I went solo and honestly loved the experience. I purposely chose an aisle seat so I could watch the performers move up and down the aisles, and I'm so glad I did. It made the show feel even more immersive and special, especially during those moments when the cast comes through the audience. The venue itself is beautiful and easy to navigate. From entering the building to finding my seat, everything felt organized and smooth. The seating was comfortable, the sightlines were great, and the sound quality was excellent, which really matters for a production like this. As for The Lion King, it was amazing. The costumes, music, and staging were stunning, and seeing it live after wanting to for so long made it even more meaningful. Overall, such a great first experience at this venue. I would absolutely come back to see another performance here, and I'm so glad this is where I finally got to see a show that had been on my list for years

It is usually what deters me from visiting downtown/midtown. Now I got that out of the way... We purchased tickets pretty much 30 minutes before starting time to watch Hairspray. All the workers were very friendly, helpful and patient. We asked for suggestions for seating and he recommended a specific location that didn't break the bank. Once everyone was directed to be seated, I observed the workers ushering us all in with smiles on their faces and were very friendly. Ample space and seating. Hairspray? Awesome! I loved seeing the performers utilizing the entire space and coming from different directions. The ad-lib moments interacting with the crowd was perfect! Overall, it was a wonderful performance and we very much enjoyed it. I'll be back!

Classes are about an hour long, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule. The staff is knowledgeable, motivating, and fun to work with. The facility is clean and well equipped, with TVs, showers, lockers, and plenty of workout space. Workouts are displayed on screens, and members move through different stations around the gym, which keeps things interesting and engaging. One thing I appreciate most is the community. People are friendly, welcoming, and always willing to say hello to new faces. If you're looking for a great workout, a supportive environment, and a way to get stronger, come check it out. I look forward to seeing you in class!

Parking is pretty easy and free at 3 nearby parking garages w/90 minutes validation, which would be much better at 120 minutes b/c 90 minutes really isn't enough when we have to change into workout clothes, and then wash up after getting all sweaty from exercising and have to walk to the gym and back from the parking garage, all those minutes add up. Another thing about limited time is the LIMITED HOURS that this gym is open. It'd be better if it wasn't open so early but open till later on weekends.

Roof top basketball court is always available. I've even attended a birthday party here for my nephew and we ran some basketball games and enjoyed the lounge area on the top floor. Can't say enough about this gym. Lots of mirrors to catch every angle of the work I put in. I would highly encourage everyone to sign up for a trial and see what you think of this location yourself. It's worth every penny.

She needs special bobbins that you can't just buy on the Internet.. They also carry a wall of Metler threads. I recently brought my sewing machine here for maintenance when she broke down. It takes a couple of weeks to get your machine back, but they did excellent work. She's very clean now and I even got a little note from the mechanic how to maintenance my machine from home. There's a giant parking lot so parking is never a problem. Everyone is super friendly and I can imagine the classes here are fun.

Mind you, I filled out that form and made phone inquiries to other dealers as well. Jennifer was the only one to respond. She provided me with great information and I decided to make the trip up to visit the store. Based upon the emailed information and hands on demonstration Jennifer provided I purchased my dream machine. Jennifer wasn't the only helpful Meissner's employee I encountered that day. The receptionist/greeter was very helpful. And as I wondered around waiting for Jennifer to finish up with a customer; I was greeted, and offered assistance, by another employee. In addition, as I was making my purchase, a customer brought in her Serger for service. A technician came out looked at the machine, listened to what was causing the customer issues, saw the problem and fixed it on the spot! They have a wide variety of machines for all levels, notions and some fabric choices. I would highly recommend visiting and speaking to Meissner Sewing & Vacuum if you are looking to make a purchase.

Many of the children attending either go to a school where she comes to play or have been to a GRF event so everyone was really excited! Leading up to the event, Jillian's assistant Brittany reached out and asked if there were any specific song requests and a list of all the children's names. It was really special because Jillian called out every child's name at the party which was a nice touch. She sang a bunch of different songs, she was interacting with all of the kids, and she also brings a lot of instruments, scarves, etc. It was such a special day and I know all the kids and parents had a great time!
