The crowd is alive and the laughter is contagious. The cast is so talented and they get actors from all over the US. PCPA grads and more. They even serve you at the snack bar and they love and deserve tips. Book online. No printed tickets necessary. They either look up your name or you show them your pdf tickets that are emailed to you. Small place gets crammed with people but it's all good because you're close to the action.

Our niece and nephew took an gymnastic class here for five days at the end of summer break, which…read morewas a great way to burn off that end of summer energy and learn something at the same time! The interior is nice and spacious, with lots of mat space for the kids. They attended class each day from 8:30 am until 12;30 and we picked them up when they were done to drive them home. We stopped in to watch the last ten minutes or so of class. The class seemed very well organized, with all kids engaged, and being attended to. Our nephew was excited to show us how he had learned a tumbling run ending in a flip in just five days! As a former teacher myself, I appreciated the way that the instructor addressed each child by name, lining them up safely and comfortably to wait outdoors for their parents to pick them up!

I wrote a review a few months ago . I got lengthy response with all of a sudden new classes that…read morebecame " available " after the fact. I had mentioned at the beginning before my sons trial that my son is autistic and therefore is a runner. The class was o.k, the teacher wasn't very warm towards my son or any of the kids actually . She wasn't mean but I would say just a very dry personality for someone who works with children. After I wrote my review about the class being ok but not recommending it for other children that may be special needs because of the fact that they had the doors open and the teacher didn't really Try to assist me when she saw me struggling.. I got an email with all these classes that would be suitable for my son . I was upset that these classes all of a sudden became available until after my review . I responded and then never got anything back . Just feels like I was ignored once again and that person just wanted to be able to check something off their list to say that they "provided" me with more options . I don't feel heard . Again , don't recommend for families with special needs .

Even though this studio is no longer in business (thanks to the CA governor and his dictatorial…read moremandates during Covid) I would have recommended this studio to everyone. My sister and I danced there as children and so did my youngest daughter and two of my nieces. In fact my daughter was there until the doors had to be shuttered and she has refused to dance anywhere else. The owner/teacher is one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. She adored all her dancers. Celebrated their birthdays, and gave little gifts to student for holidays. For the recital she provided quiet activities for the younger students backstage and all her students got a little gift after the recital. As for the one other review on this page, it was written in anger. The daughter was in the same class as my niece, right before my daughter's class. I knew the mom, not well but well enough to know she was a bit dramatic. She was also friends with my sister. The way the studio ran was you could pay to take group lessons (ballet, tap, and jazz- that was one class) and/or you could pay for private lessons for the style of dance your child preferred. If you paid for private lessons your child was guaranteed a solo (or duet or trio) in the recital. My daughter had both group and private lessons. Now if your child was with the studio for 10 years, they had the opportunity to perform a solo in the recital at no extra cost for lessons. The story in the other reviewer told is all a lie, none of it ever happened. I was a witness to what really happened. The studio owner took pictures of the students in their costumes and month or two prior to the recital to put in the program for the recital. On the day pictures were being done my daughters photos were being taken at the same time as her cousins group (partly because my nieces and my daughter had a dance they were doing together so they needed photos in their group costume). The other reviewer was at one time a department store photographer (in her mind that made her a professional photographer) and decided to bring her own camera to the photo session at the dance studio. The studio owner didn't mind parents taking candid photos with their phones, but asked that they refrain from taking pictures with her lighting set up and the students after they were posed for photos. Parents were offered packages for buying photos later to help cover the costs of renting the auditorium for dress rehearsal and the recital and the printing of the program. The other reviewer became increasingly angry when she was asked to stop taking photos with the lighting and poses from directly behind the studio owner. She kept taking photos despite being asked to stop. The mom's camera was also causing the flash to go off messing up the photos being taken by the studio owner. After being asked to stop several times the mom was asked to step out of the studio while the photo session continued. Mom could stand by the door and still watch what was going on inside. Mom wasn't listening still and blew up at the studio owner then stormed off with her poor daughter in tow yelling about suing the studio owner. The daughter didn't come back and at the last minute dances had to be reworked to accommodate for the missing dancer. I feel bad for the daughter. She was a sweet kid and was really enjoying going to dance lessons.

Please ignore the other review of this business. My wife is a twenty year veteran of this studio…read more My youngest daughter has just begun her fifth year with the school. The owner/instructor is a very good woman who genuinely loves her students and does her level best to provide a program commiserate with the interest and skill levels of her students. She has become a good family friend through the years. My sister-in-law and both of her daughters have enjoyed years of lessons at the studio as well. Don't let one negative review sully the honor of a good local business and business owner!

PCPA is an amazing theater company that produces Broadway quality shows. Each season they come out…read morewith a set of shows that you can attend. Each and every time I am gone, the ushers and ticket takers have been super friendly and are more than willing to help if you need anything. The actors are top-notch, giving their best each and every performance. There are some resident actors that you see often in shows, and it's always wonderful to see them mixed with a cast of actors from all over. If you're a fan of a show they're performing and even if you aren't, it is well worth the cost of a ticket to go and spend a night at the theater. 10 out of 10 or recommend.

Double review: Birthday parties and regular gym. Both 5 stars!…read more Birthday: Easy, organized, timely, super fun, and accommodating. As a parent, it was so easy to throw a party here. They were waiting and ready for us when we arrived, they cleaned up after, they had a plan and stuck to it. Great for all of the kids we invited (ages 2-10). Regular gym: I'm grateful for how serious they are about training and growth. They have a plan, they're watching and adjusting as my child grows, they do regular reviews, there's a space for me and my other kids to wait while class is happening. It's fun but it's not just play time. My kid couldn't be happier and neither could we! Coach Aubrey is awesome.
