These guys go on stage 'without a parachute' and the situations they create along with comedic intelligence keeps you engaged in laughter and 'did he actually say that'? The show is so inexpensive that you JUST GOTTA GO. Such a great night out even for retired people. Don't forget there are classes for children adults, and the would be great for a corporate off-site. The classes really help you be more flexible and comfortable with new and different situations. Show this theatre some love and go to the next show.

There is a 15-min intermission after the first hr. NO Animals in this Show. Clown is like a Pee-Wee Herman named Alex. Started out with a guy that sang a Mexican song & Frank Sinatra's "My Way" in English. Some acrobats & Alex pulled guys in the audience to do some silly stuff like boxing match & something else. Guy balanced stuff in his mouth or nose, some magic tricks. Second act more of the same kinds of stuff. Kinda meh show, I think some kids enjoyed it though.

Alex was quite hilarious as a joker. The MC from New York did a fabulous job with balancing different items on his nose & chin. The weight of the long table, moving cart, & ladder ceased to amaze me. The other acts reminded me of the Cirque shows. At least, they have magical acts in this show, & it's the theme as well. You can purchase a cheaper ticket online through Goldstar. The line is shorter at the will call booth. I was fortunate to park at the entrance. The circus is located at the other side of Macy's building. Overall, my hubby & I really enjoyed the performance. Beware of bug bites from the seats! Poor hubby got bitten all over his bottom half. I got bitten on the left ankle area.

A M B I A N C E + The theater seating is consecutive straight rows like an auditorium, so every seat has a good view. We had assigned seating. Theater was clean and cozy. + The chairs were comfy, not the kind where you end up stiff if you've got long legs. + There are ADA seating available, and specific shows with ASL interpreters. + Concessions and restrooms are super close on the right of the theater when you enter the front doors. + The acting, stage design, and music were superb. The stage design was very elaborate considering their low budget. +++ The fake snow falling outside the theater after our show was a lovely touch. C O N C E S S I O N S I didn't partake in any as I came directly after dinner. They had several options from Famous Amos cookies, m&m's, wine, beer, hot chocolate, and tea.

Our daughter has been learning with her for the last 3 years, and every single class has added not only to her dance journey, but also to her confidence, discipline, and love for performing. One of the most beautiful things about Ms. Sunita is the warmth and positivity she brings into the classroom. The way she welcomes each child with a smile and energy instantly makes students feel comfortable, motivated, and excited to learn. Kids genuinely look forward to her classes every week, which as parents means so much to us. At the same time, Ms. Sunita maintains wonderful discipline and professionalism. Whether it is regular practice sessions or large annual show preparations, her dedication, organization, patience, and attention to detail are truly admirable. She puts immense effort into making sure every child shines on stage while also guiding parents clearly through schedules, costumes, rehearsals, and performance expectations. Her communication and instructions always help families feel prepared and supported. What touches us even more is how thoughtfully she helps and tries to accommodate any scheduling situation during show season despite managing such a large event with so many students. That kindness and understanding truly reflected how much she cares about her students and families. It is rare to find a teacher who combines talent, discipline, warmth, and genuine care so beautifully. Thank you, Ms. Sunita, for all the love, hard work, and passion you pour into teaching these children. We are truly thankful to be part of your dance family.

I was especially amazed at how effectively she teaches in a group setting while still making sure each child is learning and improving. With many years of experience and a genuine love for dance, Sunita brings both expertise and passion to every class. I'm very grateful we found her, and I highly recommend her to other parents and aspiring students looking for high-quality dance training.

A friend of mine was participating so I went to attend it. I thought I will check out her performance, meet her and will come back but I stayed there for the entire event. Their dance performances were soooo good. Overall 10-12 dance groups performed. Toddlers, kids, youth, and adults all were part of different groups. I was amazed that they could train toddlers as well. It is one tough job, I must say. Kids danced well and co-ordination was good. It was surely difficult to teach them as well. Dances by youth were great and it was apparent that they were their students from a long time. Dances by adults were good and most people in the group had never performed in their entire life. Now this is surely a motivation to learn to dance ;) There were 3 performances by their advance students and they were mind blowing. Their moves and performances were so mesmerizing that you will have no idea about your surroundings and time. I loved all of their performances and will surely join them in future. Their instructors work really hard and it shows in the performances. Great job Max Dance Company!!!

To my delight and amazement, Reshmi and Mahi, her company partner, squeezed us in on the incredibly short time crunch. We had 5 lessons and the entire process was fun, enjoyable and SO worth it. Mahi and Reshmi are patient, friendly, and their passion for dancing and helping people genuinely comes through in their lessons. They listened to us, made suggestions on different steps and always gave me and my fiancé constructive criticism. I was also blown away by the variety of dances Reshmi and Mahi are trained in: from salsa to Bhangra, western, formal, and waltz, they make everything look good! The end result at our wedding was fantastic and we got a ton of compliments! I truly don't think our first dance would be on the level that it was without Mahi and Reshmis help. We are so happy we went with your company and can't wait to see the videos of our first dance!!

And he was NOT "taught" anything. He's a naturally good singer, so he sang well. They did NOT provide any voice training. I was hoping they would coach him on movement and dance basics but they did NOT. In summer camp, kids with smaller parts just sit around, there is no coaching to fill their time. They just "play games". In short, it's a lot like everything else. They provide a platform. If the child is naturally talented, motivated and lands a good part it's great. For the rest, it's an activity to check off.

If you come here in December during the annual Christmas Tree Lighting event, you won't be disappointed. Colorful Christmas vibes everywhere.
