In Creative Writing, I was surprised to see my older son showing interest in writing. Teacher Ish was able to help him develop his story further and even to the point of publishing as a book later on. That inspired him to want to keep writing and develop more stories. The theater class was so fun. The kids were able to experience all the aspects of theater performance. From remembering lines, character interaction, voice projection, performing in front of a large audience and much more. Teacher Ish had good control of the class. Her advice on how to carry themselves for the play will benefit their character development well into adulthood. There was an assistant, Mitchell, who was very helpful, and plays the guitar. One thing that was challenging was to try to go to all the classes/rehearsals. But it worked out at the end and the show was funny and engaging. I strongly recommend this class. Kids will learn so much and have fun at the same time!!!

My 8 year old has some attention & impulse control difficulties so, I was hesitant to sign him up. The group was small & Ms. Ish was wonderful. She really took the time to get to know my son & connect with him. It was wonderful to see his progress & culmination of the leadership & communication skills he acquired throughout the 10-week program. Each class started with some games to build camaraderie & trust between the children. I am looking forward to future classes with Ms. Ish as we found the outcome to be something we were all so proud of!

American High School Performing arts is a student theatre company at American High. The director of…read moreits annual school plays (in the fall) and school musicals (in the spring) are directed by the school's Drama teacher, Mr. River. Each year, he does a great job directing each school plays and musicals, and Mr. Wong does a great job coordinating the music that plays in the background of the plays. Despite not seeing any of the play or musicals in 9th grade or 10th grade, I did saw the best musicals in 11th and 12th grade. The lead character in some of those musicals was Julia Lyell. She is one of the best AHSPA performers I've ever seen. I would recommend others who attend American High School to see one of those musicals.

My daughter started as a recreational student, and from day one, every teacher was so welcoming,…read moresupportive, and encouraging.

I am not a student of Max Dance Company but I attended an dance fusion event organized by then. It…read morewas simply amazing and entertaining. 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!!

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.

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.
