We tried this studio after having a less-than-great experience at another one in town. The owners…read moreare SO kind and attentive, and fielded my dozens of questions before we even did a trial class. During the trial class, my daughter (2.5 years) was participating and connecting with the teacher within the first few minutes. By contrast, she didn't participate much at the other studio even after multiple classes. And it's because the teachers at the dance network are so compassionate and engaging. We have since told friends and family to join us at the dance network! When you walk into the studio it has such a calm, home-like vibe and it's just completely unpretentious, which is hard to find around here. So glad we found this place!

Growing up, my mother was an owner of a large dance studio and she taught tap. I spent my childhood…read morelearning lots of dance -- especially ballet, tap and jazz. So when I was looking for a dance studio for my daughter, I wanted the same quality instruction, small classes and creative dance recitals with lots of fun and support. Dance Unlimited fits my requirements perfectly! Lisa, and the other instructors my daughter has taken lessons from, have been just wonderful. I think it especially hard to find someone who really understands tap -- and tap is Lisa's special background. The girls in my daughter's combo ballet/tap class were able to vote if they wanted to do a ballet or tap routine in the holiday recital and they all chose tap! Please come and watch this creative show and support Dance Unlimited! Dos Pueblos High School, Saturday, December 16, 2017 at 6pm-8pm Lisa also does a lot of community outreach and has performed at the farmer's market, Lemon Festival and other events. The prices for classes are very reasonable. This is a great local studio with high quality instruction and lots of heart!

From The Independent we learned of the SB Dance Center's $7 dance lesson and practice party afterward and decided to give it a shot. The Center is spacious with a nice-sized lobby for chit-chat, and two generous ballrooms with good fans and nice art. Class was surprisingly well-attended for a rainy Saturday night and we were treated to a Charleston/Lindy Hop lesson. I've been Lindy Hopping since '98 (damn I'm old!) but I appreciated the refresher. Our fellow dancers were from a variety of backgrounds and ages, and all were kind and friendly, exactly the wholesome type you encounter at a swing dance. The instructors did a nice job incorporating the basics for all the beginners and even tossed in a couple of more advanced moves for those of us long-time lindy hoppers. We stayed after for the practice dance, and although it was initially weird getting asked to dance (and asking guys to dance again!) it was super fun and I know Chun P. wouldn't mind. Every Saturday night the Center offers a different type of dance lesson, and I'm looking forward to dropping by for a dance and seeing my new friends on my next trip!

The stage curtains can no longer be fully retracted for a widescreen movie. Super Mario Galaxy, of all things, had about 3 feet on each side projected onto the curtains. Abandoning the beautiful entryway and its kiosk is unforgiveable. Instead you are to buy your tickets in the box office, which bears no resemblance to the rest of the building. It looks like a pop-up version of the office at your middle school. It's beautiful inside, and the unpleasant smell is faint enough you'll forget it once your popcorn and red licorice ick int. But be sure you sit in the front 10 to 20 rows if you want to actually feel you are watching a projected film on a big screen. My negativity is here to apply what small share of pressure I can contribute to what should be one of Santa Barbara's iconic landmarks. The theater is worth visiting anyway. On a certain level it is wonderful. But boy does it need a lot of work.
