Both kids love this place and look forward to attending their class. The staff are nice, helpful, and the property is beautiful. There is a small area near the acting room so that my little one can play while her brother takes his class. There's a table and chairs for family to sit. I highly recommend this place and hope to stay here for many years.

The teachers are excellent and go out of their way to get to know the students and work with them as individuals. For kids more serious about dance or musical theatre, the troupes and companies enable them to get more specialized instruction, as well as several performance opportunities during the year. On a couple of occasions we traveled and performed in the Choreographers festival in Palm Desert, California, where many of the top programs are invited each year. Highly recommend.

It was one of the best decisions we ever made. Everyone at Arthur Murray was super inclusive, welcoming, supportive, personable, professional, and gave off a happy go lucky and good times kind of vibe. They always remind us of upcoming dance lessons and they did a wonderful job rescheduling appointments when something came up. Renata was phenomenal, masterfully skillful at teaching, and patient with us as we attempting to perform the routine with two left feet. It's now after the wedding and life is returning back to normal. But we enjoyed the positive and inviting environment that Arthur Murray Dance Studio so much, that we now want to continue with them, and want to learn other dance forms. I would highly recommend Arthur Murray Dance Studio to anyone looking to learn a new dance, make new friends, get a decent aerobic exercise session, be uplifted with support, and generally want to have a fun time. My favorite phrase they use there is, "Dance is for everyone".

Rip off. Train the teacher program while the teacher tries to pretend to teach you dance for…read morethousands of dollars. Owners grew up in the exact same environment and are never around to actually teach. They will show up when they are selling outrageously priced events to put you in FOMO mode. The model is new students all the time so the inexperienced teachers can fake their way thru lessons and charge a fortune. Go ANYWHERE else. Check out any of their annual holiday videos on YouTube and see for yourself. Not one good performance and lazy inexperienced teachers full of crap to pump you up and out of your money. The reason there are so many five star reviews is because they make it a requirement to go online and give them a review as part of a system to qualify for freebies. So again using their model to sell sell sell, you have to give them a good review so you can get a free lesson or a small party at the end of the month in which they ask you to bring your own food and supply all of the drink drinks for them and in my opinion is never a good deal.

As a parent who has a toddler enrolled in their programs, they are terrible at communication. You…read moredo not get any updates, be it for closures, sessions or even events. Front desk staff also rarely knows anything and you will rarely get a good answer. Most of my answers were from either parents who "attended last year as well" or even driving up to the studio and realizing that they are closed. The only communication you get promptly is for the money they are charging or the change in their payment system asking you to update your payment info so they can regularly process your payments. Shame! Also there is a lot of favoritism and kiss-ass behavior even at 3-4-5 year levels that it amazes me and blows my mind. Also their end of year concert is a big hoax and a great way for the studio owners to mint money be it via event participation fees, outfits, photoshoots, event tickets etc.

Where do we even begin...Starting off, Sarah was very much approachable from the conversations we…read morehad on here just to get an inquire to the start of us meeting with her so she knew what couple she was going to work with. Scheduling with her was so easy and straight forward. She listened to what we wanted for our first dance. We had a mashup of songs & each song that she listened to, she had a dance in mind. She also asked for our input which she added onto the dance. She definitely makes you feel welcomed at her dance space. She's funny when critiquing you. She'll tell you what you're doing wrong and how to fix it. We're so extremely happy that we chose Sarah to help choreograph our first dance. I will say (me the bride) had a bit of a hiccup due to my dress being longer than I had anticipated & a bit of my nerves getting to me, but for the majority of it, our dance turned out great & the crowd was impressed with our dance, especially bc my husband and I don't dance ourselves. Overall, we strongly recommend booking with Sarah!

I let the instructor know about my injury so if she seen me take it easy or go slow, she knew what was up. She was so supportive and understanding! The other members of the class were friendly, chatting to one another before the class and saying hi to the newbie, me. One of them helped me get my shoes attached to the bike since I didn't know how and another helped me with the bars. It was a collaborative environment of strong women which was amazing to be in. I am a plus size lady and while I dont let that stop me from being active, sometimes I feel like an outlier size-wise. But in this class there were women of all sizes and shapes and everyone was getting their workout on and having a blast! I love how we all sang at the end of the session- this class was the definition of a fun group class environment. Great value for the class and everyone should try it.

My ticket cost $100 plus a $7 service fee. If you want professional ballet, you have to head to SF Ballet in San Francisco. Harris Center is part of Folsom Lake College, a community college. It's a school auditorium. Rows are narrow. Seats are not that comfy or spacious. It does not compare to the beautiful performing arts theaters in downtown Sacramento or San Francisco. There were two sets of restrooms on the main floor. Not very many stalls in one women's restroom, maybe like 6. I thought this wording on the ticket and parking permit printout was confusing: "Ample parking is located adjacent to the Harris Center facility in Lot D." I guess the Harris Center is located in Lot D because there is definitely not enough parking in Lot D alone. We and many others ended up parking in the much larger nearby Lot C. Passes purchased through campus kiosks are $2. On the map, I saw three Daily Parking Permit kiosks located on College Parkway, the loop around campus. Passes purchased online or through the box office are $3, incurring a $1 administrative fee. If you order online, remember print your parking permit to display on your dashboard. It's good that parking is easy and inexpensive.
