I was looking for a studio for my daughter to dance but with the whole COVID and shutdown, it was a…read morebit difficult. We weren't comfortable going in the studio just yet, but we still wanted her to get that training in. Luckily I found CSLV and was instantly drawn to them because: 1. They offered zoom classes, no pressure to go in studio 2. Their fees were so affordable - SO AFFORDABLE The hiphop class that she took via zoom was perfect. She enjoyed it so much! I loved how the instructor always checked in with those on zoom vs just focusing on those in class. Once we were ready to go back in studio, we were welcomed with open arms. I can see that baby girl has improved tremendously in her dancing skills. She is more aware of her counts which is a huge. She's been dancing Ori Tahiti since she was 3 and she usually rushes thru the choreo. But now she takes her time and is a lot more aware of her counts and moves. Huge thank you to her instructors at CSLV for helping her with that and just helping her be a better well rounded dancer. In the short amount of time we've been with them, baby girl has already done a video shoot, they're working on their next video shoot now, and hopefully will be performing live the end of the year (assuming things start opening up). That is a lot more than what she did at her previous dance studio and she was dancing there for almost the same amount of time. So if you are looking for a studio to get your kids to dance with, I highly recommend Culture Shock. The instructors are great and always willing to accommodate, if they can make it work. They're a non profit organization, so they're not out here trying to get all your money. They are definitely working for the kids and I love that. I mean, I live all the way in the northwest part of town and we drive down to them weekly. Love that we're part of the CS family!

Her scheduling was flexible and she was able to see us both in Foster City and Mountain View.

This musical ran for 23 performances before going on hiatus to return in September according to…read morepress releases. I waited for a while before getting my ticket because I wanted the show to make any changes during/after the preview period. Then I read that the show would be closing on 17 June and ostensibly reopening in September. I know that the Strip is littered with shows that went on hiatus never to return. Given that the show was closing, I quickly bought a ticket for Tuesday, 12 June and I went again last night--closing night--on a comp ticket. Seeing the show twice gave me the chance to mull over my initial thoughts and to look for things I may have missed the first time. The cast is outstanding! Ruby Lewis, Travis Cloer, and Randal Keith are vocally superb! Frank Lawson, Charlie--Marilyn Monroe's driver--was also solid voice in the production. There are some problems with the show that I perceive. While the company has excellent dancers, there are times that they're dancing that it just doesn't make sense like during an argument between Monroe and Darryl Zanuck. This after Zanuck yelled at her to get out of his office. Instead, she stays, they sing, the dancers dance, and the scene continues when it should have ended. I liked the counterpoint offered by Norma Jean and Monroe but I can see how some thought this was awkward or just didn't understand. Last, the biggest change I'd make is the ending. It's a bit much to have the death scene followed quickly by a pert Monroe singing "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend." I know this is done to bring the cast out for their curtain call but I think it would have been better simply to end the show, wait a few moments for the quick change of clothes for Lewis, bring the dancers out from the wings for their curtain call, and then bring out the principals. At that time, Lewis could break into her "Diamonds" song and it would be more sensible than what is done now. One last mention about the small band/orchestra (does one string player make an orchestra?). They are excellent. Now let's dump some of the less successful songs and modify the story a bit, cut down on the yelling, and reopen in September and turn this into a hit! I can only hope!

I didn't love it…read more The orchestra and musical talent were absolutely amazing. There is definitely a shining star in Brittney Bertier (Norma Jeane), Ruby Lewis (Marilyn Monroe), and my personal favorite Frank Lawson (Charlie). My hat off to all performers for an incredible performance. The show in itself as a story line - not so great. There were two numbers that felt quite out of place including Charlie's "I Just Wanna Drive" and Ella's jazz number. Although both were great to witness, due to the talent in both individuals, it was hard to see the importance of how it related to Marilyn's life on a greater level. Lighting seemed to be a difficulty as well. It was very minimal compared to other Vegas shows - even at the Paris. There were also a few times where the lighting was out of place and not shining on the performer. The stage performance operations were a little lackluster, in my opinion. Did I learn a lot about Marilyn's perceived life? I sure did. And I have a newfound appreciation for the icon that she is and the difficulties that she faced as an individual. However, I feel that the show could have done more in providing the emotion behind the story. On a side note: the seating in the theater was pretty uncomfortable and made it hard to sit still for a long period of time. At the end of the day, I am glad I had the opportunity to experience the musical while I could; but I would say that I would have to pass on the chance to see it again.

What could be better than some live blues music at the Springs Preserve? How about throwing in…read more30-some breweries for samples? When we first entered The Springs, we were provided with a small tasting glass (basically a big shot glass) and a map detailing where the different breweries were located on the grounds. We also got a little spray bottle of Evian water to cool us off while we were walking around. Then it was off to the tents! The breweries were spread out and it was nice to casually walk around The Springs while grabbing a sample here and there to try. There were even a couple of ciders and poor Lee's Discount Liquor was there with some wine that no one was interested in. There were a few areas serving food, but I didn't get a good look at what was available. I saw some hot dogs, soft pretzels, and a food truck...Honestly, I was too busy looking for Hefeweizen to pay attention to the food. There were several booths around The Springs to purchase bottles of water. Everyone workings was super friendly, even after being in the hot sun for four hours. Despite the fact that my husband and I were only able to attend for the last hour, we still managed to get in a lot of samples and hang out in the lawn and listen to Ronnie Baker Brooks (who was awesome, by the way). The entrance fee is definitely worth the price if you are here the entire afternoon. One of my complaints is that it was H-O-T. I know they can't control the weather, but I really think the festival would be better off a month prior or sometime in the fall. Or, at the very least, start it a couple hours later. I can't imagine how uncomfortable I would have been if we had gone right when it opened at 4 and stayed the entire time. The other complaint is that there were so many drunk people and I really worried about everyone's safety driving home. Not really sure how they could fix this problem, but it seems like there should be something set up to prevent drunk attendees from getting in a car. I saw one police car in the Meadows Mall parking lot (overflow parking), which I guess is better than nothing. Overall, we had a great time hanging out with some friends and enjoying the beer and music. I will definitely be back again next year.
