Short Version Talent +…read moreSeating - Originality - Productions - Environment - Although they have some phenomenal actors, talent only goes so far. The seating is lacking, uncomfortable, and has no real accomodations for the handicapable. Their productions are often ripoff of old 80s films with unclever title and character name changes. Music is canned, audio is hit or miss, lighting leaves a lot to be desired, badly timed changes and intermissions, overall feels almost High School Drama Quality. Not worth admission fees. The environment... It smells reminiscent of old sweaty gym socks, the building design is confusing and inconvenient, the seating area looks almost like it was once a pool or gym or something, the stage is tiny, it feels as if everything about this place is a hand me down after thought that reaks of B.O. As a patron of the arts and retired performer/director, I love supporting local theatre, thankfully there are other options in this town. Sorry the review is negative, I hate writing bad reviews. Hopefully you can use this as constructive criticism and work on it. I always give multiple chances and hopefully I can edit this in the future as a 5 star.

3 generations started with Elsa Zoll, ballerina with incredible tenacity. Her life with dance began…read morein a Japanese concentration camp. The teacher was a dancer that taught out of a wheel chair. Elsa immediately loved ballet. Her life became dance. Her mother was a brilliant musician and passed her craft onto her daughter. Everything they endeavored, they spent countless hours and extreme dedication to reach perfection. Elsa also loves people. She went out in weaverville ca and rounded up interested students and started her school using gymnasiums and open buildings to bring students together. She taught ballet and became a popular feature in weaverville. She brought her industrious nature and family of six to Redding to open her first school. She was always training and attending master classes all over the state to bring the best to her students. I was one of her students and her daughters good friend. She impressed me from a young age at her ability to teach well and to pass the gift to her children. Her children are some of the most industrious folk I know. The love of dance and teaching dance in her family was evident and they all learned tap and jazz and could choreograph big groups and small groups and solos. The passion coming from the family drove them to be "the place to go."I took my babies to mommy and me classes and from there, they grew up in that studio. My youngest daughter won countless competitions and at 38 years old has a lucrative business in dance and choreography. She's worked for big named people and is well known in the business. She's passed along her dance education to many others that are very successful. She has to attribute success to Yvonne, Elsa and the many quality people they vetted and hired to teach in their studio. Stop by or phone to meet Yvonna, you will not meet a harder working, unbiased owner. She has your children's future in her heart. She desires success for all of her students. There is no political BS in her studio, she helps all to reach their goals!

Her dance classes are really enjoyable, precise, and professional. She has a ton of experience and knowledge in the dance field and she is so generous and kindhearted to teach those who want to learn how to dance! She will make the most intricate of dances one of the easiest for you to be able to learn ... with hard work, of course! She's the whole JACKPOT! Directors like Ms. Woody are extremely hard to find! She's truly one of a kind. I highly recommend taking ANY of her classes! The dances will be fun and it's always a work out! Looking for a dance instructor??? You just found the perfect one in the 530!!!
