As patrons: they have amazing shows with top notch quality (for a community theatre type). Definitely great production value. Music orchestra is excellent, and performers work really hard. They also employ all local members of the community. As performers: very supportive environment, you learn tons, and make great friends. Too bad they only do one show a year (in the summer).

You look around and find what you want to paint, pick and choose your colors, brushes and water bowls to clean your brushes. Find a comfortable spot to start and then do it.

What an incredible dance studio and treat to have right here in San Carlos…read more All three of my kids have been attending Melodic remedy in San Carlos.

Karen Kirk is the sweetest teacher. She is patient and kind and makes the class so fun for the girls. My daughter started ballet here this year and it has been so nostalgic for me to watch her prance around the room and learn technique at the same studio I did. I highly recommend this studio.

16+ years of my life was dedicated here…read more I started dancing when I was... how old? gosh I dont even remember! Ballet was definitely a large part of my life. Even now, three years from retiring, I want to go back. Ballet gave me life, and it gave me something to look back upon, to say- "I accomplished this". Its fantastic exericse even if it looks so simple-- it really isn't. Karen is an awesome teacher. She's not any of those stereotypical ballet teachers- strict and all. She makes dancing fun and enjoyable for everyone of all ages. For the younger classes, older dancers demonstrate so the little ones can follow along. Older classes get to pull out the middle barre to see yourself better (in the mirror). Karen isn't too strict either, so she's not going to be one of those instructors you evny. In the summertime, Karen teaches a Variations class, where you can learn dances from Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, etc. In the wintertime, the Sugar Plum Fairy comes out to dance for the young ones, and signs their shoe! Karen also has several adult classes in the morning! Many dancers have tried various ballet schools around the area, and they find Karen's San Carlos School of Ballet to be one of the most friendly ballet schools in the Bay. Not to mention, Brooklyn Ballet School comes to recruit students every year for a summer ballet program. Great experience!

Came here for a trial dance class for our 4 year old. It was a pre-ballet tap class…read more First off, email communication is spotty. We've been trying to do a trial class for a few months and they never responded to our inquiries. Also, their schedule isn't listed online, which makes it difficult to know what is available. Parking: Pretty challenging since it's right next to a lot of auto shops and most of the nearby street parking is taken. Check-in was a little chaotic. It was unclear whom to check-in with and what we needed to do to prepare. They dropped off some tap and ballet shoes, but no sizes weren't listed and many didn't come in a full pair. It was also unclear whether we needed one or both pairs. The class itself was cute with an initial 20min of ballet then 20min of tap and 5min of choreography. By the choreography, I would say only about 10% of the class was paying attention lol. Overall, given the high cost of classes and inconsistent communication, I'm hesitant to invest in the classes should we ever need to cancel or reschedule.

At the other places I've been (not naming names, as I'm sure they're fine at what they specialize in), the instructors will show you how to do a move and then shrug if you can't do it. Here, they'll show adjustments or a previous progression and help you figure out how to do a move with patience and encouragement, and they won't leave you adrift feeling like you can't do something and not know why. I can't recommend Ascend highly enough!
