We love, love, love Stagelight for so many different reasons. My daughter started Musical Theater…read moreSinging and Dance about 1.5 years ago when she was 4.5 and has really stuck with it; and this studio is magnificent. 1. Ms. Lindsey is THE best. She teaches the dance portion and has so much energy, enthusiasm, silliness - she makes dancing technique so accessible to this age, which quite honestly is a bit more harder to captivate since their attention is all over the place. 2. The price/schedules is so amazing. It fits what we need and there are so many class options - including acting, dancing, singing. There's just a lot more than a dance studio..so if my daughter were interested in improv/acting later, then she can easily switch to that or use a makeup token to check it out. 3. The productions and how they showcase their students on stage is genuinely such a huge effort and I'm amazed at how they can do this for hundreds of students across 3 shows - we love it and my daughter has a blast on the big stage, with the stage makeup and showing off their skills. And we also love how the costumes are stage/age appropriate - which honestly is something I've noticed in other dance companies I don't love. Cannot say enough great things about Stagelight. We love it and you will, too!

The "studios" are very crammed. They tried to put too many kids in one session with only 1…read moreinstructor. This arrangement may work for older kids who are able to listen and pay attention but definitely not good for the 4-6yo groups. Most of the kids were all over the place, talking, playing, distracting others and it was very hard for the instructor to control so many little ones and still try to teach. I don't recommend for very young children.

Dance West is a great place to learn ballet as an adult…read more Most ballet studios are not adult friendly. Most ballet studios only reward tweens and early teens who have small bones, long legs, flexibility, nicely arched feet, small heads, tapering fingers, and parents that can pay for them to come 1-2 times a day, 6 days a week. Not so at Dance West. Mike & Monique, the owners, are serious about ballet and yet they temper it with the understanding that only 1% of their tweens and teens wants to be a professional dancer and that all of their adult dancers dance because they love it. They make ballet fun and hire teachers for tap, jazz, and hip hop that keep that attitude of fun. This is the least snooty dance studio I've been to, and I've been to A LOT of dance studios. Back when it was in Seal Beach, the class schedule & studio brochure used to note that eating disorders were not tolerated. Only by eating a healthy diet and healthy meals would dancers become strong enough to meet the demands of dance, it said. The connected company, Metropolitan Ballet Company, has won choreographic and performance awards in Europe on several occasions.

There are many options from taking a single class, dance team, even classes for adults. The owners take a lot of pride in their studio and are involved with the local community. Their prices are affordable and some of the best around for quality instruction. I would definitely recommend this studio.

Great spot for Indoor soccer, RC car track and a golf driving range. Local and for the most part…read morenot too crowded. Parking can be an issue but across from Orange Mall so you could park there and cross street. Came for a bit and had lots of fun in the indoor soccer area. Picnic tables galore and plenty of shade. There is a little shop and restrooms. Tons of fun. The RV cars were a pleasant surprise. Love it! Can't wait to come back for the driving range. Great deal on a bucket of balls. Consider a soccer birthday party!

It also has race tracks for RC cars on the south side of the smaller field. To the south west, there are tennis courts that I use to practice at when I was a kid and to the west of that is a driving range that I'm going to check out now that I'm into golf. The Bad: They're pretty strict on the time slots. Abuela Karen will make sure of you're off on time. As a man who is a timely human, I get it, but there's nice ways of going about life. The Ugly: Not run down, but heavily used. Could use some upgrades, but over all great place for activities.

We also just had my daughter's birthday party here and everyone loved it! We did the nova package and it came with a half hour activity and a half hour of robotics lab just for our party. I'm not sure if they have other activities but our kids got to make and launch paper rockets. The staff are super friendly throughout the whole process from booking to even helping clean up a little when we were running behind as they were closing. Party packages are also very affordable!

The Long Beach Arena is super pretty inside and out. It is painted so nicely outside. The sound…read moresystem there is pretty good and the place is not so huge you can't see. It is big enough for almost any event. Parking is for a fee in the large lot and then there is a tad of a walk. It can get easy to get turned around since it is next to the Convention Center and Google Maps is not much help, but you will find it or follow the crowd. They do have some security there where you can ask where the closest place to park is. The staff is great and will help get you to your seat. The concession food is not great and it is pricey. We eat ahead of time. It is well maintained and the seats are comfortable with cupholders. They have a lot of events throughout the year. So check their website and you will find fun.

Honestly, there was a group of people and we were all strangers looking for your entrance to the event. When inside you cannot hear anything, the entertainers sounded muffled.

The Curtis Theater has an impressive schedule of plays and musical performing acts. You may want to check their website and purchase a subscription or buy an individual ticket to their shows. On this occasion, I was invited to the performance of the RANDOM 1s (follow them on Instagram), who played a medley of Classic Rock songs from the 60s and 70s. Not just any popular song, but the music from bands who made a blockbuster hit, but did not continue with more hits or an album. These are referred to as the "One Hit Wonders." Special Guest this evening is radio personality, Shotgun Tom Kelly. He published a book and was the Emcee for the evening. A book signing event was held in the lobby before and after the show. His book is entitled "All I Wanna do is Play the Hits."
