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!

It felt very Exclusive And did not promote positive self image or emotional well being or expression for a child. Instead it reminded me of the bad stereotypes ppl experience in Cheer with exclusivity, shaming, and mean- girl behavior and overzealous cheer moms. For one, instead of showing up as is to have fun and learn there is a mandatory dress code using their branded outfit/uniform (can't buy tights from a store). Which everything is expensive. Then they sell other items like off brand crocks for $86!, branded dance bags ect. Which is outrageous and makes kids without feel like the outsider. The coaches were mean (in my and my child's opinion), strict, and did not teach any new skills or acrobatic technique. They focused on a single dance routine to showcase at end of year. They made demands instead of making your child feel warm, welcome and congratulations for making good efforts in class. Made multiple requests for my daughter to clean her feet in class !? She's 8 and went to class in uniform right after school - class started at 5:30. They did not teach the standard 8 count to structure their dance. Kids were frantically looking to the teacher every practice for them to yell out demands of placement and moves to the kids instead of teaching how to listen to que or counts from the music. The amount of makeup they require for Pictures and rehearsal was gross. Children should not feel like beauty and grand presentation requires make up and fake curles. A tone of makeup was mandatory. Picture day ($$) and the end of session recital were not scheduled during regular practice session. Parents had to pay $22 for a ticket to see their kid. Recital week was multiple 4pm-8pm rehearsals. How they made time for dinner IDk. We weren't able to participate in the recital which was supper unfortunate- they completely ignored me when I asked if I could get the recital outfit we paid for to take home, or receive a full or partial refund -which was very Bizarre (yes I read the contract: despite it being in the contract that it was automatically paid for up front as a separate purchase) . All notices and communication was required through a separate app, which wasn't supper easy to navigate or effective when you had specific questions. They were not helpful or provided detailed information. It was like you had be be apart of some exclusive secret club if you wanted to know all the details of pic day, parade, recital, what to bring, uniform requirements. Very difficult to get clear and direct information. Lastly, you Can't wait or watch your kid inside the studio for practice. All the other parents I've spoken to prefer CALIFORNIA DANCE COMPANY in Anderson CA. It's worth the drive if you can do it!

If you are looking for the BEST private fitness trainer, look no further--Andrew at the YMCA is…read moreabsolutely outstanding. My son had just three months to prepare for a fitness exam that required at least 15 pull-ups. At first, both my son and I were nervous and stressed about whether he could make it. But thanks to Andrew's exceptional training, calm personality, and systematic approach, my son not only reached his goal but confidently hit exactly 15 pull-ups on the day of the test. Andrew is more than just a trainer--he's a mentor who knows how to bring out the best in his clients while easing their worries. His combination of kindness, professionalism, and skill is unmatched. We recommend him with complete confidence. Without question, Andrew is the BEST trainer we have ever worked with.

Booking & the party itself was seem-less, all the kids had a great time and few parents asked for details about booking afterwards. The gym is very clean plus the guys who run the party and demo'ed all the obstacles were great with all the kids. 4 of the 20 kids who attended have autism, we were expecting to have to explain or encourage patience (as we do with many other places) but we didn't even need to disclose any differences! The guys were naturally patient, so kind and encouraging with ALL the kids-they naturally treated all the kids with grace and encouraged them all to do the obstacles, and offered helping hands when needed, like a boost up for ropes out of reach. Highly recommend and grateful for such a great business in town.

The last two ladies I spoke with (Courtney) when cancelling and (Aubrey) who called today are get it done type of ladies.

Been meaning to write this review for awhile…read more This place is awful. We signed our seven year old up for ukulele lessons and he was so excited! We got a teacher that honestly just sucked. We had signed up and prepaid for thirty minute lessons once a week. Not only was he flakey, but when he didn't postpone our lessons, he was mostly late to them. He didn't make up the time at the end of the lesson, but often also cut the lesson short. If it wasn't one or the other, it was both. He also consistently came unprepared. Spent a large portion of the lesson printing out sheet music. Why hadn't he done that previously? I couldn't tell you. Then he would chat with our son asking HIM to choose the music. Our son just wanted to learn, he didn't care what they played. And even when he did select something, the teacher would then spend the remainder of their time attempting to search for and transcribe the music. We attempted to reach out to the owner several times. Our names and number were taken each time, usually without a call back. When we did get calls back, it was from the manager or from a woman who could have also been a manager, both of whom were very rude. When I finally spoke to the owner, he seemed to want to be proactive about it. Offered to compensate us for several lessons that we either never received or that were only given partially due to tardiness or incompetence. He also switched us to a different teacher. Apparently we weren't the only ones with complaints about the other guy, so they fired him. The new teacher, Alex, is probably the only person who provided a positive experience for us at this place. I wish he'd just do lessons on his own as we would never recommend anyone go through this place. In the end, we never saw a penny of a refund. No lessons up ended up being credited as promised. And worst of all, they tried to claim we owed them money. For what, you ask? Lessons that were never given while they claimed to be "working all of this out". If I could give this place zero stars, I would. You're better off learning an instrument from your family friend or your dad with mediocre guitar skills from his high school garage band days than you would be at this place.
