Our youngest daughter wanted to follow in her older sister's footsteps and do children's theater…read more She's not quite old enough to do it alongside her and we've heard great things about Musical Mayhem Productions. Parking is readily available. It's easy to register your child online and they accept payment plans if needed. They're well organized and do a great job overall communicating with the children and parents. You'll need to download the Band app which many other theater companies utilize as well to communicate reminders. Our little one has had pleasant experiences and made new friends. It's built her confidence and she thoroughly enjoys performing. Tickets are reasonably priced and we're looking forward to seeing her in their upcoming Willy Wonka production. It's a great way for children in the Elk Grove area to participate in children's theater. Performances are currently held downtown, but everything is well spelled out beforehand. They're also great at answering questions in a timely manner. They offer a variety of shows, so don't fret if the first one you see isn't up your child's alley.

Allie (dance owner) and all the teachers love all the students, they have had to have taught the big girls to be kind to the little girls because all of the bigger students are so amazing with the Littles.

Hours are convenient, staff is amazing, and the dance owner is always there if you ever need to speak with her. She's not an absentee owner. Every time I go to drop my daughter for her class , she's either teaching, or just pulling up. I will always tell people to go here when they ask where my daughter dances.

Rize All: Where quiet kids dance!…read more We came in with our nervous, quiet kid who surprised us when he decided to join a hip hop class. Ms. Mona and Julia welcomed him with positivity and kindness, helping him feel comfortable in minutes. As soon as class started, he was grooving! As performance day arrived I feared he would lose confidence but he jumped on stage with a HUGE smile and pride! Rize All isn't just about dance--it's about confidence and pure joy. P.S. If you're on the fence--do it. What have you got to lose?

Our youngest daughter is four and absolutely loves to dance. She went with a friend to an…read moreintroductory class at another studio and loved it. Parking is typically pretty easy to find in the large shopping center they're in. We signed her up for their once a week introduction to dance class. She loved her classmates and instructor and wanted to do their recital in June. The class provided a lot of valuable life lessons. She learned and had several things reiterated: confidence, human kindness, paying attention, respect, responsibility, timeliness, and trying your hardest. Their waiting room is exceptionally small, and they prefer you drop off and pick up your child after class. Unfortunately, that's not realistic for her due to some separation anxiety issues, but we'll continue working on it. Starbucks and Walgreens are both within walking distance for those who are able to drop off their child or children. They sell a variety of ballet and dance apparel and shoes. The recital costumes were reasonably priced and absolutely gorgeous. Tickets were also reasonably priced, and the show was well planned and executed. Our daughter's dance partner bailed on her before the second show, and her instructor Mona helped instill the confidence in her to perform a solo rendition that she did a fantastic job with. She's excited to begin class again in August after soccer is over and to perform again in December's recital.

My classmates are my best friends and after a long day of work and responsibilities it's nice to take a break from life and be creative in dance. For people wanting to get back into dance after a long break or wanting to start something new then Encore! is the place. You will feel welcome and like you're part of the family. We all build each other up because at the end of the day we are a team of strong dancers developing lifelong connections.

The show was amazing and had a lineup of 8 different songs and dances (hula and Tahitian).

Vikram is very professional, and at the same time, super easygoing, flexible, adaptable to changes, and makes the effort to get to know you, your vision for the performance, and really delivers. Never once did I feel like it was hard to get a hold of him or that he was annoyed by tweaks to the plan day of. Since we love magic, and my husband is a skeptic and loves sleight of hand, I opted for the mixed package with a bit of sleight of hand and mentalism as well. It was the perfect show for a room full of adults and his energy and tricks were mind blowing. He kept us entertained the entire hour, and even shared some new tricks that he had been working on. We are still trying to figure out how he was able to fool us all - THAT CLOSE. Haha, needless to say, my husband has claimed this, his BEST birthday surprise yet. We look forward to hiring Vikram again for future family/corporate events and highly recommend him!

My daughter is interested in singing and acting so we checked out Kim Cyrus with Sacramento…read morePerforming Arts on Tuesday. Kim's little homey cottage is located right next to the Sierra 2 Center in East Sacramento and there is street parking available. The class for my daughter's age group is on Tuesdays from 5-7pm with 1 hour being for singing/voice lessons and the other 1 hour being for dance lessons. There are 4 classes a month essentially for under $200. Kim was very professional and great with the kids! It was fun to see new and returning students in her class and to see who was comfortable and who was still coming out of their shell. My daughter had a great time at the trail class, but she currently does another activity on Tuesdays so the class for her age group isn't a good fit for us right now, but we hope to come back and join Kim's class in the future. Give them a call or visit if you or your kids are interested in Performing Arts - Kim has been around for 30+ years and you can tell how much she loves what she does!
