So this is our 2nd attempt at finding a good dance school for our 3 year old, and it was a huge…read moresuccess! We enrolled our daughter in summer classes (for the month of July), just in case things didn't work out like the last one. Assuming the rest of the classes go as smoothly as this, then we may be life-ers! The tricky part was finding the entrance...I drove northbound on Del Prado, and made a left on Viscaya, pulling into the Jimmy John's parking lot (since it's in the same building). I found out, there IS an entrance back there (the one that says "welcome" on the door, but isn't that clearly marked. We drove out of that parking lot, and into the medical lot next door, and parked there, just walking across the 5'of grass to the main entrance, which is off of SE 8th. Alright! Now that we found the main entrance, we walk in and are greeted just as we are opening the door! Andrew and Carla(?) Ask how were doing, have we been there, what's her name, is she excited, etc. He gave me a quick briefing of the place and told me where my daughters class would be. There seemed to be just as many new faces as veterans. It was a comfortable setting. There is basically a big L shaped hallway, with 4 rooms for the classes. They have two large TVs so that parents can watch the class from the hallway. It was nice to still be able to watch her first class, and see that she's comfortable with a bit of independence. She had one instructor, Miss Amy, and two assistants. The half hour class flew by quickly, and when they walked out of the room, my daughters face was just beaming with glee. She talked about her class and her "teacher" the whole drive home, and told her dad and brother all about it when we got home :). So, thank you, Maranatha, for a welcoming feeling and a comfortable atmosphere. It has to be because it is a faith-based organization :).

After asking for payment even before the lesson, i reluctantly agreed. She I orally changed my…read moreclass from the group tango to an introductory lesson so i had to pay twice. She put in my card number wrong and had to call me back for me to say it again. Quite an ordeal before arriving. Lesson was ok but after the lesson we were pressured to buy a package. We were told that if we leave the studio that we wouldn't get the ten percent discount so we should buy it immediately. Thousands of dollars upfront is a big deal. So we asked if we could have some privacy and discuss it. This was my fiancé and myself as we were trying to practice a dance for our wedding. Then not even 60 seconds later Marjorie comes over and starts asking us questions and again we stated we just needed a little privacy in time to think about it. We decided not to move forward since we felt very pressured. The next day I receive a phone call again from Marjorie stating that the owner saw dancing and he wanted to give us a free lesson. I did not respond. The next day she texts me. And then I had to tell her to stop contacting me. I do not appreciate the high sales pressure. It seems like they're just all about the money.

Aside from their parking, which is rather far to walk if you have a difficult time, and some not so…read moregreat sightlines depending where you are seated, I enjoyed this venue a lot! The staff here was very friendly once it came to the inside workers. The staff working security looked like they didn't want to be here whatsoever. It was easy finding where I was sitting for the evening because there were many signs and ushers to help point the way. The box that I was staying in was amazing, only consisting of about six people. The three in the front were a little lower so I didn't have any of my view blocked. I noticed if you are higher up in regular seats, you may need to shift around the people in front of where you are sitting. The theater had a great sound system and the place was very clean and up to date. Prices for food and drink was crazy, going from a start of $15 and up from there for a glass of wine or mixed drink. I felt safe the entire time I was here from the security they had, including police.

A step above any of the local school productions I have seen (and I have seen many)! For a non-profit community theater with a limited budget, these plays are really awesome!! It is so neat to see the talent and passion for theater in our local youth, and it's obvious they are given top-notch acting and singing training at CFABS to develop their talents! Craig Price does an amazing job directing these plays and making it a fun and positive atmosphere for all the youth involved! I've also attended a couple of the "Improv Tonight!" shows the first Saturday of every month, and have enjoyed these a lot as well! If you're looking for some fun, reasonably priced entertainment which showcases some very talented local people volunteering their time because they love theater and enjoy entertaining you, you WON'T be disappointed!!
