Although the entrance isn't accessible from street level, entrance is extremely easy. Parking on the second level of the Blue Parking Garage leads right to a walkway between the two buildings. You exit the bridge onto a small plaza with entrances to both the Z and a restaurant. Walking in we were immediately greeted and pointed out the bar, bathrooms and ticket entrance. Drinks can be taken into the theater. It was fun greeting local theater community friends, some of whom I hadn't seen in decades. Seating was comfortable with plenty of leg room and space. The view from the center section, where I was seated, was excellent. The temperature in the theater was perfect. The Zeider hosts different production companies, comedy acts, independent theatrical productions and musical acts. But I've never seen them host a main stage production of a major musical theater work such as Stephen Sondheim's "Assassins". The theater experience was perfect. It's a great space in a great location. I'd love to see them partner more often with production companies who perform musical theater works and plays that can be staged in their space.

Finally took in my first show at the Sandler Center and was very happy. Now first I have to call…read moreout some of the previous yelpers. At a quick look most of not all of the negative reviews have to with shows and not the venue. The Sandler like all venues have near nothing to do with a performance or performers. I wish people would keep that in mind. Now the venue: It was clean and modern and seemed well cared for. This includes the restrooms. Which if you go to shows this is saying something. As for the seats and auditorium: They were comfortable and wider than many other venues. The sound for my performance was real good. Staff: Very very friendly. Most seemed older and seem to handle moving the 1000+ folks in and out very well. Concessions: got pretty busy but it did move along. Maybe 1 or 2 more persons behind the counter could have helped. As for food and drink: Typical snack bar fair and wasn't too bad priced. Not nearly as high as other places. Parking: Although not necessarily the Sandler's alone. Wasn't too bad. But we got to the center early and I'm glad we did. I think a visitor could be pressed with parking if a Friday or Saturday night when the local restaurants and bars were more full. My show was on a Tuesday. So overall a solid place to take in a show. I would have no problem visiting again.

She also has a great personality, very easy to talk to. Thank you for what you ladies do!

This is modern, international, SOULFUL, spectacle of immense talent. Lighting, sets, sound engineering, and costuming were all accomplished very well. The performances were out of this world!!! The acrobatic skill level was the best I've seen in years! The two muscle/strength guys- I still don't know how you did it!?!?! Hats off to the high fliers and all those who performed way up in the air defying gravity. The show was excellent. The message of family and each generation bringing the next along and upward was touching. At the end, all the cultures and nations of the performers were highlighted. Very touching display of pride.

What I found at AIRotique Movement was more than just good exercise, but also a great community and fantastic, knowledgeable instructors. Everyone at the studio was welcoming and knowledgeable, and the gear was good quality. Though I originally just came for Aerial silks, I was encouraged to try each device they offered, and found that each one had its own rewards. This was all facilitated by the encouragement and support of the team working with me. AIRotique Movement is an excellent choice for beginners and experienced practitioners alike, and I find myself recommending the studio to anybody who is interested in these fun and engaging activities

Reasonable prices and the instructors are amazing!!!! They were engaged in helping me and friends with movements and understanding.

I'm hopping they will open one in Hampton one day but until then I'll be going to VA Beach to get my stretch on and master some technique classes. Also I'm not flexible at all but if I can do it you guys can too!! Definitely FIVE STARS for me!!!! Airotique team continue to be great that you all are and I'll see you soon! -Anjie T.

Ballet class for little people is 1/2 ballet and 1/2 tap so expect to buy both shoes. They do work with some dance stores that will give you a discount or go Amazon. Or buy from them. They are reasonably priced. Yay! They have a room or 2 for the parents to sit. You can't watch them until the last 10 minutes. AWESOME. Free time for Mommy! That part I love! My kid loves it. That get a sticker at the end. I hear them give out tons of compliments to the kids but she also keeps them in line. It's working great for us. Don't hesitate to give them a try

The costumes were wonderful. Seeing the five year olds perform California girls in their little surfer girl costumes was so adorable I almost teared up. The adult dancers were truly moving with ballet, tap, interpretive and other dance styles. I can't say that my niece learned to be a great dancer at Golden Slippers, but I can say that we all enjoyed watching her learn there.

She then wanted to try hip hop so I put her in the summer camp for hip hop and she loved it. Well when the time came to re register her for fall classes, I took too long and the classes filled up.

I love how involved the staff is with each and every student. I love that anytime I go in to pick my daughter up from class, it's nothing but positive enegery. I love this company and I dont ever see us leaving.
