My most recent play was Misery and all I can say is WOW! they did an amazing job working with a small set to create a story that delivered a fantastic performance. It is a small theater but there are no bad seat in the house. They also have special offers for tickets that can make the experience more affordable. The variety of plays include many multicultural plays or including multicultural cast members. I applaud their commitment to diversity. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. Parking can be street parking or you can park at the church lot next door during performance nights.

I signed her up for princess dance camp and when we got there I realized it wasn't handicap accessible so I couldn't bring my mom in a wheelchair up. I also had my 5 month old with me. It was extremely hot in the waiting area and I didn't feel comfortable leaving my child with the student teachers alone because then there would have been no adult. I left and brought my mom and baby to my mom in-law because it was too hot for him and my mom was not able to come up. My daughter was the only one in a princess dress and the youngest student and with that she felt very singled out. I decided with these reasons if my daughter is refusing to go back I won't force her. We also live 40 minutes away. I attached all the payments they made me make. Around $250.00 She's only attended one class. I was made to pay $45 for her to have a spot in the fall dance class, 15$ as a holding fee And $183 for her princess camp The owner refuses to refund me anything instead refund my account of $163 that can only be used at the dance studio that I pulled her out of. I find this to be extremely greedy and really really really mean as her last words to me where "I hope your daughter finds a home dance studio" If you cared about my daughter dancing or cared about dance at all... you would do what is right.

DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!!! I enrolled my son in the Special need to dance class and it couldn't…read morehave gone any more horribly!! It was advertised that the teacher is a BCBA and with a quick license check, i discovered that the teacher is NOT A BCBA. She is at best, an occupational therapist. So many times i came to get my son from class, and a different person was teaching the class. It was advertised that your child will benefit in such areas as posture, strength, coordination, concentration, confidence, spatial awareness and socialization. I can assure you none of that happened. With special needs children, they need consistency and this school isn't the place. The "teacher" made a false report to DCF and the school has refused to refund me for the rest of his classes citing their "policy". I sent emails to both the teacher and the head of the dance school and every email was ignored. Yesterday when i had to go in to speak to the owner, she literally told me she got my emails and chose to not respond. She also forgets who she meets. A few weeks ago, she came up to me introducing herself to which i had to tell her "you met me the week I enrolled my son" she turned beet red in embarassment. The week that they made a false claim to DCF, I was in disney world with my son, and i spent thousands on a vacation to have it practically ruined by these false calls by the dance studio. I had to get on the phone to DCF instead of enjoying a family vacation. I'm a single mom and I save all year long to be able to take my son on this vacation and it wasn't right or fair to have our vacation ruined by the false reports that CENTER FOR PERFORMING ARTS made. I was threatened by DCF over this. All I wanted was my money back and michelle refused to give it to me. Apparently her school must be hurting for money if she cant give me back my $30. Had they not called and placed a false report, my son would still be attending their school, even with the other issue. She also has her husband and family write reviews of her dance school which is actually forbidden. Any review you see with the ast name mitchinson is family, and of course your family would write you a good review no matter how disorganized your school is. This school is very disorganized. constant children running about, food trash all over the place and other clothing items just scattered about. For the winter performance we were told that the class would be performing in the theater, the lady at the desk told me the class would be coming down to the theater. 715 came and went, and then it was 725 and still no performance. My parents, my sons dad and myself were sitting and waiting because we were told that was where they would be performing. I went upstairs only to find out the class already performed. My parents cannot do stairs well at all and there is no elevator to go upstairs. they don't have any disablity access. If you can't climb stairs then it sucks to be you. Do not send your children here!!! There are much better dance studios out here!!

I started working with Josie about 18 months ago. My journey with her has been life changing. When…read moreI first saw Josie I was a mess of stress, general anxiety, and chronic lower back pain. She has helped me understand in a visceral way how they are all connected by underlying trauma, and has worked with me directly and given me tools to process it on my own. I still have work to do, but now my back pain is gone, I am a more relaxed and open person, and I feel like I'm able to express more of myself every day. My work, personal relationships, and overall quality of life have all improved dramatically. Josie uses a breadth of modalities depending on the focus of our time together. She is deeply knowledgeable about the science and research behind each of her approaches, and can explain how each approach fits with the rest of the treatment. Josie brings a high degree of integrity to her work, and she is compassionate and warm. She brings humor, honesty, and joy to her work. I found it easy to trust her and to let myself be vulnerable with her. I can't recommend Josie enough as a healer.
