I wanted to enroll my daughter in a dance class because she always dances & sings to Disney songs…read moreI looked up dance classes nearby but somehow I came across this one & ironically they have a princess academy where they learn to tumble & dance to Disney songs as well ! She started last year perhaps around august & did her first recital in January . The staff is super friendly ! Ms Parker is an absolute doll the way she teaches the children especially my daughter who is very shy & not as experienced ! My daughter loves every class & it's been an amazing experience for her !

If I could give zero stars, I would.This was hands down one of the most unprofessional…read moreorganizations I've ever had the misfortune of working with. Two months into their program--after a cast list had already been posted--they attempted to collect additional payments from already-enrolled families, despite there being no prior contract or communication outlining these supposed fees. They also demanded that students come up with their own costumes, and even threatened to pull kids from the production if payments weren't made. Anyone with even basic theater experience knows that threatening to remove children from a show two months into rehearsals is outrageous and unacceptable. Everything--fees, responsibilities, schedules--should be communicated clearly in writing upfront, not sprung on families halfway through. They added extra rehearsals last minute and tried to charge for those too. After enough parents complained, they finally took over the costume responsibilities. But again, none of these requirements were mentioned at sign-up. While we're incredibly grateful for the teacher (who was absolutely wonderful), the owner and office staff were completely disorganized, unprofessional, and frankly, rude.Mothers were berated for wanting to sit in on their young children (ages 6+ and up), being mic'd under their clothing and were screamed at for wanting to monitor that because it was "closed rehearsals" It gets worse. After deciding we'd never return due to the awful experience, we noticed a charge for another session we never signed up for. When we kindly reached out to have it removed, we were told that "Musical Theater" was now considered a year-round commitment, even though: * That was never communicated. * Our child hadn't attended in months. Did they call to check on our child's absence? Nope.They just charged us. In this economy. Don't be fooled by their polished social media. Behind the scenes, it's just smoke and mirrors. On one performance day, they called the cast for a 3:30 arrival time--and no adult staff showed up until 5:15.Fourteen children were left under the supervision of just two volunteer moms, and the office admitted they "forgot to call" the rest of us to let us know that no one would be in attendance, nor that they needed help. Just kids expected to be left alone. Left to run their own warmups and choreography. So not only are they charging families absurd fees without consent, but they are also putting children's safety at risk while being paid to not even show up. It reeks of: "I want to run a children's theater company but have zero idea how one is supposed to be run--and I'm counting on you not knowing either." Spoiler alert: I was raised in one of the top youth theaters in the country. This ain't it. Just chaos.Chaos, dishonesty, and a complete disregard for families. PATRONS BEWARE.

I will start by saying, I've attended shows at this venue a number of times and have highly enjoyed…read moremyself. A few weeks ago I went to a show that I was very excited about since last year. I spent money on the good seats up front (in this economy it was definitely a thought out purchase). My excited was out the door a few minutes in. They say explicitly at the start of each show that there are no phones allowed. Like I mentioned earlier, I've been to shows here before and have witness staff be quick to shut down anyone trying to take a picture or video. I really liked that about this venue because it allows for the audience to enjoy the show without any distractions. That was not the case this time around. Not long after the beginning of the show, phones started coming out. I though, "for sure someone will come tell them something soon". Spoiler: No one ever did, not once, the whole show. Other parties caught on that they would not be asked to stop so they joined in. I had 6 different phones going up and down in front of me the whole show. The most upsetting part for me was that staff did come into the area when guiding late comers to their seats. They saw the phones out and did nothing about it. I was so bummed by the end of the show to say the least. Now that I know the phone rule is no longer enforced I don't think I'll be back. I really liked that I could go to the Soraya and collectively experience a show in the moment without a sea of phones ruining the experience. However, that does not seem to be the case anymore.

Productions here are created by the Department of Theatre and they put on some very high quality shows! I've seen musicals, comedies, and dramas here - there are about four shows per year happening in this space (not including special events like a musical theatre workshop final performance). The theatre is a black box space and is reconfigurable. At the time of this review it was set up as a small proscenium-style theatre with audience seating on just one side but I've also seen it used as a thrust space - with audience seating on three sides. Once I saw a show there where the seating was modified to be "in the round." Since September of 2013 shows in the space have included Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, The Seagull, Servant of Two Masters, Electricidad, Bat Boy: The Musical, Learned Ladies, and two Harold Pinter one-acts. Seating is provided for roughly 130 guests and this is a new, state-of-the-art space that is exciting to visit. I'd highly recommend a night out at the theatre here - tickets are about $20 or less for all Department of Theatre shows. Students, staff, and faculty get discounts!
