The caliber of time, talent and dedication that it has taken to create this detailed glimpse into the past is something to be admired, indeed. I remember when Baker Street West was just the upstairs to a really cool bookstore. Now it has been transformed completely. The bar doesn't serve alcohol yet, but there are soft drinks and pastries to enjoy. There is a tea shoppe, an apothecary and of course, Mr. Sherlock Holmes' personal study (complete with bear skin rug). It's so fun just to walk around the rooms and take it all in. If you're a fan of Sherlock Holmes, this is your new favorite place.

I have been bringing my daughter here for 12 years. That says a lot about a place. The atmosphere…read moreis warm and inviting, with that I'm talking about the people. Would we have continued coming here for 12 years if it wasn't so? During that time I've started dancing too. My sons even dance once in a while. This halau is like family and you are treated that way the moment you walk through the door. It has been great seeing my kids grow up with all their halau sisters and brothers. The wonderful ladies I dance with have all become my sisters as well. Kumu Renee is a more than qualified Kumu Hula (hula instructor). Certified at that! Not many Kumu out there are. She was taught by one of the best and it shows in her dedication to her dancers. She does not teach you simply how to dance, but you are taught the history, the culture and the language so you can dance educated. There are a lot of people out there who are taught how to dance but not taught the meaning. Hula and Tahitian dancing tells a story with every step, every sway or hand movement and she teaches us that. It's more important than learning the dance itself. Kumu Renee is very proud of her students and she encourages them through every stage of developing into the best dancer they can be. This halau is a performing halau. They do shows all of the time, for many occasions. But they also dance competitively. If you find yourself stopping by the halau you can see the many awards won in previous years. There are separate classes for the little kids, I believe the youngest dancer is 3! Then there are beginner classes, intermediate and advanced classes too. So it doesn't matter what skill level you are at, you can join. When my daughter first started here she had zero experience. After a while of course she improved and never looked back. It was one of the best decisions I've made to bring her here all those years ago. I'd do it again in a heart beat.

I didn't just want the regular workout at a gym so, I decided I wanted to get back into dancing like I did almost 20 years ago. I went on to Yelp to lookup any local halau's near me and I ran across Hula Ikaika Ohana O Kaawai-E Honu Iti E in Tracy. I spoke with Kumu Renee and she made me feel right at home from the minute I met her. It's been since July 18' that I decided to join this halau and it was the best decision I made. All my hula sisters have been welcoming and encouraging. Kumu Renee is so kind, caring and passionate about her halau and students. I'm so happy I joined!!!!

Debbie and her teachers are the best out there and they know exactly how to encourage you to do your best. They teach wonderful technique that you can't find anywhere else. I love that you can dance here no matter what age you are and they are supper affordable. They have classes for any age as long as you are willing to have fun. This is my home and I can go here to forget about the world around me. I couldn't think of a better studio for you to start your journey at.

My first time to this venue, located in downtown Modesto off of Highway 99. Convenient garage parking within walking distance for $5 (cash only, attended) for Gallo Center events on 12th Street. Maybe it's because it was close to showtime, but tickets weren't scanned upon entry to the venue, but not until you got to the specific level and at the actual entrance to the theater seating area. No bag check, not sure what the policy was. Ushers available to help find seats. Grand Tier Balcony (Balcony Middle) row C was not a bad view at all, comfy seating! This concert was called Stage, Screen, and Everything in Between. Her musicians included two backup vocalists, keyboards, piano, drums, bass and guitar. The show was 90 minutes plus encore performances, there was an early matinee and an evening show too. The program was fun! Broadway tunes, Disney heroines, and movie soundtracks. Didn't avail of any concessions or merch for purch but the women's restroom line was orderly and clean. #teamMulan #teamJasmine #teamEponine #teamKim

Fabulous night out in Columbia CA!…read more Who'd have thunk you'd find a traveling troupe performing broadway hits in a preserved historic yet also modernized theatre high in the hills? Certainly not me, but I'm glad my wife did because this was a hoot. The lobby is an old fashioned ice cream parlor so you can have your dessert before or in the middle of the show. It's god all the old charm you'd expect from a historic building, which does little to be lie what the theatre holds. The theatre is designed in the classic style with a nice balcony level and a classic mezzanine. It's painted white and has modern sound and lighting, which adds to the production value but takes from the history a bit. There's not a bad seat in the house. We sat in row two and had the actors right in our faces, an advantage having the kids with us! The show was great. Quality across the board. Highly recommend catching what's playing!
