A place where talent is identified and given center stage. NOT a place where kids are "coached" to…read moresing, dance and act. I have enrolled my child a couple of times. And he was NOT "taught" anything. He's a naturally good singer, so he sang well. They did NOT provide any voice training. I was hoping they would coach him on movement and dance basics but they did NOT. In summer camp, kids with smaller parts just sit around, there is no coaching to fill their time. They just "play games". In short, it's a lot like everything else. They provide a platform. If the child is naturally talented, motivated and lands a good part it's great. For the rest, it's an activity to check off.

My partner and I took the beginner sampler class and I loved it! Our instructor Sean was very…read morecompetent and created a very warm and welcoming space to learn and have fun. We went through a series of exercises that built on each very well and along every step of the way, there was a new lesson on the art of improv. I was having so much fun, the two hours of class quickly flew by! We also went to their Laugh Track City show later that night and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The cast was super creative and engaging with the audience. I was entertained with every performance and haven't laughed so much and so hard at a comedy show!

Took the Improv sampler class and…read more.. It was amazing. I was blown away by the instructor's clear direction, but also patience with all of our concerns and fears. You can tell he has done this for a while. My friends and I took this improv class to try something brand new and walked with joy, confidence and a newer perspective. ANYONE can do improv. I've never felt so free and not in my head in a while. Plus.. 2 hour class for the rate was absolutely the best deal. Highly recommend to anyone (you don't need friends to do it with since you'll make them there!)

My girls started "dancing" at 4, and before finding LPA, we definitely did our fair share of studio…read morehopping trying to find the right fit. LPA was studio #3, and three years later, we comfortably call this place home. Both of my girls are naturally super shy, but the moment they step on stage, something changes. Watching the confidence they've built here has been one of the most rewarding parts of our journey. What really makes LPA special is the community. The kids build real friendships, the parent community is warm and supportive, and there are so many leadership opportunities for dancers of all ages. My girls have also developed such a genuine love for Chinese traditional dance. And while there are plenty of Chinese dance studios in the Bay Area, Lisa's choreography just hits different.

My daughter started dancing at Lisa Performing Arts when she was 5, and five years later what…read morestarted as a hobby has become a true passion for her. The teachers are dedicated, supportive, and attentive to each student's technique and growth. My daughter is always excited to go to class and motivated to improve. She has also been on the competition team for the past four years, which has helped her develop teamwork, discipline, leadership and perseverance. Even more meaningful are the friendships she has built along the way. LPA is truly a wonderful community where both kids and parents grow together. We are grateful to be part of the LPA family!

In Creative Writing, I was surprised to see my older son showing interest in writing. Teacher Ish was able to help him develop his story further and even to the point of publishing as a book later on. That inspired him to want to keep writing and develop more stories. The theater class was so fun. The kids were able to experience all the aspects of theater performance. From remembering lines, character interaction, voice projection, performing in front of a large audience and much more. Teacher Ish had good control of the class. Her advice on how to carry themselves for the play will benefit their character development well into adulthood. There was an assistant, Mitchell, who was very helpful, and plays the guitar. One thing that was challenging was to try to go to all the classes/rehearsals. But it worked out at the end and the show was funny and engaging. I strongly recommend this class. Kids will learn so much and have fun at the same time!!!

My 8 year old has some attention & impulse control difficulties so, I was hesitant to sign him up. The group was small & Ms. Ish was wonderful.

Each class started with some games to build camaraderie & trust between the children. I am looking forward to future classes with Ms. Ish as we found the outcome to be something we were all so proud of!
