It was previously…read morethe Collin County Courthouse, and it has been a excellently converted over to a performing arts center. I believe most of its usage is usually musical artists and small intimate concerts, but I was here to see a play. Specifically, I was watching "A Christmas Carol", a work I have always been fond of for my entire life. This was a special one hour adaptation of the play, written by Dr Andrew Harris. We did not come to McKinney specifically to see the play, but while we were there we were looking for a particular bookstore. Tiny Tim was outside the Performing Arts Center drumming up people to come in and watch the play when my wife asked him (really her) where we would find the bookstore. When we got to the bookstore, wouldn't you know, there was Dr Harris, doing an Author/Writer visit. How could we not take that as a sign and attend the play! Glad we did, it was a great experience!

When I first walked in I was greeted by the receptionist we chatted briefly about the upcoming dance lesson and then she gave me a form to fill out. She also offer me a glass of wine or a bottle of water which was nice. The ballroom has a large dance floor with a seating area off to the side. There is a short red carpet leading up to a portion of the seating area as well. In the corner there is a stage complete with curtain string lights. There is also a larger lounge seating area on the other side of the dance floor, however you must be on the dance floor to see it or you can access it from the outside via the first entrance; the second entrance is where the receptionist is located and is where I entered for my dance lesson. After completing the form a gentleman came over and followed up with me about my responses to the questions on the form and explained more about what to expect during and after my lesson. He also informed me that my instructor would be Fred, who is owner of the studio and who also has years of dancing experience. After a few minutes, Fred came over and introduced himself to me. During the lesson he explained everything clearly and gave me background information on the dances we were doing. He was patient and upbeat which made me feel less nervous about stepping on his feet. The time flew by, the lesson was fun and I look forward to returning for my next lesson! Currently, they are offering an introductory package that includes 3 half hour private lessons, one group lesson and one dance party for $45 per person/couple.

This place is an absolute disgrace. The teachers are unprofessional, the lessons were a joke, and…read morethe whole experience was awful. We tried to terminate because we were moving, and they demanded a termination form -- but never sent us the form! Instead, they kept charging us for TWO more months, and then had the audacity to blame us, saying it was our job to keep chasing them down for paperwork they deliberately withheld. That is beyond shady -- it's straight-up theft. They agreed to cancel, yet still took our money and refused to refund us. Creative Soul Music School operates with zero integrity, zero professionalism, and zero respect for their customers. Don't waste your time, don't waste your money, and don't fall for their scam.

We've had a great experience with our teacher and the school in general. Very helpful and very kind.read more

I want to pre-face this by stating that Stage Notes is a great place for kids to learn music and…read morearts. I have nothing against them. Their pricing is reasonable. However, one of their most recent hires is a Racist. His name is Raven, and he is at the Colleyville branch. This statement is not due to an incident or a miscommunication, it is a culmination of 4 months' worth of micro-aggressions. When it started, I assumed it was probably Sprectum-related (I have one of those) so benefit of the doubt. However, as time went on, his interactions with other parents, much paler in complexion, was just amazing. But when it comes to me, I got no updates, no progress reports. He would literally walk past me to go and inform the next parent whatever updates is needed, but not me. I tried to mention it to him, and all I got was a grunt. After a handful of weeks, I discussed it with the Office Manager. I'm sure she tried her best to address it. I am paying for Piano classes on a monthly auto-draw. I have no idea what progress is being made, what needs to be worked on adjusted or encouraged, and the instructor acts like my presence is his life's greatest inconvenience. Finally, I confronted him on the issue. He proceeded to go on the most bro-Schmo podcast rant I have ever heard, and just ended up calling me a liar, liar, you're lying, You're a liar. This was happening in front of my kid, so I had to be calm because they learn their conflict handling skills by observation. I stepped out of the room and let the class complete, because it had already been paid for. At the end of the class, he stated, "Next time, you come in here with a better attitude" with a weird smirk on his face. After that, myself, my kid, my pants on fire, and my auto-charge gladly left the building. So, in conclusion, Stage Notes is great. However, if you get assigned to Raven at the Colleyville branch, you will get great service. Just make sure that you're light skinned enough and pale enough, even if it means skipping your tanning appointment. #RavenTheRacist

He works so well with children with different needs (autism) and is upbeat and positive as well as challenging. The school offers lessons of all kinds as well as opportunities for performances.

The school director, Mrs. Jessica does an outstanding job keeping everything organized, welcoming, and running smoothly. You can tell she truly cares about the children and the families who attend. The teachers are amazing -- We had the pleasure of having Mrs. Emily, Mrs. Sudah, annd Mrs.Emma. All are so warm, patient, and dedicated to the kids. Our girl absolutely loves them! The new Director of Education, Mrs. Ranjana, has also been a wonderful addition -- she brings such great energy and creativity to the program. Another thing we really love is the app the school uses -- it keeps us updated throughout the day with pictures and notes about what's going on in our child's classroom. You can also communicate with the teachers/director through it. The facility itself is always clean, bright, and cheerful. All the kids seem genuinely happy and excited to be there every day. Every teacher and staff member I've interacted with has been friendly, professional, and caring. It's such a great feeling knowing our child is in such capable and loving hands. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend this preschool to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing, and high-quality daycare for their kiddos!

Since the management change two months ago, this facility has unfortunately gone downhill. My…read more2-year-old has come home with more unexplained injuries in the last few weeks than in our entire two years here. These wounds are often not treated properly, and there have been multiple times where no incident report was filed -- and neither my husband nor I were informed by staff. The assistant director, Vanessa Ortiz, has extremely poor communication skills. It often takes more than a full school day to get a response to emails about serious issues like injuries. When we've tried to address concerns in person, we're met with excuses, not answers -- and certainly no sense of urgency. Also, if you have an issue and ask for the teacher's names (since we don't know their names due to so much turn over), don't expect to get them without the director reaching higher above her and then telling you to reach out to the area or regional director :) Shockingly, some teachers have even stepped in during conversations with other staff and *yelled* at us while trying to defend one another. The stories we're told rarely add up, and it feels like there's a serious lack of transparency and accountability. Supervision in the classrooms is clearly lacking, and poor communication seems to be used as a cover-up rather than a fix. There has also been an alarming amount of turnover among staff and students in just the last two months alone. That said, I want to give a huge shoutout to Mrs. Margie, Mrs. Wanda, and Ms. Jasmine. These amazing ladies are the only reason we're waiting until summer to pull our son. We truly appreciate the love and care you show our baby -- thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
