It's sub par

Decided to finally check this out as its right across the street from our place. There were a lot…read moreof cars on the street and many people enjoying the sunshine so we figured it would be a fun stroll. Lots of booths selling art, jewelry, and other crafty stuff. I liked the live music with them doing old song to new songs. In terms of food there was 2 food trucks and a bunch of booths. There was Mexican food, funnel cake, Indian food, Chinese Chicken salads, dots, lemonade, etc. This was all free entry so doesn't cost anything to walk around. We decided to get wine and boy that was a rip off but I guess its because it goes to charity. $7 for the wine glass and then another $7 or $9 (premium wine.) So one glass of wine was $14. It was definitely a big pour though. I was really more hoping to have a single glass and do some wine tasting. It was nice to get out of the house but definitely wouldn't go out of my way for this one.

Outstanding Art Education & an Exceptional Teacher!…read more My daughter studied art at Almaden School of Music & Art for several years, and our experience has been nothing short of exceptional. She progressed all the way through the program and worked with a wide range of media, including oil, acrylic, and pastel, building both strong technical skills and true artistic confidence. A very special shout-out goes to Vania Goranova, who was my daughter's main teacher. Vania is absolutely fantastic. She is deeply committed to her students' development. She knows how to guide each student according to their individual strengths, while maintaining high artistic standards. Her knowledge of multiple media and techniques is impressive, and her passion for teaching truly shows. Thanks to Vania's guidance, my daughter developed strong fundamentals, versatility across mediums, and a genuine love for art that will stay with her for life. We are incredibly grateful for the education and mentorship she received here. I highly recommend Almaden School of Music & Art to any parent looking for serious, high-quality art instruction -- and especially to anyone fortunate enough to study with Vania Goranova.

She works very hard in developing graceful dancers. She is also an excellent person with great personality. Kids are very comfortable with her. Her recent show of ShivoHam was an awesome program. Her 5th Anniversary, Grand Samakirtan/Celebration, show was the first one I attended. I was totally fascinated by all of the dancers, including Shraddha. Shraddha is like a priceless treasure and I am glad that I found her for my daughter. Even though, her dance studio is a bit far away from where I live, It is truly worth the drive! Last but not the least.... Nothing makes Shraddha more happy than seeing all of her dancers excel!

I am very disappointed with my experience with this dance teacher. Professionalism and…read morecommunication were major concerns. There were instances where I was spoken to in a raised voice over the phone, with the explanation that she was overburdened with work. While being busy is understandable, it does not justify disrespectful communication with parents. There was also a lack of transparency. My daughter's group positioning was changed multiple times without any prior communication or explanation. When I tried to ask questions, it felt like concerns were not welcomed, and parents were expected to follow decisions without discussion. Additionally, I was removed from the WhatsApp group without any prior notice, which was unexpected and unprofessional. Overall, I believe a teacher should demonstrate not only skill but also respectful communication and accountability. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.

The front desk always helps students or parents in need and allows them to call their parents to even if they don't know their parents phone number. And for new students, they always get a chance at the front and back. The student generally watches others to familiarize themselves with the new choreography and then can go in the front line. And after class when a child doesn't see their parent the teacher will walk tha child out unless they are old enough to go by themselves. Amazing experience here, competition was fun and everyone welcomed my daughter who was new. She made a lot of friends on her first year of competition. I would def recommend this company
