I have been taking dance classes at Nannette's for about 5 years. The pricing is reasonable and the…read moreclass instruction is great! A wide selection of classes are offered, Tango, Cha-Cha, Swing, Samba, Waltz, Hustle, Foxtrot etc. They offer monthly dance celebrations that are well attended and other special dances where you can practice your new found dance skills. One of the techniques they use to teach is a graduation dance at the end of the 8 weeks. This is a really helpful and excellent teaching tool! Every week, the instructor introduces a new step and by the end of 8 weeks each student has mastered all the 8 steps. Now all you have to do is roll those steps out on a real dance floor. That happens when the class attends the Graduation Dance! Everyone dances the learned routine in front of a live audience and a graduation diploma is provided. This is when it all gets real! There is a mix of singles, couples and various age groups, every class is different. Some people are looking for a dance partner, others love, or to enrich an existing relationship and have some fun by meeting new friends. The best part of Nannette's classes is all the fun you'll have and the fabulous students you'll meet. I've met some wonderful people and many have become great dance friends! Ballroom dancers know how to have a fun time! They even have experienced students fill in a class if there is an uneven mix of men vs women. I have found the assistants to be very helpful and patient. You rotate dance partners so you get to experience dancing with multiple partners. Believe me this is the way to go! You learn faster by dancing with a variety of partners. Besides, you can practice dancing with your partner at home. Dancing with others keeps you from killing your spouse. Lol. At the beginning of each 8 week class they provide a syllabus of what will be taught and a video of the dance steps in available on line. Learning to ballroom dance is not easy but like most things that are worthwhile, it takes good instruction and lots of hard work and practice. Nannette obviously teaches many classes. She also has a very capable dance instructor name Dale Wenner who has been dancing and teaching for years. He is a fabulous instructor and so is Nanette. One of the wonderful surprises I've experienced is something I never expected. Now, when my wife and I go to a wedding or out social dancing, people actually stop and watch us roll out our dance moves. Many, ask us where we learned to dance and compliment us on our smooth moves. Nice. All that said, if you want to learn Ballroom Dancing in "O Town" this is the place to go!

There are some amazing things about this theatre space…read more I love the way the doors can slide open so on nice Orlando nights it's like an open air entrance. I love how beautiful the stairwell is going up to two. I love how much they have expanded their food and beverage line up over the years. The sound tends to be pretty good, the communication from the theatre is always amazing. They waive fees if you come to the box office to buy your tickets. The seats are comfy and almost every seat has a solid view. The box seats are the exception so be warned. The volunteers are always amazing and they are so nice. It would be cool if they opened a second location that served coffee because that line for espresso beverages is always really long. I love the breadth of show types. There's always something for everyone.

Swan Lake October 2025…read more This is one of those performances that stays with you long after the curtain comes down. I saw Swan Lake back in October 2025, and somehow I'm only just now sitting down to write about it.... I apologize for not getting this review out sooner. The last time I had seen this ballet... I was in my twenties, which feels like another lifetime ago. Swan Lake sits right up there with The Nutcracker in terms of recognition. You grow up knowing it, even if you've never actually seen it live. As a little girl, it lives in your imagination. The costumes, the movement, the elegance, and that quiet belief that maybe one day you could be that dancer. For a lot of people, that dream gets planted early and never fully leaves. Walking into this performance, I felt that history. Not just personal, but cultural. Swan Lake carries weight because it's about illusion versus truth, about wanting something you can't quite have and mistaking appearances for reality. Tension is built into every movement. Swan Lake is not the same experience as The Nutcracker. The Nutcracker is festive and structured more like a showcase. Swan Lake is continuous, demanding, and far more intense. The lead roles require stamina, precision, and emotional control from start to finish, and the corps de ballet has to move in perfect synchronization with no room for error. It really is the Olympics of ballet. This performance delivered. It was polished, immersive, and held my attention the entire time. I found myself watching not just the choreography, but the control, the discipline, and the way each dancer carried themselves on stage. One dancer in particular stood out to me, Bernardo Betancor. He was exactly what you imagine when you think of a leading male ballerina. He carried a statuesque presence on stage and was, without question, easy on the eyes. More than that, he had command. The kind that makes your eyes go back to him whether you mean to or not. I'm glad I finally made it back to Swan Lake after all these years, and even more glad I didn't miss this one. Huge thanks to Ronnald M. for pulling me into this night, because let's be honest... this is not exactly a bad way to spend an evening.

When we arrived the front room was empty with a sign to head to the back to be seated. We were able to grab a table and the server came by pretty quickly. She was super friendly and did let us know right away they were a little short staffed and it could be a little longer than normal service would be expected to be. We were ok with that and appreciate the transparency before we even ordered. I opted for a chicken Caesar salad since I was not too hungry. The salad was the perfect size and the chicken was grilled perfectly. One of the kids had the wings - she said they were cooked perfectly and the other had chicken tenders and fries - she liked them as well. We really didn't feel the wait was that long for food or for service, but you could tell the server and the manager were both hustling. Will be back for another meal. They also have lots of TVs for sporting events and they had a line dancing class going on inside as well. Looks like they do some fun events during the week so check it out!

Food offerings for your staples like popcorn soda and candy were great and affordable. It looked like they also had hot food like burger hot dogs and a good selection of bottled adult beverages.

The staff are all young highschool/college aged kids. Overall, if you want a standard and clean movie theater without the whole luxury couch and food options you see at more expensive theatres, this is a good option.
