    As I wrote in a blog post www.alohadenise.com, this hidden gem is a terrific way to experience local and guest talent!! The artistic director, James Prince, is warm and welcoming. He shared stories of this space and showcases excellent talent on the stage. Ample parking, a refreshment assortment, an easy walk from the DART Arapaho station. Great place to gather!!!!

    This was my second time here. I've been impressed by the two shows I've seen at this theatre. The first was "Inferno: The Fire at the Cocoanut Grove in 1942" This time around, I came with wife to watch "Postcards from Uncle Al" by Matt Gunther and Gary Moer. It was a solid play with a great cast. The Core Theatre is small and cozy and has been recently updated. It has an intimate setting that is great for kids and adults. The seats are comfortable and there is no bad seat in the theatre. It is well known for its family friendly tales. The staff is friendly and make you feel at home. The bathrooms are clean and there are cozy chairs and tables by the entrance if you want to relax and catch the cast after the shows or just chill and play chess with a friend. The cost of the show is also reasonable. We paid $10 each. The theater also offers a variety of drinks and snacks that you can purchase at the box office. Having been to big broadway productions and very large local productions, the Core Theatre is a Gem to have around the neighborhood. I'll definitely be back for the next show.

    Wow! What a great community theater. This is a hidden gem in Richardson. It's a small venue and they produce original plays written by local artists. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and we really enjoyed our evening. We plan to keep tabs on their upcoming events as we'd love to see other works done here. They are currently taking their production of Inferno on a four week off-broadway run. If you have the chance to see it!

    If you want to have a great time getting back into dance, or bringing that sexy in you out again…read morefor at least an hour while you're in the studio, this is it. Wear anything sexy, wear ur favorite heels, no one's lookin', no one's judgin', here's to having a great time, everytime. And you know what? The lesson's great because the teacher's great. Geena, she's very friendly and sincere in getting everyone to have a good time, man, most nights the class just eventually becomes a closed party..hehe. I find the dance even more enjoyable when I see Geena lovin' the music and the dance, and she's always funny. Actually, if you ask around, many people ask to attend her hip hop classes at Center for Dance cos she's such a great teacher. Every lesson is a new sexy routine, danced to the hippest music. I even dress up specially for class, cos it's great fun! If dressing up sexay just the way you like it, having a great girl party, toning those abs (Geena really does a mean ab exercise here) and learning a great routine at the same time is not reason enuff for you to sign up, man, u're seriously missin' out.

    If you are wanting to find a way to connect with your free spirit and inner sexy, I highly…read morerecommend. Geena is such a good teacher, she makes you feel like you can accomplish anything. Monday nights are for more beginners and Thursday's are advanced so there is something for everyone. I just found out about a membership program that gives you access to both classes all month long. This is by far my favorite form of cardio and release and I look forward to it every week. I have never felt sexier. Thank you Geena and ship Hop Heels!

    For the past 10 years,the owners have poured their hearts, time, and love into generations of…read moredancers and families at Toby's . What makes this studio so special goes far beyond beautiful costumes and incredible performances--it's the way they build confidence, teach kindness, encourage courage, and pour faith and strong values into our children. Sally and her teachers truly become an extension of our families, helping shape our dancers into strong, compassionate, and confident young women. After 10 years, I can honestly say there is nowhere I would rather have my daughters learn the art of dance. We are incredibly grateful for the countless memories, lessons, and lives they have impacted. Five stars will never be enough to express what this studio and these people mean to our family!

    I am beyond impressed with this incredible dance studio, which not only fosters a love for dance…read morebut also champions kindness, inclusivity, and charitable work in ways that truly set it apart from any other place we've visited. From the moment you step into the studio, you can feel the warm and welcoming energy. The staff works wonderfully with children of all abilities, providing tailored support to ensure that every child can participate, learn, and grow at their own pace. The dance curriculum is both engaging and inclusive. Whether a child is a beginner or has previous dance experience, they're given the tools to succeed and thrive. And what's truly remarkable is how the studio seamlessly integrates lessons of kindness, empathy, and charitable giving into their programs. Kids are encouraged to use their dancing skills to give back to the community, through charity performances, fundraisers, and other giving opportunities. It's not just about learning how to dance -- it's about teaching children the importance of helping others, being kind, and making a positive impact on the world around. As a parent, it's been so heartwarming to see my daughters not only gain confidence in their abilities but also develop a sense of social responsibility and compassion. The environment at this studio feels like a second family, and I can't recommend it highly enough. It's a space where children not only learn how to dance but also grow into kind-hearted, empathetic individuals who understand the importance of community and giving back. We've been with Toby's for four years, and we are planning to stay as long as we can!

    Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this studio based on my experience…read more My first booking was disappointing because the studio I reserved did not look like the photos advertised on Peerspace. It was under construction, with mirrors on the floor, dust throughout the space, nails, and conditions that did not feel safe or appropriate for hosting a Pilates class. I reached out DIRECTLY rather than leaving a negative review, and Alex at the front desk was incredibly kind and professional. She apologized and offered me a complimentary session, which I appreciated. I actually planned to continue using the space because of its convenience and how the first issue was handled. I had also already paid for upcoming classes. Unfortunately, my second experience was much worse. There was a miscommunication regarding the space and a different room, and the studio was STILL under construction. I requested a call so the situation could be addressed before my class started, but no one reached out. I handled the situation the best I could without immediate support from the staff. While I was setting up for class with my clients present, the owner, Sal, confronted me INFRONT OF MY CLIENTS and raised his voice at me. I was then told I could no longer use the space moving forward and that we were "not a good fit." I would have been completely open to having a respectful conversation and resolving the issue. Especially because I booked 3 other upcoming slots for the month of October. While I was refunded for those, being yelled at in front of my clients was unnecessary and unprofessional. Which is why this review is being left. No apology & UNACCEPTABLE! I recently moved to Dallas from California, and unfortunately, this experience left a very negative impression. I will not be returning or referring others to this space. Future Peerspace bookers should also be aware that the space may not look or be provided as advertised.
