The poise, grace and confidence that my daughter is partially due to her experiences here. The staff has always been more than helpful and the owner is a wonderful instructor, director and roll model for all that have the pleasure of meeting her. I have never seen or heard of any incidents of "laying hands", as reported by another yelper, in all of the years my daughter has been studying there. The owner and her staff go above and beyond to keep the children safe while in their care for classes. If anything the owner and staff have the patience of saints when dealing with occationally fussy children and more often than not difficult parents.

My daughter is 4 yrs old and has been attending Salinas School of Dance for a year now. We love it,…read moreshe loves it. For the younger ages, parents are not allowed to be in the room to avoid distraction. Once in a while they will let the parents in to observe the last 15 minutes of class. The first time I was able to observe, my daughter was very distracted with all the parents watching. Makes sense why parents should not be present. The second time I was able to observe, my daughter was more used to the routine and did a whole lot better. For Mother's Day, they allowed the moms to take the class with the students. That was super cute Both owners have been super nice. You can tell they love what they do. I email Them when I have questions and they respond right away. I wouldn't take my daughter anywhere else.

This place is amazing and truly feels like family. From the warm welcome to the caring teachers,…read moreJeanne Robinson Dance Studio creates a positive and encouraging environment. My three-year-old daughter absolutely loves her class and talks about it all week. She gets excited knowing she'll see her teachers and friends every Saturday. The instructors are patient, kind, and great with young children, making learning fun and confidence-building. Watching my daughter grow, smile, and feel comfortable here means everything to us. We're grateful to be part of such a wonderful studio community.

My 16yr old will start later this week in the teen class. We observed Mrs. Heather in the adult class and even though my daughter really wanted to stay and join her class she wants to be involved with recitals and the adult class doesn't participate in recitals so she will have to join the teen class. Hopefully she likes it because she is very quiet and shy . I was recommended by family and friends and so far so good!

The World Theater at California State University Monterey Bay puts on all kinds of classical and modern plays that represent the diversity of experience of its students and teachers. Luis Valdez (Zoot Suit, La Bamba, etc) was one of the founding faculty members of the teledramatic arts and technology department at the university. The World Stage was the playground for Valdez, students and the fantastic arts community of Monterey Bay. It is a special place and the plays here are worth your patronage.

They are very knowledgeable about the time period and Shakespeare. Their collection is extensive. They also have items for sale for all ages. It's never too early to expose young (and older) children to Shakespeare and the times he lived. There is no doubt we will be back when we have more time.

This is one of the few places I found to host classes for kids starting at age 3. The instructor is extremely patient while dealing with a class full of wild kids and makes time to work with each child individually. The facility consists of two separate rooms for classes. There is one larger room with tiered seating for guests that I believe they hold recitals in. There are bathrooms on site and the facilities are kept clean. I have seen all ranges of ages in classes and have also seen singing lessons. If alternate class times on Saturdays were added for the younger kids it would be five stars! It's difficult to get a run down 3 year old to focus after a full day around dinner time.

As a venue: spacious area with a large room for tables for refreshments during intermission. A medium-sized stage area with no disabled seating but they allow wheelchairs to sit in front of the graduated seating section (so in front of the first row). Personnel/hosting staff: Employees (or volunteers?) are happy and helpful. If you are disabled or are with someone, they acknowledge and help you right away frm the time you arrive until they see you out the door when the performance is over. Programs are right on time. Place is clean. As an entertainment/arts program: Well-chosen material that can be appreciated by any age group and is not too long for younger audience members. I enjoyed my first time at SpectorDance for their holiday show and auction. I felt welcomed into what seemed to be a supportive group of people who are all probably parents of the performers. People from the organizing team introduced themselves. The auction was one of the most approachable in the area and I felt appreciated when I bid on something. Plenty of parking in their private lot. My first time out here won't be my last. I'm bookmarking their site so I can know when performances come up.
