The inland Conservatory of the performing arts school was the best decision me and my husband ever…read moremade when it came to a private school. This is a school for performing arts not academics. Yes academics are provided but don't get mad if you want your baby to be a Dr or a scientist. Go somewhere else. It really is very unprofessional and inhumane for other parents or visitors to leave a one star review with rude and untrue reviews. That's actually pretty ghetto. Any child that graduates from the school has a very bright future ahead not only are they taught college knowledge they are taught hard work and perseverance. If you are a parent that does not discipline your kid this school is not for you if you are a parent that wants your child to know the value of what they are worth, what it takes to be the best, stamina, work ethic, life lessons, teamwork, then this is a great school for your baby.

This school is not a school. They should only teach music/dance as classes but not an establishment…read morethat students should spend the day in. The 2 stars that I gave this school were for the passion for music and some of the music teachers who are amazing. If my children could learn music all day, this school would be great. They put a great focus on their music and extra curricular activities but academics come last, If at all. The owner Professor Coleman tells you whatever you want to hear to get your money. Their curriculum is less than age appropriate with little to no assistance for the students or teachers with appropriate credentials. There is a very small teacher to student ratio and very little supervision. They allow students to go "off campus" without their parent's permission. Things that happen within the school amongst the students are sometimes shared with parents, but not always - especially if the parent in question will take their student out due to the lack of supervision. The academic, dance, music and theatrical teachers drop like flies around this place because they have passion and morals and cannot get down with this program. Mid-year when you realize he didn't apply your $500 deposit, he calls it a registration fee. He tries to charge you through August, but somehow prorated homeschool fees, so the homeschools don't find out. Then he holds a summer program and only fulfills a few of the summer fun activities. Additional they asked for parent chaperones without getting permission from the parents of the kids who are being driven. Nor did they verify the chaperone's drivers license or insurance information. During the summer program my 12 year old, 2 - 14 year olds , and a 13 year old were being driven by an 18 year old. The 13 year old gives my son a pill and told him it was candy. It was a sleeping pill. This building is old and run down and definitely not up to code. It's a beautiful, historical building but not safe for preschool - high school students. They allow adults (other parents) to come on campus during school hours to confront students of whom their students have beef with. After a performance, Professor Coleman is verbally abusive to his students by telling them that they are "pathetic", "he doesn't want them walking away thinking they did great" and has gotten involved and cancelled outside gigs for students when he wasn't involved. This summer, after the students amazing lemon fest vocal performance in 99 degree weather, with the sun in their faces, Professor Coleman told them "they're an embarrassment and they're making his school look bad because they didn't perform the way they should have." He goes on an on about how he has this high education but then turns around and develops curriculum for those who he believes are less than and that doesn't meet the A-G requirement because he doesn't have the staff to teach it. The other staff who works there are nice, but they're loyal to him and have his back. They won't hold him accountable or tell him that he should do better, when they know he's wrong. There is zero communication through the school, the promises that were made to the parents were broken and the professor is as petty and vindictive as they come. The only parents who will vouch for him are his favorites. Make sure to read the 16 reviews that are not recommended at the bottom. They are either from parents such as myself, or current/former students, staff and the favorites. I'm surprised this school is still around. If you take your chances on this school - best of luck. You've been warned.

We felt like superstars from the moment we walked into Biltmore LA. Joe Lorenzo and his staff take care of everything and they're ALWAYS accessible. Thank you Joe...we love you!!! Some reviews say it's a scam and I disagree. This is absolutely not a scam. Yes, it costs money and it's not cheap, but it is high quality and a one-stop shop. In fact, my daughter received offers from several reputable agents and signed with a talent agency BECAUSE of Spin LA. As an added bonus, we met incredible resources along the way, including Jenn Boyce (Hollywood Prep), who has provided amazing advice and ongoing support. Joe and Jenn were exactly what mjy daugther and I needed as newcomers to the industry. Beyond the professional opportunities, my daughter bonded with kids from her acting studio (Hooray Performers Academy!) and made new friends, which made the experience even more special...she still texts with them on a weekly basis! If you want a program that delivers real results, genuine connections, in a fun and supportive environmjent, I recommend attending Spin LA...we still talk about it and remember the amazing experience.

He is very easy to talk to and is a great communicator with the talent and their families. This is a newer location just across from Porto's bakery, south of the new "mini" target and The Organic Nail House. If you are a parent you can keep yourself busy for a few hours while your child is in class developing the proper skills to become a successful actor. The line up of former students here will blow your doors off!!! Starting with Ariel Winters, from ABC's Modern family. My daughter had booked many gigs over the years thanks to David and his entire staff. Check out the website for class schedules. They offer: scene study, cold reading, improv, voice overs and private coaching/self taping for all ages starting at 4. They also offer film camp for summer break and during the year for holiday breaks. I highly recommend auditing a class with your child or for yourself. *Please contact the office for pricing, schedule times and availability. *Contact for age appropriate classes

Patricia is a brilliant Renaissance woman. She is what you get when you mix technical excellence…read moreand style with humility, compassion, and a lifelong commitment to the craft. She is simply the best! I feel incredibly lucky to have met Patricia and begun my singing journey with her. I've been a student at Studio Shanks since 2018, when I was fresh out of college and looking for a voice teacher who could earnestly teach me how to sing. At the time, there were flashy online ads for folks that could "make you a superstar" and all of it felt so loud and nothing seemed to fit. At one point Patricia returned my call. Immediately I knew that she was the right teacher for me. It was obvious that she is not just naturally fun and easygoing, but also a true technician when it comes to the craft of singing. It's been a few years since we began working together. I've discovered that singing is something that can be learned at any age. It requires hard work, but it can be done. Luckily, Patricia is entirely dedicated to the growth and success of her students. Knowing this makes it much easier to bring my own effort during and between classes. I am honestly amazed at how, despite having worked with many respected luminaries in the field, Patricia remains humble and always with a sense of humor that puts me at ease. She is everything that comprises a professional artist and educator. What I love most is that she cuts through the noise and focuses on pure foundations. That means that she is able to work with vocalists ranging from the most contemporary pop styles to opera to musical theatre and beyond. All kinds of singing require the same basic knowledge of healthy and safe vocal techniques. At Studio Shanks, everything counts and everything matters. Thank you so much, Patricia!

Thank you very much for communicating. I would love to take singing lessons with you.read more

The Grove is a historical building and I came here to see the production of Disney's High school…read moremusical. I arrived about thirty-five minutes early as I wanted to make sure there was enough time to find parking, retrieve my tickets, and find my seat. It was also my first time visiting this theatre. Ive made my way to will call to pick up ticket. A lady came out with prepaid tickets; I gave her my last name and she found my ticket right away. I didn't get her name but she was personable and kind. She was also very funny as we laughed a bit before I walked away--there was a big crowd of people that formed a queue behind me. Making my way to the entrance; I handed the lady whom was collecting tickets my ticket and she was very kind. They have a concession area for snacks and beverages. The theatre doors weren't opened just yet as showtime wasn't until 7:29pm, but the doors opened promptly at 7pm. I found my seat H-16 center which was nice and close to stage. The clock struck 7:15pm and the seats starting to fill in more with bodies. The production started right away but before it did there was an announcement that cell phones and beepers (yes beepers) had to be turned off--for everyone to sit back and enjoy the show. The show began and immediately it took me back as I remember growing up when the musical was released. I somehow remembered a few of the words to some of songs and found myself lip singing along: "We're all in this together Once we know That we are We're all stars And we see that We're all in this together And it shows When we stand Hand in hand Make our dreams come true" We are all in this together so let's make the best of life! This was truly an amazing show and all the actors and actresses were phenomenal--keep in mind that this show in particular was put on by the youth. I would like to return for an adult production. Nevertheless, it was a nice trip down memory lane. As I was exiting the theatre I found myself chatting with some people including the manager who was such a darling. I do my very best to always be in good spirits and this definitely added to it by sprinkling positivity all around. I left the theatre still lip singing: "Together, together, together everyone Together, we're there for each other every time" (Disney's We're all in this together, high school musical) "Let's do what we love and do a lot of it!" -Marc Jacobs

The only concern would be how hot it gets in the theatre luckily most seats were not taken because it was an afternoon showing so I was able to move to a more comfortable seat and not feel claustrophobic. it was hot in the I.E today and would consider a winter show. I had a great time even with the small snack bar and cheap prices.. also they should carry more craft beer rather then just the typical bud type.
