He continues to succeed as he plays all over. This the 25th year his performance includes flamenco dancers and dancing from other Latin countries . There are videos displayed with his music that goes along beautifully along with the dancers which compliment his music. Starting out with a Van Halen and flowing into too many other artists songs and ending with one he created for his son. There was memorabilia to purchase. I also a children's book he published. I was sitting in the orchestra center so close to stage, but all seats seem to be pretty good for viewing. I actually purchased my ticket right at the box office on site it saves from additional fees The concession stands offer water and drinks and acolohic beverages, candy, and popcorn you can take to your seat. I would've preferred something different then movie theatre snacks. I understand they will be renovating and having a full kitchen in 5 years. There was ample parking and ease to exit.

The bathroom was clean. The theater area was big. Seats are at an angle which is great. Doesn't feel that anyone would be blocking your view.

I learned so much in every single class I took. In university at USF I took a semester of ballet and the teacher complimented my technique as being the best one in the class, all thanks to the wonderful education I received at academy of arts. Now in 2025 my 3 year old daughter is taking classes and is enjoying every class. My mother, daughter and I recently went to the Christmas show and we were so proud to experience the show. It was such a great show, still professional and beautiful. 13 years later and Academy of Arts is still producing wonderful dancers. I highly recommend this studio to all dancers and artists who are eager to learn and perfect their craft.

This is a full dance school that offers: Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Pas De Deux, Lyrical, Tap, Hip-Hop, Flamenco, Modern Dance, Contemporary, Musical Theatre, Drama, Piano, Guitar, Violin, and Voice. The faculty is certified and have led professional careers in their respective areas of creative expertise. They begin laying a foundation from the preschool years all the way to young adulthood. And they have both female and male students. They also offer an AfterSchool program and work your child's classes at a mutually suitable schedule. The cost of the classes is comparable to other dance academies. I have enjoyed closely watching the development in my niece, as well as in many of her close friends. I also look forward to their professionally-mounted recitals every year.

Outstanding Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school. As a middle aged guy, I was worried if I could physically…read morehandle starting BJJ. The school and students are wonderful and welcoming. They make a strong point to ensure people don't get hurt, the upper belts are amazingly helpful and kind and even when practicing with them, they stop as needed and walk you through what to do and how to do it right. They'll also stop you when you're heading towards inadvertently getting yourself hurt. I love that the professor (instructor) calls out "listen everyone, we're going to take this one slowly and carefully. This is not a competition, this is a random Tuesday night and no one is winning a prize for getting hurt, so let's go slow and careful". Alliance has really outstanding instructors and upper belts. A number of times I had what I thought was a silly question but never felt silly asking. They take all the time needed to walk through whatever is needed slowly and repeatedly to make sure everyone understands and feels comfortable. The workout is amazing but very doable. An hour class works way more of my body than any workout at a gym and as a bonus, I'm learning how to defend myself at the same time. I've dabbled with other martial arts but felt like I wouldn't really be effective in a street scenario for a long time, but BJJ is the opposite. After the first couple of months, I feel like I know enough that I'd at least be able to stop and contain most untrained people in a street scenario. Really great confidence boost. Overall, if you're considering taking Jiu Jitsu or just want a full body workout that will leave you wiped, but wanting more, this is the place to go. It's a family owned business that really does care about the students and helps everyone progress at the right pace for them.

Being a girl it can get a little intimidating going against men but intimidation leaves your mind immediately. You become confident and strong. BJJ is so worth learning especially as a women. You learn to take control and use techniques that will help you get out of a harmful situation. In the real world you are not only going to defend yourself against women so training with men has benefited me. I knew absolutely nothing about BJJ when I started and here I am progressing slowly and almost reaching my blue belt. The gym is spacious and very clean. Great mats to practice your techniques/drills and roll. The minute you walk in you feel welcomed, everyone is encouraging and motivating you to get better. Everyone truly treats you like family. Our professor Nei and his family are amazing. They are always happy to see you and are rooting for you. They want you to progress and improve. Overall, this place is amazing and they also offer classes for kids. I cannot wait for my little ones to join.
