People are so sweet and nice there. My daughter just did her first recital for ballet there and I like to be ahead of things of what to get. I had so many questions and they had no problem answering and keeping me updated. Highly recommend them 100%
Their plays are incredible, I didn’t even recognize my own friends until halfway through their act, and this was their first time acting. As a trans person, I cried a little bit bc I never thought I would see a nonbinary character like me on a stage, esp in Fresno. This place is awesome!
Great performances, kind staff and all seats have a good view of the stage. Love coming here to watch the plays!
THIS IS A GREAT SCHOOL MY DAUGHTER LOVE HER TEACHER AND HER BALLET CLASS. GREAT COSTUMER SERVICE EVERYONE HERE IS NICE AND RESPECTUFUL BUT MY ONLY BIG BIG ISSUE IS THAT EVERTHING IS DIRTY AND IT SEAMS LIKE NOBODY CLEANS ANYTHING !! YOU CAN GET HERE AS SOON AS THEY OPEN IN THE MORNING OR LATE EVENING AND ABSOLULTY EVERYTHING IS DIRTY THE MIRRORS THE RESTROOMS THE FLOOR LIKE ITS NEVER BEING CLEAN . AS SOON AS YOU ENTER THE PLACE YOU CAN SMELL THE DIRTY AND UNCLEAN ! I WISH THEY CAN HAVE A JANITOR AND GIVE THIS PLACE A BIG CLEANING MAYBE DURING MIDNIGHT WHEN THEIR CLOSED AND THIS PLACE WOULD GET A BETTER RATE!!
You. Want. Your. Kid. HERE. My kid does musical theatre here (there is NO better youth theatre instructor in the valley than Mr. Daniel), and I do tap with Ms. Malinda (also wonderful). I cannot say enough about the programs here, and our family has done performing arts around the valley, so I have much to which to compare. The classes are small enough with a good ratio of instructors to allow individualized attention. There are SO MANY classes to take (also offer art, jazz, ballet, aerial, Irish step, and more), you can try something new every semester. They allow drop-ins for those who want to just try it out - DO it! This is one of my favorite businesses in the valley. The ONLY negative about this place is the parking situation - the back lot is in pretty bad shape. But, I happily ignore this situation because we love CAA so much.
