The show and talent of the performers was truly Amazing! The kids were incredible! The show was upbeat, funny, entertaining and something for everyone to enjoy. I took my Daughters, Mom, and Sister in law and we all had a blast. Every year it gets better. Thanks to Debbie Allen for her Talent and putting together such a positive show.

Loved it. Was at the Saturday matinee. Even young children should enjoy. Very impressed with the singing of Matthew Johnson at the beginning and the end. The little gymnast in Egypt was super cute and talented. The girl who played Kara is quite a versatile dancer.

I was very disappointed! This production was not what I expected. Even though it was a production aimed at the children , it still failed to rise to the professional level that I think the ticket price dictated.
Next time, they should consider ditching the Italian rats and improve the musical quality.
But I liked the general flavor, the cultural diversity and the little girl.

Didn't think it could get better than "Twist" Wrong!!! Absolutely and thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end. The detail and research that went into the choreography was moving. Could hardly stay in my seat.. She has a gift for drawing the best talent around her.Cast was superb. Children were adorable. So much fun. Hope it comes back next year will bring others. Loved it!!!

The Debbie Allen Dance Academy out does itself with this production. Great music and even better dancing. Raven Symone is outstanding. The stand out performance was the Candy Cane dancers. They simply stole the show. Wish there was a DVD version of this show. Can't wait for next year.

It was absolutely fabulous. Everything was great. Parking was really congested until another attendant opened up, after that everything was smooth sailing. If you ever get the opportunity to see the performance, do not miss it!

The whole program was totally entertaining from beginning to end. My favorites were Bollywood and Egypt. I went to see it twice and would have taken more people if it had been there longer. The cast, sets, music and level of professionalism were top notch. Thank you Debbie Allen and all who participated. A special thanks to all who put the score together, also the sound system was a traet for my ears. Can't wait until next year to experience it again. Thank you UCLA/ Royce Hall for hosting this great event. I am sixty eight years old but felt many years younger during and after the performance. Thank you all again.

This was a wonderful event. My daughter is nine and was on the edge of her seat the entire time, never heard her complain once. The best part she even got to meet Raven Simone at the end of the event and has not stopped talking about it yet. Thanks for the great memory, and next year we will be back.

We plan to make this an annual event. This performance is a gift to Los Angeles.
Our attendance is a gift to the kids that are so blessed to have the arts in the lives.
So its a symbiotic relationship - win, win.
The artistic director produces a miracle on a budget. Big ups to the Annenberg Foundation, The Berry Gordy Family Foundation, Berry Gordy and all of the other financial supporters.
Thank you for making this experience possible.

Great show for the whole family. Loved the diverse cast and dance styles. My only complaint was that the show started over 30 minutes late! Unprofessional. Especially with so many tired/anxious kids in the audience.
