My Suitcase: (Add to My Suitcase)
BERKELEY. For over 30 years, the multiple-award-winning Ashkenaz has built a solid reputation for providing quality entertainment to a diverse multicultural crowd. Live music ranges from African to zydeco, bluegrass to reggae, Brazilian to swing. Dance lessons are often available right before the shows, too, adding a fun element of participation not found in most performance venues. A full schedule of classes is available during the day (belly dancing, hip hop, flamenco, Hungarian folk dance, etc), including some especially for kids. Kids, in fact, are always welcome, at every single show. And if they're under 12, they get in free! The café is open during performances, and serves mostly vegetarian fare, snacks, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages.

DOWNTOWN BERKELEY. Founded in 1997, the Jazz School is an innovative center for instruction and performance that has very few peers anywhere in the world. The school is housed in a historic building, and in addition to classrooms, studio space, a music store, and a café, there is performance space where you can catch some amazing concerts by students, faculty, and visiting musicians. Seating is not assigned, so arrive early – doors open one hour before performances.

ELMWOOD. Music, dance, and drama are on the schedule at this wonderful performing arts center, which doubles as a home for arts organizations such as the Berkeley Ballet Theater and the Shotgun Players theater group. Performances, classes, and camps garner a wide and diverse audience – arts education and children's theater are the primary focus, and the center unflinchingly promotes and supports regional performing arts in general. Constructed on a budget in 1908, the Julia Morgan building was originally designed as a church, but functions admirably as an arts center. Call ahead to arrange a tour.
