WE build a supportive community for parents too.

As a parent, you want the best for your child, including a well-rounded education, opportunities to pursue their passions, and a sense of belonging. For parents of children with a passion for the performing arts, finding affordable classes and navigating the audition process can be challenging.

  • But the rewards of watching your child grow in confidence and skill, and take the stage and shine, make it all worth it. Since 2017, we have been helping hundreds of middle school and high school students achieve their performing arts goals while also supporting their parents through the process.

    We understand that parents are a vital part of this journey and we won’t leave you out of the process or the community. Join us and watch your child thrive in the performing arts while you navigate the journey together.
