Building Confidence & Having Fun at The Performer's Academy

Holiday Fun at The Performers Academy!

 My kids love being active, but they don't share in a love for playing sports.  We have tried everything from gymnastics, swimming, tennis, flag football and basketball to soccer, t-ball and karate. (karate did stick with one!)

Finding extra curricular activities that would still promote my kid's well-being, confidence and promote cooperative teamwork seemed almost impossible.  My son especially needed a creative outlet for his creative stories that he liked to weave and tell to us.  We were extremely fortunate when a friend recommended trying The Performers Academy in Laguna Woods.

The Performers Academy has weekly workshops for kids and adults of all ages to come and learn about acting, singing and even dancing.  The workshops are taught by actual people "in the business" and these classes are perfect for anyone who wants to build self-confidence, develop public speaking skills and just plain have fun!

My son took his first class last spring.  He left that class with the biggest smile on his face.  For the first time in his life, he found "it". He found the thing that makes him smile and makes him want to hurry up and finish homework so he can get to class.  He loves working with scene partners, creating improv and memorizing scripts for classes.

Within a week, both of my girls were clamoring to get in too.  We happily have all three kids enrolled now.  Quite a large chunk of kids attend these classes with no intention of getting into the professional side.  My kids entered the same way.  They really love the teachers and the classes and want to go everyday if possible.  Their confidence has grown so much, that recently they have begun asking me to see about going out for real auditions!  I am so proud of them, and working or not, they have developed skills here that will last a lifetime.  I have already had tremendous feedback from all of their teachers this year remarking on their classroom public speaking abilities and confidence in front of the classroom.

Born to perform
This month, both of my girls were able to join the Holiday Show and perform songs with a group of students.  The show was wonderful and they loved being on stage and showing off their talent to others.  Thank you Performers Academy for helping all of my kids DREAM BIG!
