Performing Arts Lessons in Hawthorne, NJ. It's your time.

You can expect to work on lots of acting, building character and committment

Currently the title role of the hit Off-Broadway revival of The Fiddler on the Roof, I love helping high school students with their college auditions! A graduate of Boston University's BFA Acting program, I have a deep understanding of various acting techniques that I bring to our classes. I can help you find the right contemporary and classical monologues and songs for your audition, so that you feel comfortable and confident!

Monologue and Scene work

I provide a very custom approach to the individual. I first learn about them as an actor. Have they any training? Do they need help with projecting? Do they need help with speaking lower? Do they need help interpreting scripts? I will use my mini interview on our first lesson to decide what we need to work on and then provide them with the appropriate monologue or scene to prepare for our next lesson. I will then help them truly find themselves in the character using different acting methods I’ve learned. I will give them constructive feedback on their performance and have them practice it at home before their next lesson. Aside from the structure of my lessons, I’m really bubbly and friendly and I think I will make actors feel they are in a safe space to truly express themselves!

I'll teach you whatever you want to know about flamenco or Spanish dance, history, traditional dances, all about customer or we can play castanets, etc.
We can learn how to dance traditional Flamenco or Rosalia or Gypsy Kings and have fun. I can teach you simple steps to perform with friends or in your wedding.
We can practice your Spanish!
