Working with Billy Gallo at Manhattan Actor Studio was a game changer for my son. He came in with a…read moredream of becoming an actor, and within 10 months, with Billy's guidance, that dream became a reality and he is an actor! The VIP Experience Package set us up for success. Billy provided weekly thoughtful, quality material that expanded my son's range and growth. Billy also helped us think through social media content , guided us on the right at-home self-tape equipment, and even took the time to help me understand the audition process. We now have the right assets to put in front of agents and casting directors - headshots and several professional reels to choose from. What truly sets Billy apart is the relationship he builds with his students, his teaching style is both motivating and structured, helping young actors build confidence. I highly recommend Manhattan Actor Studio VIP package for anyone serious about launching or advancing an acting career.

The owner, Lisa, was unwelcome, lacked communication and was very dismissive. Is this how you run a business? The only pro would have to be the sweet lady at the front desk, Latasha.

My daughters have been a part of POPS for the past 5 years. They have both performed in my-stage…read moreplays (small stage for those new to acting), then mini-pops (7-11 years on the big stage), and my oldest is now in Rising Stars (ages 12+). Between the two of them we've probably been involved in 20 different POPs productions and our girls have learned so much. Regardless of role, in each production the girls have felt valued, developed wonderful friendships, learned teamwork, and the value of hard work! In addition to the productions, POPS also has great training classes for Acting, Voice, and Dance of which we've tried several. The owners, Julia and Mark Mirkovich, have worked to build an amazing youth theater company where the productions are outstanding. The producers, directors, and teachers Hazel, Ashley, Chloe, Evie, and Marcela work so hard with the kids to teach and support the kids as they learn about theater. If your kids want to try musical theater, POPs is a great place to check out!

My daughter has been with Fifth Row for over 5 years now and we can't recommend it more highly!…read more It's a lovely place, with caring, wonderful owners, who truly want the best for all of their dancers. It's such a special place that welcomes all dancers! We popped around to a few other South Bay studios before finding Fifth Row and we're so glad we found this gem of a studio! They have every type of dance class and accommodate all levels of dancers. The instructors are talented, inspirational people and I love that my daughter is not only given great instruction but also has new role models to look up to. If you're looking for an inclusive, loving, fun, challenging studio, you won't be disappointed by Fifth Row!

I have two daughters who took classes at Fifth Row this past year and performed at the June show a…read morefew months ago... Let me begin by saying the show was AMAZING! The performances were spectacular - ranging from absolutely adorable to beautiful, uplifting and inspirational. It was truly a joy to watch and to cheer for all the dancers, each with their own special spark, lighting up the stage. It was equally touching to witness, throughout year and at the show, the beauty of the friendships that have developed and the sense of community that is palpable among the dancers and teachers at Fifth Row. As a parent, when I sign my children up for activities, I look for organizations, teachers and mentors that believe in nurturing the whole child and fostering a joyful and inclusive learning environment. I look for places and people that become part of my village, welcoming my children into spaces that become their second homes. Seeing the growth in my daughters this past year, not only in their dancing ability, but also in their work ethic, creativity, self-expression and confidence, I feel so grateful to be part of the Fifth Row family.

My youngest daughter is going into her 7th My Stage performance and we couldn't image life without…read moreher enrolled here. she struggled with reading books, but truly learned to read because she had the motivation to read her entire script in her first shows. I am always amazed at the costumes, set and production quality of the final show. I have an older daughter who has been coming for over 4 years. She started with a few My Statges shows and is now doing her second mini POPs show which has been such a confidence building experience for her. She was always a bit introverted, struggled with speaking to anyone she didn't know, but now I have over heard her credit her enjoyment of presenting class projects with friends at school to feeling confident in front of any audience size as a performer here. The staff truly feel like family to our daughters. They are exceptional acting, choreography and singing teachers! I really find it sweet that a few of the teachers even were students here when they were growing up. I think my daughter's only regret is that they don't spend more of their time after school here, so they and their friends always ask to do the vacation and summer camps here. Even the camps have been very good value. Priceless experiences for my daughters to build acting, dancing and singing skills and learn about working as a team to create exceptional musicals. We love the friends they have made here. They have grown closer with students they knew from their school & their cast mates. I could not image a better place to take my daughters.
