History

Established in 2002.

Confidence in The Spotlight was built with one primary focus. To build the confidence and creative spirit of children and young adults through their expression in the arts.

There is so much more to the arts than «practice makes perfect.»

I wanted even the youngest children to experience their artistic journey to it’s fullest.

Meaning, all that was involved in learning, creating, building something new within them.

The fun, the frustration, the ups, the downs, the accomplishment and the applause.

Even performance mistakes, sour notes, stage fright, and forgetting lines are an important part of the journey. It is valuable to make a mistake and see that the worst didn’t happen! Regroup, and move forward.

These skills are important in children’s every day lives.

The Academy was built to inspire children and young adults to feel confident expressing themselves through performing arts.

Seeing a child smile, grow, and succeed — by simply having the confidence to try… is a gift.
