Does Your Child Need Help With:
A Message to Parents From Artistic Director, Dru Rabin
Parenting a Creative Child is Harder Than You Might Expect.
As your child navigates the performing arts world, parenting takes on new challenges. Trust me, I know. I have two spirited daughters who have grown up in the performing arts. At this age, they’re beginning to develop independence, yet still learning to manage emotions, especially when facing criticism or rejection. You’re not alone. We’ve partnered with families just like yours, supporting them every step of the way. We are experts in the development areas that young performers need to be successful, and we’ve designed a program especially for them. It’s taught by coaches of exceptional caliber, not only in their skills but also as mentors, the kind I’d trust with my own daughters.
