Child 1 Age 10 - 13 (Female)
Program(s) focused in Musical Theatre
(5) Overall experience
This is my daughter's second year at Innovative Arts and although she was a little nervous about attending, she came out beaming after day 1! She now does musical theatre, acting, and summer camps there and absolutely loves it!
The teachers and staff are phenomenal and so supportive and she truly looks forward to attending each week. Her confidence has grown so much as well as her acting, singing and dancing skills!
I highly recommend Innovative Arts to anyone who is looking for musical theatre program.
(5) Reason for choosing the program
I was initially attracted to this program because of the smaller cast sizes. Tech week is also a breeze...it is also so easy to get in touch when you have questions.
The overall experience is definitely worth the investment. My daughter comes home smiling and singing every time, and she honestly always raves about her teachers.
(5) Program quality and activities
My daughter has loved music and acting and dancing and musical theatre in general since I can remember. This program has met and exceeded our expectations and she has learned valuable skills that she can apply towards anything in life. One of the biggest things she has learned has been self-confidence and public speaking! I am not sure how they have brought that out in her...but they have!
(5) Social dynamics and experience
My daughter has made new friends at Innovative Arts and she has a few friends who have since followed suit after hearing her talk about her experience and attending her shows!
She has never had any issues with bullying or feeling excluded, thankfully, and she generally seems to get along well with all her cast mates and even those not in her cast.
(4.5) Skills and growth
My daughter has learned the usual skills they should learn, acting, memorizing lines, singing, and dancing, which is not her strong suit, but she seems to be able to pick it up and enjoy it.
She has grown immensely,y in terms of being more confident with her public speaking. I don't think she has been out of her comfort zone yet, but I am looking forward to the day she is.
(5) Staff/Instructors/Counsellors
The staff are fabulous...they are warm, friendly, inviting and you can see they genuinely care not only about the show but the students! To see the staff cheer them on during rehearsals is so sweet.
The communication is wonderful. You always know what is going on, and receive reminders, and when necessary, staff reach out personally.
(5) Advice and tips
Advice I would give to someone considering this program is - DO IT! You will not regret it and your child will thank you for it!
The only thing I wish I had known before sending my daughter to Innovative Arts is that I had discovered it sooner.
We love this program and studio and are looking forward to many more years.
My twin boys are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum, but they love music and acting. I was so afraid at the beginning because it is so difficult to find any "good" and "fit" program for my boys to stay le...
This is one of the best activities we have recommended to others! Our kids always leave the studio beaming with happiness. They leave the studio singing and dancing. Couldn’t say enough good things ...
