Frequently Asked Questions

What ages do you accept?

We welcome kids from kindergarten through 12th grade. Private lessons are available for ages 5 and up.

Does my child need experience to join?

Not at all! FAME is a non-competitive studio, so there are no auditions required to join any program. Every child is welcome regardless of experience level.

How do I know which program is right for my child?

It depends on their interests! If they want focused, one-on-one time, try Private Lessons. If they love working with other kids, Group Classes or Troupe might be a great fit. Not sure? Contact us and we'll help you figure it out.

It varies. Private lessons are weekly. Troupe is a semester-long commitment with weekly rehearsals. Summer Camps are week-long sessions. School Break Camps are daily.
