Acting & Theater

Acting is the art of performing in plays, movies, or television productions.  Students begin with learning the differences between each & how to navigate on stage directions & camera directions.  Serenity emphasizes proper breathing & speaking technique in our acting classes, as well as emotional presentation.  Students are encouraged to participate in a vocal & dance class.  Vocal lessons are 30-minute private lessons and cannot be booked online.

Acting & Theater

Ballet Program

Serenity Ballet Classes utilize a combination of the French Method, Royal Academy of Dance Method, the Vaganova Method, and the Balanchine Method.  This allows our teachers to train and educate the student as a whole.
