The Arise Acting Studio is an amazing place to go! I haven’t known a better place that is both educational, safe, and so much FUN!! I currently go to the Arise Acting Studio, performing in their shows and taking classes. With COVID right now they are probably the most safe. They are taking the extra mile to ensure us students are as safe and healthy as we can be, while also providing an extra fun time in Rehearsals. I highly recommend it, your children would have the time of their lives. Memories that they will hold forever are made at the Arise Acting Studio. Life skills, through stage skills.
We absolutely LOVE the Arise Acting Studio! My daughter, age 11, started there a little over a year ago. The staff there is amazing. They welcomed her with open arms and they pour so much love and encouragement on the kids there. They push them to do their best and work hard but you can feel the love they have for the students in helping them build/grow in their craft. My daughter has done classes and is currently in her 4th show there. Arise Acting Studio is probably her favorite place to go during the week!
Our son has been at The Arise Acting Studio for 6 years. It is his favorite place to be! The environment is wholesome, positive and affirming. He has truly learned life skills through stage skills. There is excellence not only in what is taught, but also how it is taught. True professionalism is found in every area—the classes, productions, and Triple Threat Program. The philosophy that each child is on their own journey breeds an atmosphere of camaraderie as opposed to competitiveness. The Arise Acting Studio has opened doors for him to have a lot of success in the musical theater world.
We absolutely love The Arise Acting Studio. The staff is top notch. All the classes are amazing. I have really seen my child grow since attending. The productions are truly amazing. The staff pours their heart into them and really motivates the actors to do the same.
This is by far the number one acting studio in the DFW area. As a long-time actress, finding a quality studio with trained professionals is very difficult but this studio is top notch!
My daughter has been taking classes and performing in the Arise Acting Studio’s productions for 8 years and loves it there. She has learned skills that have carried over into school and her personal life. The teachers are wonderful and really want the kids to be successful. I highly recommend the Arise Acting Studio!
I cannot say enough good things about this place in terms of what they’ve done for my son. I can’t promise you that your child will become the next Broadway star, but what I can promise you is that your child will become the best version of themselves. My son started here in his teens – acting, performing was never on our radar as he was growing up. He was incredibly shy, played sports but really kept to himself….Because of what he’s learned at the studio, he has since auditioned and was accepted to a performing arts high school where he is thriving. He’s excited to go to school, to hone his craft and takes every opportunity he can to perform. If we’d let him go to the studio every day, he would. He has found his tribe with the Arise Acting Studio – give it a chance to be your child’s.
My daughter has taken classes in singing, dancing and acting there for the past 3 years and we could not be happier. The owners take their craft seriously, hold the kids to a high standard and teach them how to act professionally, despite their young age.
I cannot say enough good things about this place. I have a child who always wanted to act, but was once so shy about performing in public that she couldn’t even audition for a show choir at school. She barely spoke in class. She’s now pursuing a BFA in Acting in a competitive college program and is a completely authentic, confident child – and I truly credit the Arise Acting Studio.
I knew the Arise Acting Studio was a healthy, professional, and positive environment from our very first experience at camp when the teacher introduced the show, explaining their life skills through stage skills philosophy. Since then, my child has taken many classes and participated in their productions, and he has gained so much experience and confidence. Their teachers are amazing and really care about the kids.
It’s hard for me to put into words how amazing The Arise Acting Studio is. Regardless of how serious your child is about theater, they will learn invaluable life skills. If they are serious about theater, they will get excellent training to further their passion. The owners and instructors are top notch and truly care about the kids.
Amazing studio with the most caring teachers/ directors/ owners/ professionals. Been with the studio for over 4 years and couldn’t be more pleased.
The Arise Acting Studio is AMAZING! My daughter has learned a lot and above all has had the best time of her life there! Thank you!
It is quite rare to find a theater school/company that has the professionalism, talent and dedication that we have found with the Arise Acting Studio. Their high expectations of the kids result in learning and productions unparalleled in any other local theater group we have explored (and we have tried several).
We have been with the Arise Acting Studio now two years and have been so impressed with the quality of instruction and the high level of productions and performances. It’s been a great learning experience for our daughter.
