OUR MISSION:
Contrary to the age-old show business adage, stars are not born--they are made. Every child dreams of being a star, and most want those dreams to become a reality. At Applause, we believe they can.
Our society places unhealthy pressure on children to be the best. From their first T-ball game or ballet class through High School graduation they are judged, graded, ranked and categorized by how he or she “scores” relative to someone else. This is how it is, has been, and no doubt ever will be. Generally, our school systems are geared to show such results. Applause will not change that. What we will strive to change is the individual child’s definition of what it means to be a star. It is not in being first or being the best. It is in being the best that they can be. The training we provide will instill in our students self-confidence, self-assuredness, and self-awareness that will enable them to face the daily peer pressure that tends to diminish those qualities. They will always be faced with questions like "Am I attractive enough?", "Am I talented enough?", "Am I smart enough?"
Our program gives them the tools they need to answer "yes" on all counts. We have created an environment that teaches children to build each other up instead of sizing each other up. The Applause studio is a place where children have a sense of inclusion, and are made to feel like they belong. It is a safe harbor where the qualities that are unique in each of our children are celebrated and applauded. They are taught to express appreciation for one another and the characteristics that make each of them special. Applause provides a positive, vibrant, exciting environment that gives children a strong foundation in acting, movement, voice, and performance. Your children will leave each session with the thing that each of us needs, but unfortunately rarely gets--the sound of applause ringing in their ears.
