A Safe, Creative Space for Children to Learn

As artists, it is extremely important that kids use their creativity to develop a character and make acting choices. Therefore, I will never tell a kid to “do it like this,” then have them copy me. Art is self-expression, not imitation. I am an advocate for self-expression and making my classroom a safe space for kids to be free and be themselves. :-)


Testimonials

Not only were we blessed with a great instructor, but also a role model and mentor for our children. Alli is so knowledgeable on so many subjects from voice, dance, and acting, as well as maintaining healthy vocal ability and a positive attitude. We feel that we were so late in the game but in the short time we have worked with Alli, she has helped our children nail auditions with singing, acting and dancing (including dance style that our kids have never been exposed to). We are so excited to continue our journey with AMCS, and are very grateful to have Alli as a coach, a mentor, and a friend.
