TESTIMONIALS

  • My children grew up at FineLine, spending every afternoon and weekend there since it first opened over a decade ago. The programs and teachers there are second to none. We were extremely fortunate to be able to make this amazing program their home away from home. We recommend them to all of our aspiring performers here at Education without Walls!

  • My daughter loves this place and adores each and every one of her teachers. She is unbelievably grateful for such a supportive and non-competitive environment. ALL of the staff are professionals, with extensive experience dancing and acting on Broadway, and at some of the most prestigious schools in the world. It is amazing, that there is a performing arts school of this caliber in our town!

  • I've been to many music classes with my children and am so thrilled to discover Little Birds Music Class. My youngest is very shy and at the 2nd class was participating with Felicia, the instructor! Such a warm, professional and flexible environment. If there were an option to give 6 stars, I would have!
