COST:
Our performing arts and fine art classes
are inexpensive compared to the costs of franchises centers like JRP, Barbizon, Casablancas, or other Local performing arts schools.  Why?
Those huge companies demand large sums, because they pay sales commissions, and overhead for fancy locations, to "sell you" on appearances.  NOT here!  We are local, family owned, and co-op with instructors to pass on savings to you.  Academy student tuitions start at only $100/month, for a weekly class.  Discounts offered for siblings & multiple classes. 
We are confident that students won't find a more affordable class in the A.V.   Ask about a scholarship! Email  thompsontalent@yahoo.com
Our classes are ongoing, and cover self esteem, manners & etiquette, presentation skills, and community service opportunities.  Joining in the middle simply means you repeat the beginning, as we restart again every 6 months.  Limited spaces are available for new students, every February, for prime openings in our most popular classes. Class sizes are small!   See our "photos" page for more info on head-shots, bridal photography, makeovers, and production/ editing of your video/ CD/ for demo reels. Private parties & meeting rentals also available. call 661-951-7727
