SPiN LA

As a Mom I always pray for the best for my kids. A couple days after my daughter (Julia) came to me and told me she wanted to be an actress and singer I received a text message about Society Performers Academy. I took it as a sign that it was meant to be. Little did I know how much more Society Performers Academy was going to be, more incredible than any thought I had. The universe sent us Joe and his team and we are forever grateful! Julia has never been this excited about a dream or goal of hers before. Its breathtaking to see how happy she is when it's time for class and to watch how much she loves participating. The way a place, an instructor makes you feel is imperative for success. It's no wonder why Society Performers Academy is loved by all. I have no doubt in my mind that Julia is in the best hands when it comes to helping her make her dreams her reality.

Joe- You and your team are so passionate, it's both admirable and intoxicating. You are our rock, our home base and we couldn't be happier. Thank you for always being so gracious and for all that you do!

A note from Julia- Hi Joe! I love how kind my instructors are. They are honest, funny and helpful. I know it's easy for me to say I want to be an actress, they have a gift of helping me understand what it takes to be one. My goal is to be in a movie or a show on the Disney Channel. I know I'll make it with the guidance of Society Performers Academy. I'm so happy, thankful and appreciative to be on this journey with you. I love you and I can't wait to see you in the studio as soon as we can. I have a hug for you!

I highly recommend Society Performers Academy for anyone looking to succeed in acting, singing and/or dancing!

I wanted to take a few minutes to recognize Joe Lorenzo, and our Society Performers Academy. This a academy of family. We have been associated with this academy for over a year now. What a amazing platform for our children interested in performing in any facet. My daughter is actively perusing singing & acting. Joe is not a entity behind the curtain, but a hands on floor General who puts together some of the best curriculum, events, and shares his platform, experience, and his network of relationships industry wide with every family and child. He is complimented by his unbelievable staff that work tirelessly to prepare our kids for success. Not only in performing, but also in character building, communication and personal development, responsibility, as well as dedication and discipline to what they love to do. All while having fun and mastering each child's own development in their craft. As a father to a daughter, this industry can be challenging and scary at times. Being a part of SPA has allowed my child to flourish, build confidence, and allowed me to have a high level of comfortability with Joe's guidance and parental approach to our children. We just were a part of the biggest Gala show at SPIN 2022. WOW! I can only say that my daughter will never forget her experience. She performed in the production after auditioning. For anyone on the fence, or has reservations about putting your child in performing arts, I would say I recommend SPA. This is the best fraternity of family to join and meet other parents and friends. To help our children develop social skills and fuel their competitive drive for success. And lastly, to get a hands on team that walks us through the beginning stages of a robust industry with parent education. I can not say enough about our experiences or how much we have learned with SPA. Not to mention the preparedness we have obtained just being a part of Society Performers Academy. Thank you SPA!

I will be honest, this industry felt a bit intimidating, especially as a parent. As a result I unknowingly have resisted fully supporting the deep passion my daughter has for acting (that has not changed in her near 16 years on this earth). We come from a small community in BC Canada, the options feel more limited. Stumbling upon Society Performers feels like finding the most precious gem. At first the option to train and learn from a distance was the gift but so quickly it's been about SO much more. The opportunity and empowerment offered mixed with honesty and guidance truly left us in awe that a program like this actually exists in this industry.

There is a humble confidence, an integrity that is felt from Joe Lorenzo, the owner and his entire team in both their US and Canadian divisions. This was felt through texts, zoom and validated even more after spending a week with them in person. These are really good humans who genuinely care and at the same time are truthful, who lead with their hearts AND have the expertise of decades; decades of learning, relearning, unlearning, decades of showing up, rising again each day, decades of relationships, decades of integrity. And they have chosen to share this with our passionate kids + teens. It's such a big deal.

There were two things that have come up each time we hear agents, casting directors, managers share tips for inspiring actors … 1. Take classes always, keep practicing like an athlete practices for game day. Keep expanding yourself and your craft. 2. This profession is a journey, over years and years with so much to navigate and experience so be sure to enjoy all the pieces, fall in love with all the pieces.

That is what makes Society Performers such a gem. It offers all of this and more. It is a community. A family. A lighthouse, a hug. It offers honesty and also requires work, heart and passion. It offers a safe space to grow with a multitude of classes + coaches and to feel so supported on the journey, there has been no question left unanswered. (The deeper we venture in this industry, the more we realize how huge this support is) One other huge gift is the friendships and genuine group of performers + families in SPA, uplifting and genuine joy for each other. I can't imagine a better team to have on this path for my daughter Emmah and our family too. In the words of Emmah when asked about SPA, 'my world has expanded 1000 times in the best possible way'. What more could we ever want for our children :) So very grateful. 5 star plus.
