My ten year old daughter has been attending NYPAA for 7 months now. She enjoys all her classes Acting, image development, singing & dancing and it is just incredible how she sings now and dances. All the teachers are so professional, respectful and they motivate the students so much. They really teach the students with passion and patience. This is truly a wonderful experience for my daughter Chasity!

This place is great. My daughter is studying to be a actress and she’s never been more focused in something serious that might lead her to a very successful career. She is learning to dance, sing, and act. Teachers are very professional and helpful. My daughter is very happy and she feels like family. I’m very proud to send my daughter to NYPAA.

I must say NYPAA is a great place especially for beginning actors, singers, models, and dancers. Everyone is friendly and likable and the instructors have great experience and know what they’re talking about. The classes will help you to overcome your fears quickly and start you off in the industry with confidence. They also help you start off with auditions to get your foot in the door. I highly recommend anyone to join, you will not regret it!

Thank you so much NYPAA for everything that you have done. A lot of interesting things happen almost every week for my daughter. Madison has gained a lot of incredible experiences since she became a part of the team. Inside and outside the classroom, she has cultivated creative skills with the encouragement and support of this great opportunity. These opportunities also broaden her knowledge beyond her field of study by providing a multicultural environment.

Kisha J Continued

In my opinion NYPAA is a very innovative place that enables students to be creative. In our fast moving world, thinking outside of the box and aiming at new solutions is fundamental. It is a brilliant place to participate in a cost-effective way. I am confident that she shall go far in the future. She dreams of becoming a superstar in her near future…. She has made so many friends here that she will treasure many pleasant memories with. Once again I am forever thankful for this opportunity.
