Here is what they are saying about Rise Arts Collaborative's Take the Stage JR program: "The teacher and her assistant were both awesome. I love that they leaned into what the kids were craving...particularly, KPOP Demon Hunter dance parties to get their juices flowing! My daughter had her first on-stage experience thanks to this class and I'm so grateful to Jessica for having this class open to children her age. It means a lot, and she let a friend's younger sister (3) join who also got a lot out of it!" "My child is becoming more confident about speaking and performing with each session."
