This series gets you going in the very first class, giving you the know-how you need to create your own solo act from idea to performance! You'll be able to create your own act in your favorite style, whether it's a strutting showgirl, a klutzy clown, or a scary monster. You'll come up with your own concept, choose your own music, assemble your own costume, and develop your own choreography with expert help, in a generous and supportive atmosphere. Legendary special guest lecturers will provide unique guidance and inspiration.

Plus, you'll get professional insights if you plan to perform regularly.
