Who We Are
As parents, we understand the importance of quality education. We found ourselves searching both locally and nationally for an academy that offered a well-rounded program, and we soon realized there was a void between the locally-owned dance studios and elite performing arts institutions. We decided to fill that void by founding Skyra Studios, a premier performing arts academy, offering the finest education in dance, acting, art, and filmmaking. We see the value in finding a single location that provides all the tools your child needs to become a successful artist, and we sought out the best talent for our program directors.
Our faculty’s combined backgrounds in the entertainment industry will allow us to offer our students the opportunity to receive professional industry experience. Our programs will have cross-functionality with actors, artist, dancers, and filmmakers, coming together to create unique and original stories.
The experience and connections we have gained from our many years producing feature films will allow us to create original content in all genres for our performers to gain experience and exposure. We have direct relationships with studios that fund and buy creative content. The content we create over the year will not simply be sent home as nostalgic memorabilia but professionally-packaged pitch projects. At the end of the day, these projects could be picked up and produced into full feature-length films, TV series, or stage shows! By coming to our program, your child will be a working professional on actual industry stage and film projects that can be added to their resume and used on their sizzle reel. Our students will leave our program as professionals ready for whatever medium they decide to grace with their performance.
