Classes and Workshops
Our “Arts Fusion” approach combines the disciplines of acting, voice and dance into one dynamic and interactive program of learning and fun!
We combine that with respect and a positive atmosphere that fosters creativity, energy, teamwork and a desire to try new things. In addition, it is our desire to make ICON a community-based program that encourages a sense of sharing and giving back.
A Unique Environment and Approach
"After several years of traveling the world and seeing first-hand how lives have been positively impacted by what we do; I knew it was time to bring this to our own backyard.
You can’t really describe in words what this program is and what it does to the people who participate. You have to experience it for yourself.
Our ICON Arts programs and that of The Young Americans combine music and the arts with respect, energy, teamwork, compassion and positive belief in each other to do amazing things!
Every student and adult deserves and needs to experience this!"

ICON Arts After-School Workshops
On the surface, the program works like this:
- Students attend our after-school program once a week for a session of 8-10 weeks.
- During each meeting, they are split into peer groups & rotate between acting, singing & dance classes.
- The students are taught about different aspects of performance as they also learn songs, skits and dance routines that will be included in a musical-variety show presented at the end of the session for family, friends and the community.
Their teachers and directors are all current members, directors or alumni of The Young Americans
