I started working with Suzanne at the beginning of the year for my December 2019 wedding. We met…read moreinitially at her studio where she explained every detail, showed me costumes, answered all my questions, etc. She also met with me at my wedding venue months in advance so that she would know exactly where she and her entertainers park, arrive, their entrance as well as the main reception/performance area. So professional! Suzanne also worked with my band and wedding planner to make sure everyone was on the same page. They were punctual and everything happened as promised by Suzanne. The actual show was magical ! We had 3 male drummers and 2 beautiful female dancers they were all truly amazing ! The entrance was spectacular not to mention the choreographed dances,. Our guests were thoroughly surprised and it was truly spectacular. The girls brought me and my husband out on the dance floor with them, taught us a few moves and formed a conga line with all our guests going throughout the entire reception space. Thank you Suzanne and Brazilian Beat for adding so much fun and entertainment to our special day!

First off, I was shocked to read the three reviews with the low ratings. The description is clearly…read morepeople who have never worked with Aria nor even met her. I have been working with Aria for 6 months and she has been supportive, positive and uplifting in my journey to help me with my music career. Aria has spent extra time talking to me outside of class and has given me priceless advice. I have been singing since I was a kid but moved to Los Angeles two years ago to make it professionally as a singer. It has been such a challenge trying to break though and make any kind of money at my craft before I met Aria. Now I get paid to sing demos and background vocals which is a great start. My voice sounds so much better, because I learned how to control it. Two years ago, I couldn't get a singing job to save my life. Pros: I learned to control my voice, and know a ton of new techniques. I now have a paid gig recording demos because of her advice. I am doing live shows in Hollywood. I got hooked up by Aria with an awesome producer and am recording my album! Easy parking. Competitive rates. I am so much closer to my dreams coming true. Every week I look forward to the lesson. The waiting room is very serene and has spa music playing. I learn a massive amount of technique and music business info each lesson. She cares about me like a big sister and I feel protected. Cons: She doesn't accept every student. She is wait listed so you have to book out in advance. There is a 24-hour cancellation policy, or you pay for the session. If you are late, you miss out on the beginning of your lesson. Overall she is getting 5 stars because this is 5 star place. If you want to be the best, you need to train with the best. If you're seriously looking to make it in the music business, give Aria a call. She will be 100% honest with you while also inspiring you to achieve you're goals. She gives you practical steps to get there and then follows up with you to help you along. She will educate you on the business and most importantly help you dramatically improve your voice!

I had an absolute ball taking singing lessons from Aria. I'd been wanting to do it for a long time…read morebut always thought it might be to intense or stresssful but I was pleasantly surprised. It didn't matter that I wasn't a professional or had zero experience, she made me feel like a rockstar in every lesson, which was pretty amazing. She's so much more than a singing teacher, she's a true vocal coach who understands the music industry inside and out. If you've ever wanted vocal lessons, performance coaching, or even artist development she the GOAT. I was so happy she offered Zoom lessions since her studio is in another state! This was something I'd always wanted to do, and I'm so glad I finally gave myself the chance..

This studio is extremely professional and produces such beautiful dancers. I danced at this studio…read morefrom 2006-2012; I did tap, ballet, pointe and piano. I learned so much in every single class I took. In university at USF I took a semester of ballet and the teacher complimented my technique as being the best one in the class, all thanks to the wonderful education I received at academy of arts. Now in 2025 my 3 year old daughter is taking classes and is enjoying every class. My mother, daughter and I recently went to the Christmas show and we were so proud to experience the show. It was such a great show, still professional and beautiful. 13 years later and Academy of Arts is still producing wonderful dancers. I highly recommend this studio to all dancers and artists who are eager to learn and perfect their craft.

This is a full dance school that offers: Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Pas De Deux, Lyrical, Tap, Hip-Hop, Flamenco, Modern Dance, Contemporary, Musical Theatre, Drama, Piano, Guitar, Violin, and Voice. The faculty is certified and have led professional careers in their respective areas of creative expertise. They begin laying a foundation from the preschool years all the way to young adulthood. And they have both female and male students. They also offer an AfterSchool program and work your child's classes at a mutually suitable schedule. The cost of the classes is comparable to other dance academies. I have enjoyed closely watching the development in my niece, as well as in many of her close friends. I also look forward to their professionally-mounted recitals every year.
