Love SPA!
August 9, 2020

Our 10 year old son has always had an interest in performing. SPA has given him the ability to participate in acting classes through Covid and he loves it. He has zoom classes twice a week and recently had his first audition with two amazing agents present. The classes require him to study and learn his scripts and perform them with other kids. The SPA teachers have been wonderful for him because they truly critique and require the kids to be prepared and professional. A special shout out to Joe, Jennifer, and Bianca who have made this experience fun and easy for the parents as well.

We found our home!
July 3, 2020

As a Mom I always pray for the best for my kids. A couple days after my daughter (Julia) came to me and told me she wanted to be an actress and singer I received a text message about Society Performers Academy. I took it as a sign that it was meant to be. Little did I know how much more Society Performers Academy was going to be, more incredible than any thought I had. The universe sent us Joe and his team and we are forever grateful! Julia has never been this excited about a dream or goal of hers before. Its breathtaking to see how happy she is when it's time for class and to watch how much she loves participating. The way a place, an instructor makes you feel is imperative for success. It's no wonder why Society Performers Academy is loved by all. I have no doubt in my mind that Julia is in the best hands when it comes to helping her make her dreams her reality.

Joe- You and your team are so passionate, it's both admirable and intoxicating. You are our rock, our home base and we couldn't be happier. Thank you for always being so gracious and for all that you do!

A note from Julia- Hi Joe! I love how kind my instructors are. They are honest, funny and helpful. I know it's easy for me to say I want to be an actress, they have a gift of helping me understand what it takes to be one. My goal is to be in a movie or a show on the Disney Channel. I know I'll make it with the guidance of Society Performers Academy. I'm so happy, thankful and appreciative to be on this journey with you. I love you and I can't wait to see you in the studio as soon as we can. I have a hug for you!

I highly recommend Society Performers Academy for anyone looking to succeed in acting, singing and/or dancing!

June 30, 2020

Joe and his team at Society performers Academy are such a blessing! My 12-year-old daughter was having a very hard time with this pandemic and the social distancing! Society performers Academy not only took my Daughter from being so sad most of the time to smiling and showing interest in something again! Their kindness and caring is undeniable! Their Knowledge in not only the art what they are teaching but how they teach these kids and putting smiles on their faces, and giving them confidence that they never thought they had. All I can say is thank you to them And pass the word on as to how amazing this company is!

I was skeptical about my daughter getting into acting, until we met "Mr. Joe and Ms. Jenn". The attention Joe gives to each student is seemingly impossible(I swear he has found more hours in a day somewhere!) If you are thinking about introducing yourself or your child to the world of entertainment industry, Joe Lorenzo should be your first step.

Just like FAMILY
May 24, 2020

Society Performers Academy is extraordinarily committed to excellence. The coaches zero in on what you need to address in whatever you are doing, singing, acting, modeling, dancing and how to communicate this to agents, managers, self tape and any audition you are sent out for. They are truthful and don't let you get away with anything. As a new parent, learning the business, they are there to answer all my questions and guide our my child in the right direction and for that I'm very thankful

As a mom, I want my daughter to reach her fullest potential and with Society Performers Academy they let her be her true self. I found it hard to engage my daughter's energy until I gave her this safe space to learn, build her confidence and bring all the joy she has to give to her many audiences. She is happy and Joe works tirelessly to keep her that way. He teaches my family about the industry and brings in experts to help guide her potential. We appreciate you!

There aren't enough words to describe how ecstatic our family is to know Joe Lorenzo and have our daughter be a student at Society Performers Academy. Joe is not only super professional and detail oriented, but he is approachable, affable, and a straight shooter, which is something that I think is rare nowadays in this industry. With the world facing these unprecedented times and we are forced to quarantine at home, Joe and his fabulous Society Performers team have leapt into action to assist our kids by immediately getting them all online to take classes to learn, to grow, stay active and help them become successful performers. Our daughter has loved that the virtual classes have given her the opportunity to stay creative and engage with some talented coaches through acting and dancing classes. The coaches are relatable and make it so much fun for students, but also keep them on track and give valuable feedback that they can apply toward their monologues. My daughter has been enjoying working on many different projects, contests and being part of a community that cares. On top of all of this Joe has been hosting bi-weekly virtual chats with industry professionals and talent agents that are so informative and have really helped me navigate the path of how to get an agent and simply get started in this industry. I can't recommend Society Performers Academy enough and I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed! Our family is grateful that Joe was able to enthusiastically pivot to provide a truly rewarding experience during this new normal so our budding artists can succeed in this industry. Thank you, Joe, we admire your passion and commitment to excellence!

This is our daughter's first attempt to step into the acting realm and we couldn't have found a better group of people to work with. We started this journey right before the Corvid-panic, so we have had experience pre-chaos and during and during this whole thing they have remained ever-focused on helping and engaging with us to keep this process moving. Joe and Jenn are simply beyond words - super attentive, knowledgeable, and (best of all to me) approachable. I called Joe "Mr. Lorenz" in my first email communication to him, and he made sure I never did "Mr." again, haha. I like their coaches, and they have an incredible passion for all they do. Joe and all on his team (everyone) makes you feel like family, and they take the time to know your son/daughter. Put your trust in these people, and you won't be let down. This first attempt has been amazing, and that's saying something during these times!

We love SPA! My son loves his acting classes. Joe & Jennifer are terrific and not only know the industry but have that vibe that just connects with kids of all ages! And now with all that is going on, they set up virtual classes with some of the industry's biggest talent to be mentors to our children and so they can stay creative and learn! Amazing!

Hope & Gratitude
April 6, 2020

I cannot say enough enough positive things about Joe Lorenzo, the amazing coaches on staff and SPA as an organization. My children have truly blossomed not only in their self confidence, but in their creativity as well. It has been amazing to watch them connect with their coaches, practice their lines and expand their goals and enthusiasm for acting and modeling. I am always grateful for the personal guidance/feedback that the kids receive and the prompt responsiveness to all of my questions. As a protective parent who spends a lot of time researching backgrounds/safety measures of anyone whom I entrust with their care and wellbeing, I can honestly say I have felt safe and comfortable with all of the coaches and staff members at SPA. Joe has answered all of my questions, ensures that all staff undergo background checks and has created a safe place for my children to grow and thrive in their personal goals as future models and actors. As I have been keenly observing interactions between my children and the coaches I have seen each of them display and model good boundaries and professionalism at all times. I am truly grateful that on their own accord, my children have courageously challenged themselves to learn and be coached by the best in the business. As a parent, there is nothing more comforting than to see their coaches care for them, deliver constructive feedback in a clear and meaningful way and have their goals/best interests in mind. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend SPA to any child or young adult who has goals of enhancing their acting, modeling, singing or dancing skills and a future career. SPA is a wonderful organization and my family has genuine gratitude for our experience thus far and excitement for our future in acting and modeling.
