"Ever since my first visit with Dana, I knew it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. After just an hour of working with her I saw immediate and vast improvement. The techniques that she has shown me have resonated with me and have given me a brighter perspective on the way I will carry out my way of acting forever. After working with Dana I was so confident with my acting, I was able to trust her tremendously, and she really made it all so easy to practice and improve. I was very comfortable and I was able to break out of my shell, and I really owe that all to her. Overall, I got really lucky with a coach like Dana and I couldn't be happier to be attending Fiorello H. LaGuardia School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in September!" - Sophia N.
“When being coached by Dana, she helps me focus, simplify, and connect with the material, and then we're able to take it to the next level together. She’s a great listener and she’s pretty masterful at helping me define and breakdown any of my acting obstacles. She’s joy to work with!" - Lindsey A.
"My daughter went to Dana for about 6 weeks to help her prepare for her a performing arts high school audition. Dana took her from the initial steps of helping her choose her monologue to being ready to audition, and was positive, fun, and instructive. Every single session was a good experience - and actually fun. My daughter emerged feeling prepared and at ease, and even excited to audition. When I saw her practice her monologue at her last session with Dana, I was so impressed with how far she had come with Dana's guidance." - Melissa P.
"Dana is absolutely amazing. She helped me from the very beginning, guiding me and motivating me to work as hard as I possibly can. She spent so much time and dedication on me. I felt extremely comfortable working with Dana and she managed to get me out of my comfort zone and not feel overwhelmed or pressured. She is the best!"- Mikhail Y.
“Dana was amazing right from the beginning, starting with getting to know our daughter and connecting with her on a personal level. She helped our daughter choose monologues that were the best fit for her personality and interests. Dana made the process fun and engaging throughout. Our daughter looked forward to going to the sessions with Dana. She is generally shy and reserved, but we felt like she opened up a lot with Dana’s help and guidance. We highly recommend Dana as a coach and a mentor.” - Adriana & Jeff K.
“I have had the best experience with Dana teaching my son. I saw that he was so happy and interested in her class, and anxious to learn more and more. As a mom it was reassuring to have Dana teach my son and to see that he was having fun. She is so helpful, patient, and an amazing teacher.” - Mona A.
"Dana is a fantastic acting coach and teacher! She has been extremely helpful with getting us information about becoming a working actor. She has first hand experience and is very hands on. Both my 4 year old and 2 year old ask about her often and they look forward to their coaching sessions with Dana." - Sharon L.
"Wow! When [my son] first started working on these monologues [with Dana] it seemed like he didn't really like doing them. But now, I can tell he loves performing them and he's really excited to act." - Michael N.
