“The Theater Arts Preparatory School has fulfilled my every need as a young dancer trying to break through into the professional industry. Not only has the program prepared me for every aspect, it has done so efficiently. [wpex more=”Read more”less=”Read less”]In just six short months I can say with complete confidence that I am more than ready for whatever the dance industry wants to throw my way. I have trained extensively in every single style of dance, not one has been neglected. As a dancer, you need to appreciate and comprehend all styles in the dance world just not the ones you are comfortable in. TAPS has molded me into a well rounded dancer, but that’s not all. I can also say that I sing and act, a huge advantage. I am thoroughly trained in singing and acting techniques and will not be intimated by either of those things or any dance style. I now know how to handle myself in a completely professional manner in every industry setting. The connections with top choreographers and dancers I have developed here are priceless, these are connections it takes years to make on your own. This program is the best thing I could’ve done for my dance career, I can say with one hundred percent certainty I would not have become a dancer without this program. It is revolutionary. I am proud to be a part of such an exceptional program with only the top notch facilities and faculty. The Theater Arts Preparatory School is the real deal. I am prepared for any audition and I have discovered what I am truly capable of.”[/wpex]

“After Graduating High School I knew I wanted to perform professionally, but I had no idea where to start. When Don told me about this new program he was starting in Las Vegas I knew right away it was where I needed to be! [wpex more=”Read more”less=”Read less”]TAPS was my bridge from the competition world to the professional world. Right away, the first week we jumped right in. There was a whirlwind of knowledge. Our brains and bodies were so tired, but every class kept getting better and better! It takes people years to make the contacts and to learn what we learned in just six months at TAPS. I am so blessed to have gone through this program and I strongly suggest it to anyone that wants to go pro. There is no way I could have done this without TAPS! I can’t thank Don Mirault and the rest of the TAPS staff enough for everything they have done for me!”[/wpex]

“I’m seriously so blessed to get to do what I love to do everyday! TAPS is seriously such an amazing school that I hope every dancer that wants to work professionally will attend![wpex more=”Read more”less=”Read less”] I know I can say that this program has taught me so much that I would of NEVER known about the industry and I know a lot of the girls here will tell you the same. I am so happy to have gotten a job that I start right after TAPS! Hard work pays off, and I know I wouldn’t of been here without TAPS! Don Mirault”[/wpex]

“When I first heard of TAPS, I thought it was too good to be true. A school where I get to dance everyday and learn about the professional world actually exists? It turned out to be everything I had hoped it would be, and more. [wpex more=”Read more”less=”Read less”]We had the privilege of taking classes from the best of the best choreographers, dancers, and teachers out there. We have exceeded expectations in voice class, all thanks to our teachers. We have learned the ins and outs of the business and how to take care of our own business. We learned how to get professional headshots, make great resumes, and put together our own demo reels and websites. This type of school doesn’t exist anywhere else and there is no words to explain how great of an experience it is, unless you experience it for yourself. Don has taken us under his wing to insure we have everything we need to make it into the professional world of performing. It is now up to us to apply all that we have learned in just these six months. It is a lot for the brain to take in, and the body, but I have never been as happy as I am being here at TAPS. We have become a family, and we have struggled and grown so much together. These past six months have prepared me for what I want to do for the rest of my life. Without TAPS, I don’t even know if I would be pursuing my dream. I am not sure what the future holds, but any successes I receive, I owe all the credit to TAPS. It truly is the place “where dreams come true…” Can I come back next year?!?! Thank you for everything Big Guy. We love you. And wouldn’t be here without ya.”[/wpex]

“Thank you Don Mirault for believing in me, pushing me, & helping me find my niche and guiding me not only as a dancer but as a person. Oh and for giving me my life long best friends! [wpex more=”Read more”less=”Read less”] There is so much I could say about the TAPS program but I’m going to focus on what It has done for me in a major way. I have found a love for acting I never knew existed. I have always been a dancer and never tried anything else. At TAPS we were introduced to singing and commercial acting. Which both have become two things I undoubtably want to pursue. I would recommend this program to any and every dancer wanting to become not only a professional but a triple threat!”[/wpex]
