My daughter is about to perform in the current Showcase Event put on by Avanti. She has been training with them and taking the free workshops through John Casablanca for 6 months. Regardless of whether or not she gets any callbacks from this event, the $850 we paid has been well worth it. She previously trained for over a year with John Robert Powers and got absolutely nothing from it. Plus we paid much more at JRP, and the showcase event they wanted her to go to would have run more than $5000 out of pocket for us. \r

Since starting with Avanti she has done much better in her auditions. She has even used the monologue she has been practicing with Avanti to get selected for an elite Drama program very few Freshman get selected for. While it may be her dream to become a professional, at 14 years of age we were much more interested in her developing confidence in herself while polishing her skills. Avanti has certainly delivered on this. We hope she does well this weekend but we would absolutely recommend Avanti to any other parent considering this for their child. While Jennifer may be a little rough around the edges at times, she certainly drives their clients to be their best.\r

To the reviewers that delivered negative reviews but did not actually have an association with Avanti, I question the integrity of their review. For those that went through the process and were not selected, welcome to reality. Maybe you need to examine your commitment and expectations.
Pros: committed to their clients success
Cons: location
