Unlock Your Potential Through
Vocal Performance Coaching & Dance Training

All vocal coaching classes are designed to help singers develop a strong foundation in vocal technique, build confidence on stage, and interpret songs with style and emotion.
We offer personalized sessions that cater to students' unique vocal styles and goals, ensuring they receive the attention and guidance needed to flourish and succeed as a performer. 


Musical Theatre dance training classes range from beginner - advanced and are tailored to the dancers' skills & needs. These sessions can be Private or Small Group (up to 3 students). An emphasis will be placed on learning, and retaining, choreography while broadening dance vocabulary and style. 

Meet Our Founder & Coach

Founder, Bentley Black

Bentley's passion for the arts started here in Memphis, TN where he was an active participant in Mid-South Fair Youth Talent,  Houston High School Choirs, and musicals with Collierville Arts Council. He studied Musical Theatre at The University of Alabama, interned with Flat Rock Playhouse and Orpheum Memphis Education Department, then later toured the Carribbean as a Production Singer for Carnival Cruise Lines. 

As a New York City actor and dancer, Bentley traveled North America with the 1st National Touring Company of Queen's We Will Rock You, worked at several regional theatres (The Sound of Music, Newsies, West Side Story, etc.), and appeared in season 2 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon Prime. And While "surviving" in the city, Bentley became the Flagship General Manager for a large botique fitness brand, helping co-author their Operations Playbook and welcome over 300,00 clients each year. 

Back home in Memphis, Bentley has become a regular name in the theatre community in productions such as: Catch Me If You Can (Frank Jr.; Playhouse on the Square), Beautiful: The Carole King Musical (Barry Mann; Theatre Memphis), Beauty & The Beast (LeFou; Theatre Memphis), Something Rotten! (Shakespeare; Theatre Memphis). Bentley received both the 2024 Ostrander Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical - Division I and the 2025 Ostrander Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Musical - Division 1. He is currently the Executive Director of the Collierville Arts Council, the place that introduced him to Musical Theatre over 20 years ago.
