On Stage Academy of Performing Arts/ On Stage Theatrical Poductions — Attraction in Fall River

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

On Stage Academy of Performing Arts is truly an exceptional place for any child with a passion for dance, theater, and the performing arts! My daughter Giuliana, who will be ten next week absolutely loves it here and has grown tremendously both as a performer and as a person since joining in 2022. The structure and discipline that they implement have really helped her develop not only her skills but also her confidence, and I am beyond grateful for that.

The owner, Linda Mercer Botelho, is absolutely incredible. She has a true gift for teaching and inspiring children, and her passion for the arts shines through in everything she does. Linda has created an environment where kids can thrive, feel supported, and push themselves to be their very best. The way she and her staff encourage each student while still maintaining high standards and discipline is exactly what you would want in a performing arts academy.

Another huge highlight of On Stage Academy is the emphasis they place on safety and cleanliness. The studio is always spotless, and they clearly take the safety of the children very seriously, which, as a parent, is something I greatly appreciate. Knowing that my daughter is in a clean, safe, and nurturing environment gives me such peace of mind.

I have already seen so much growth in Giuliana in terms of technique, performance quality, and overall discipline and I know this is just the beginning. If you’re looking for a place where your child can develop a strong foundation in the performing arts while being mentored by a dedicated and talented team, On Stage Academy of Performing Arts is absolutely the place to go. Thank you, Miss Linda, and the amazing staff for all you do for these kids. We are so lucky to be a part of this wonderful performing arts family and can’t wait to see what the...

Onstage Academy has my heart.

I started my dance training here in Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Modern, and Tap and loved every second I spent in the studio. Not only is the company ran by one of the most organized and hard-working, director, choreographer, producer, and teacher, Miss Linda Mercer-Botelho herself, the studio is filled with an authentic abundance of joy as music and laughter flood the halls and children blossom into young-adult artists.

My training here led me to perform in Providence, RI, Boston, MA, New York City, Philadelphia, South Carolina, Florida, and more. I was exposed to a vast array of guest teachers who contributed to our creative development as dancers and performers. I attended conventions, competitions, open master classes, and received special backstage passes for professional performances on Broadway. Moreover, I was aided a full need-based scholarship to cover all expenses.

Currently, I attend the University of Southern California and am pursuing Choreography and Movement Direction for films. All of my skills directly stem from my time at Onstage. It made me the motivated, disciplined, and optimistic person I am today.

There is something particularly special about Onstage: the spirit. In this digital age, the beauty and healing aspects of dance and performance are often lost. At Onstage, genuine...

I danced my whole life and attended some pretty great studios. But I have never seen a program run so efficiently, effectively and professionally. Miss Linda is a class act and her studio and dancers reflect that!

Miss Linda and her assistants are so engaging and interactive with their students. My daughter is in her 2nd year at On Stage and we have seen such a leap of improvement and development with the program Miss Linda has in place.

As a parent of a dancer at On Stage, I feel like Miss Linda does an excellent job of communicating and educating for the parents. We feel very welcomed and a part of the community.

We are excited and looking forward to getting more involved with the musical performance side of the studio in the...
