What is the history of your program?
Rock Star University (formerly Lemon Bay Performing Arts Academy) was established in 2001. Since then our academy has served well over a thousand campers ages five through eighteen doing various camps, classes, and workshops. Campers train alongside professional choreographers, vocal coaches, and musicians that have performed in rock concerts, national Broadway tours, regional theatre, and operas. Recently, our speciality shifted from musical theatre to creating our own pop rock concerts, after our success with High School Musical, HSM2, and our own Rock Star Concert last summer.
What is the staff to camper ratio?
We aim for a 5 to 1 ratio with professional instructors, support staff, counselors, and counselors in training.
Are background checks completed on staff? What are their qualifications to to instruct my child?
Background checks are completed on each staff member. All paid staff fingerprinted, go through thorough interview processes, and have many years of experience working in the performing arts and with youth. We are highly selective of our staff who love to work with kids, inspire them to achieve and immerse them in the excitement of the collaborative nature of the arts.
Many of our instructors have spent years performing in bands, on tour, in Regional Professional Theatre, National Tours, Broadway, and Off Broadway. Many of them have worked with us in the past either as instructors or on the creative team for our shows. Many of our instructors are also teachers or professors during the school year.
