Students will explore:
Choosing music that enhances their style and storytelling
Building a character and express it through movement
Adding creativity, musicality, and nuance to choreography
Growing in a supportive environment that celebrates artistry and cheers on every performer

What It’s Like to Perform at ON St. Elmo
Performing at ON St. Elmo is a true showcase experience. The venue features a full professional setup with stage lighting, high-quality sound, and a live DJ introducing each act. You can even perform under your own stage name!
It’s the perfect opportunity to connect with your character, music, and apparatus—while your friends and family enjoy dinner, drinks, and entertainment by you. The restaurant offers American Coastal Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, signature craft cocktails, and a full bar, creating an unforgettable evening for performers and guests alike.
Each performer is filmed by a professional videographer and receives access to their raw footage, with the option to purchase a custom highlight reel. A beautifully designed playbill featuring your bio and headshot celebrates every artist on stage.
Expect a dynamic mix of performers from diverse backgrounds and experience levels, each bringing their own style, story, and character to life in a supportive, high-energy atmosphere.
And if you prefer to take the series and rehearsals without performing—that’s perfectly fine too! Your journey and growth are what matter most.
