Performance/Movement Workshop Exclusive Opportunity NOVEMBER 2026

You are personally invited to take part in a special two-day Performance & Movement Workshop and Showcase presented by Debbie & Dan Monroe, owners of Bello Studios.
This exciting workshop is designed to help singers become more confident, natural, and engaging performers. Singing the song is only part of a great performance — we want to teach you how to truly connect with your audience, move with purpose, command the stage, and make people remember your performance.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20
Semi-Private Performance & Movement Workshop
Bello Voice Studio • Orchard Park
Each singer will attend one 90-minute semi-private workshop session.
Session Times:
4:00–5:30 PM
5:45–7:15 PM
7:30–9:00 PM
Age Groups:
12 & Under • Ages 13–18 • Ages 19 & Up
Groups and final session placement will be determined by Debbie Monroe based on age, availability, and what will create the best learning experience for each singer.
During the workshop, singers will work on:
Stage presence and confidence
Movement and body language
What to do with your hands, arms, and posture
How to use the stage naturally and effectively
Facial expression and eye contact
Connecting emotionally with an audience
Song interpretation and storytelling
Microphone technique
What to do during instrumental breaks and moments when you are not singing
Strong stage entrances and exits
How to recover confidently if something unexpected happens
Developing your own individual performance style
Learning when movement helps a song — and when stillness can be even more powerful
Each singer should prepare approximately two minutes of any song of their choice.
A short portion of each performance will be recorded during the workshop. We will then work with each singer on ways to improve their movement, confidence, presentation, and overall connection to the song.
You will leave Friday’s workshop knowing exactly what to work on at home before returning the next day to put those new skills into action.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21
“Bring Your Best to the Stage” Showcase
The WNY Stage • Williamsville
2:00 PM
Saturday is your chance to put everything you learned into practice on a real stage!
Each singer will perform their song while demonstrating the performance, movement, confidence, and stage-presence skills learned during Friday’s workshop.
Guest judges will be in attendance, and special recognition and awards will be presented to singers who show outstanding growth and demonstrate what they have learned.
Judges will consider much more than vocal ability, including confidence, stage presence, movement, interpretation, connection, preparation, personality, and overall performance.
This event is not about competing against one another. It is about learning how to become a stronger performer, stepping outside your comfort zone, and discovering how much more powerful a song can become when great vocals are combined with great stage presence.
FRIENDS & FAMILY ARE WELCOME!
Please bring your friends and family to Saturday’s showcase — the more, the merrier!
There is no additional admission charge and no tickets are required, as the showcase is included in the workshop fee.
The WNY Stage does require each person attending the showcase to order something from the available menu or buffet.
