Spotlight Artists Centre, envisioned by international performing artists Robert Sena & Isay Alvarez with partners Tricia Amper Jimenez, Carl & Lyn Balita, Noni Buencamino, & Kenneth Cataylo, is a performing arts school that cultivates musical and theatrical talents for professional and personal development of Filipinos across ages. We offer individualized and result-oriented sessions that nurture the potential of individuals and groups.
It features curricula and trainings that are rooted from the harmony of theoretical knowledge derived from schooling and the decades of actual professional performance of the proponents and the facilitators. 
We have individual lessons in Voice, Guitar, Piano, Violin, Drums and other musical instruments. We also have Ballroom Dance, Tap Dance, Musical Theatre (5 month program that covers Singing, Acting, & Dancing), Integrated Acting / Script Writing / Directing Workshop with Nestor U. Torre (4 month program), & Spotlight Kids (Music & Movement) group classes. Our Karaoke Star program is for those who just love to sing! This program has the usual vocalization needed to prepare those vocal chords, mic technique and enjoy choosing and singing those favorite songs with the help of your own vocal coach. Our students can also record their favorite songs in CD format for their personal purposes. 
Spotlight Artists Centre nurtures the God-given talents…facilitates human passion for perfection…and showcases the realization of a dream to be on the spotlight. |
