“Claire Rice brought the best out of my child, she saw this potential hidden behind a shower of anxiety and nurtured this potential forward with patience, trust and care. My daughter adores her and so do we. Any child will blossom in her class.”
Claire's creative stamina, imaginative energy and capable steering were a gift for our family for several years. Her leadership validated how kids see the world while stretching their minds and skill sets. And the kids never noticed themselves reaching for new skills because they were always playing! Now we are a dedicated musical theatre kind of household! I blame Claire.
Claire makes sure everyone who is doing the play is happy and is in a role they like. I like her style of teaching dance, and she explains it in a very good way. She helped me to feel comfortable in the role. I really miss her.
Claire not only helped me further my technical skills in theatre but also inspired me to fully embrace the way I show up on stage.
We absolutely loved having Claire as our theatre teacher. She's an amazing communicator. Her passion for musical theatre is infectious, and she can capture and hold the attention of all of the children in her group. She took the time to connect with all of the kids, even the quiet ones who wanted to work behind the scenes. She helped my son (not an actor but a tech) to feel at home with the other theatre kids, and she helped my daughter feel more confident and to take on more challenging roles.
Working with Claire helped guide me on the path of pursuing theatre as a career.
