Freestyle Dance Academy is proud to announce the establishment of “The Justin Guarini School of Performance” here at Freestyle Dance Academy. The local Doylestown resident and Central Bucks/University of the Arts alum will be teaching the art of performance at FDA beginning on October 1st. After grabbing the nation’s attention as the runner-up on season 1 of American Idol, and appearing in From Justin to Kelly with season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson, Justin Guarini has gone on to do a variety of jobs in the entertainment world ranging from Broadway performer, singer, actor and television host. He now wishes to use his vast knowledge and experience to teach the performers of tomorrow.
Justin explains an improv activity
Justin spent the last week with the campers of Camp America Day Camp, as Freestyle Dance Academy was proud to host “Improv Week.” Justin spent time explain to the kids the importance and different ideas behind performance, as well as how it applies to various areas of entertainment. He worked with them on the concept of developing characters, the idea of identifying with a particular character, the concept of using movement to express themselves, improv work and much more. Justin spent Monday through Thursday with the campers in the studio providing instruction and leading them through all kinds of games and activities.

Justin is excited to teach the stars of tomorrow, and we here at Freestyle Dance Academy are thrilled to have him as part of the cast. Thank you so much Justin for making “Improv Week” a fantastic time for all the campers, and thank you Camp America Day Camp for allowing us to share such a fun class with your kids!
