A very special shout-out today celebrating TEN YEA

A very special shout-out today celebrating TEN YEARS of work, passion & dedication by our very own musical maestro STEPHEN VALERI!

Though not born to the house of Flynn-Barr-Bryans, Stephen has spent the last decade cementing his place as much more than just an employee. From humble beginnings of teaching a handful of students across our two studios in 2011, to having created & championed our thriving Act Dance Sing Program, Stephen has played a pivotal role in growing our school to the over 300 students we teach today! Having worn many hats during his time here (Program Co-Ordinator, Senior Teacher, Vocal Coach, Script Writer, Set Designer, Holiday Workshop Organiser, Costumer Extraordinaire, Fill in Cast Member & world revered Chef!) Stephen has shaped the lives of our ADS community sharing his expertise & passion to all those he encounters.

Whether it be carrying a giant pot across stage mid Production, always knowing the importance of “just one more vase” or having the team in stitches with one of his uncanny impressions of Suzanne, Stephen’s unwavering dedication & loyalty has seen him become an irreplaceable member of our ADS family.

Much like his idol, every time Stephen begins a new role in his journey here he firmly tells us it’s “the last time”. Now, ten years later, we can only hope that the show is JUST getting started! From Gardener Joe to impressionist Camp Leader, check out some of our fav snaps of Stephen’s journey below!
