Before and after videos
Robyn Sharp
Parent of Child Coached by Samantha
“My daughter Eden is loving Dare Kids Club at school and it has tremendously
improved her confidence. She was a little bit shy performing and talking in front of
people beforehand and now she exudes confidence. Her favourite part of the lesson is
learning to project her voice. I would highly recommend all kids do these workshops!
They are learning such important life skills. Eden now has a keen awareness of her
strengths and is able to articulate this. To be able to speak confidently in front of her
peers and at an assembly is very empowering. Dare Kids Club is her favourite day of
the week. Thanks for pouring so much love and energy into these kids."
Michael Durante
Parent of Child Coached by Samantha
“We signed our two children up to Dare Kids Club for very different reasons. Our boy
Jensen was already confident and wanted to pursue acting but our little girl Emery
was shy and introverted and we just hoped she'd gain more confidence socially. We’ve
noticed Emery in particular really come out of her shell and she's even enjoying
auditions and up for a lead role in a TV commercial. As for JJ - his confidence has
gone to the next level and he just filmed his first TV job through Dare’s talent agency.
While TV work was never the goal or even on the radar the whole process has been
fun and added to their confidence and character enormously so we are happy to
support this.”
Catherine McLeoud
Parent of Child Coached by Samantha
“I was so happy when confidence and drama classes became available at Rose Bay.
These classes have been fabulous for my son Max. He has come a long way in leaps
and bounds in confidence within himself and within the school environment. With
extra confidence he has been able to speak up at SRC meetings and his ability to
speak with volume and clarity has helped him in the choir too. Max loves being part of
the choir and can’t wait for the Town Hall performance soon. He would never have
felt comfortable doing this 6 months ago. Thank you!”
