WELCOME TO

Sup Dummies Academy
Sup Dummies Sup?

sup dummies was created to change the perception of top-tier performing arts training. from seasoned professionals to day-one beginners, we can help take your artistry to the next level while keeping the joy of performing alive.

we understand the stress that comes with finding the right college program or the next gig. we believe that the best way to alleviate that is with a healthy side of mayhem and foolishness (and really, really good technique).

join the party.
