Because our advanced courses are just that- advanced. You need basic knowledge in order to continue. You have to learn to crawl before you can walk.

We also have a great variety of ways that you can receive a discount off of your tuition and offer a wide range of classes in modeling and other industry related things for advanced students that have already had formal basic training. Some of our classes teach you other areas of this industry like being a script writer, blogger, etc. Where it will widen your range of work availability in this industry. We have a little bit of something for everyone!

7. How come I haven't heard of you? Are you new?

As stated above we've been here for a bit over a year and going strong. We are steadily improving our agency and academy and what we offer. We are in effect- the best kept secret in this industry! [laughs]

8. Can men apply to your academy as well? What about your agency?

Despite our name we do encourage men to apply at both our academy and agency. Don't be afraid to be a Divo!

9. Are your classes just geared towards women?

No, we try to make sure our classes are not geared to one sex and include everyone in our bowl of knowledge.
