In Their Own Words

Marisa loved learning the poise and confidence of how to model and how to present herself well to others.

 

Thank you so much, Robin! You are an answer to prayer in finding you and the service you provide. Marisa loved studying under you and learned so much which she’ll carry with her throughout her lifetime!

Model Behavior

Everyone is looking up to you.
Make sure it’s for the right reason.

 

Eight-week Class

Model Behavior is a eight-week class dealing with timeless truths (like how to eat Continental style) and today’s trends (like modern–yet modest–dressing). Pre-teens to young adults learn social skills, personal style and etiquette, boosting their confidence at all turns in life. Students learn modeling techniques that will get them started on the runway or simply poised and ready to walk into a room full of strangers. Classes culminate with a photo party and graduation walk for parents. This class is a prerequisite for Model Material. All classes are customized for different age groups.
