Aside from being a phenomenal acting coach, John D’Aquino has created an amazing, unique environment for students to develop skills, boost their confidence, and explore avenues within the industry, aside from acting. John challenges them, encourages them, and ultimately drives them to realize their potential! JDAW is a family/team community where John and his staff truly care about their students. The students also truly care about each other, rooting for each other and celebrating together. It is a very positive, welcoming place that our young actors are excited to be at every single week. We couldn’t be happier that all three of our kids (Rylee (14), Kyra and Aiden (18+)) will have John, Shane, Emily and the rest of the JDAW staff on their team throughout their incredible journeys.
