Meet Kylah Anderson, a fiery, talented dancer and performer! ✨

Did ICA influence your confidence or direction as an artist?
“Yes. IMPACT helped me improve my confidence as a performer and a person drastically. The support and encouragement I received made me get out of my head and into a mindset of “I can do this!” even if I wasn’t the most experienced in the room. I saw a shift in how I carried myself between the first day of class and the final showcase, and I’m so very grateful for that.” 🎭🪩

The queens are coming to Miami. One night only.

Andrea Macasaet, Brittney Mack, and Samantha Pauly - three of the original Broadway queens of SIX - reunite for THE ROYAL REUNION: MIAMI EDITION, live at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center on Saturday, January 2, 2027.

After an unforgettable night in Chicago this June, the reunion heads south for its first-ever South Florida performance. Expect the music you love, a live band, and an intimate evening with the queens in a 318-seat house - this is about as close as it gets.

VIP tickets include a private pre-show reception and a post-show meet-and-greet with the queens.

Every ticket supports Illinois Conservatory for the Arts, a nonprofit providing pre-professional performing arts training to young artists ages 10-21. More than half of our students receive need-based financial assistance, and we never turn a student away because of what their family can afford. When you're in that room, you're helping the next generation of performers find their stage.

Tickets on sale NOW. Seating is extremely limited.

Meet Neda Unguraitis, a bright, talented performer!

She’s a star at ICA IMPACT sessions, doing singing, acting, and dancing! 💫

What makes ICA different to her?
“I think it emphasizes a lot of what you don’t really get to experience until the real thing. The professionalism aspect! I feel like how you present yourself is half of getting the job, and ICA really supports confidence.” 🪩💃
