Spotlight Performing Arts Academy, Mint Hill | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I am a performer, a teacher, & a dance instructor in the charlotte area, & whenever I have a parent ask about a theatre program for their child, Spotlight, under the direction of Angela Mills, is the first place I recommend.
Angela was my chorus teacher my junior year of high school (as well as my music appreciation & musical theatre teacher), & let me tell you, she knows her stuff! In her classes, I improved my technique significantly, expanded my knowledge of what I love to do, & grew as a performer both in ability & confidence. Whenever I am preparing for an audition, I can hear Angela’s voice in the back of my head correcting my pronunciation!
My little brother began performing at spotlight shortly after I met Angela. He has done several shows there & has raved about his experience every time. Over the past five years, I’ve seen him, as well as his returning cast mates, improve tremendously!
If your child loves theatre & wants to learn more while having fun, they will do great at Spotlight.
If your child has a good attitude, a willingness to learn & be corrected, & a good work ethic, they will do great at Spotlight.
Spotlight performing arts academy is a wonderful place for your child to learn, grow, & be actively involved in the arts.

Spotlight has been such an incredible experience!! Mrs. Angela is one of the most amazing directors ever and puts together such astounding shows! The environment is so safe and inclusive and everyone gets a chance to showcase their talent! Not only is Mrs. Angela a great director, but an extraordinary mentor as well! She has improved my singing and acting and has been nothing but nice to me since the day I arrived! Since I started theater here i’ve gained more confidence and really found a place where I belong! I have also found some incredible people here who are so talented and so sweet and have really had an impact on me but the most impact has been from Mrs. Angela she is so encouraging and so talented and she always knows how to make me smile she really is an unbelievable director who knows how to really put a show together and teaches people like me what theater really means! I have had such an incredible experience her and have found not just friends but family here! Love you Mrs. Angela and I love Spotlight and I definitely don’t plan on leaving anytime soon! 🙂

Our experience with Angela Gordon Mills and Spotlight Performing Arts has been phenomenal. We have been a part of this theater for 2+ years. This is a locally run theater group (small business) offering a variety of music and performing arts classes. All 3 of my children have participated in a variety of offerings such as music lessons, voice lesson, summer camps, and productions. Angela has always been supportive, encouraging, and fun. She helps build their confidence and pushes them to try new things. Thank you, Angela for your hard work.

As for the negative reviews- it is deplorable that people “adults” feel the need to be so hurtful. With so much chaos in the world, we all need some peace, compassion, and understanding. None of the negative review are constructive or helpful- clearly a personal attack.
