Voice Instructor Yakov Hadash studied music, voice, and education at the University of Pittsburgh and Jewish Theological Seminary, teaches music at Meyer Preparatory School, and works as a cantor at Congregation Shaarei Kodesh in Boca Raton. Hip hop instructor Yesenia Mendoza started training in hip hop at age 8, has worked with local upcoming artists, and has participated in special invite-only events for Rick Ross and Venus and Serena Williams.

ArtStage notes that some instructors are alumni of the program and that a national award-winning choreographer and teacher is on staff.
One former student states that ArtStage prepared them completely for college and a professional career, identifying as a graduate of the B.F.A. musical theater program at Florida State University and an Equity actress. A parent testimonial reports that a child at ArtStage became a well-trained dancer and gained confidence, poise, and many happy memories of friendship and kindness.
