Our Story

About K.O. Performing Arts

K.O. Performing Arts (formerly K.O. Voice Studio) is Miami Beach’s leading training center for musical theater, singing lessons, acting classes for kids, and after-school performing arts programs. In partnership with the City of Miami Beach Community and Youth Programming, we provide high-quality arts education that inspires creativity, confidence, and professional-level skill development.

Founded in 2022 by professional singer and educator Kelly O’Shea, KOPA was built to give young performers access to the kind of performance-based training she experienced growing up. Our mission is to shape the next generation of well-rounded musical theater artists through accessible, exciting, and expert-led classes.
