We are excited to share the news that graduate Julia Jordan has a supporting role in the upcoming feature film, Dolphin Tale 2. Julia will be portraying the role of Mandy, the little girl that discovers and helps a stranded dolphin.
Dolphin Tale 2 continues the story of the brave dolphin Winter, whose miraculous rescue and recovery — thanks to a groundbreaking prosthetic tail — made her a symbol of hope and perseverance to people around the world and inspired the 2011 family hit movie Dolphin Tale.
Support Julia and go see Dolphin Tale 2 when it opens on September 12th! (See Trailer below)
She will also be playing the role of “Young Cosette” in Les Miserables this fall at the Orlando Shakespeare Theatre. Julia has taken many workshops and summer camps at The Maile School. Her favorites have been the Stefanie Scott workshop and the annual Back to School Fashion Show Modeling Camp. Julia booked her first SAG commercial at the tender age of 15 months old and has since worked for Publix, Disney, Eckrich Sausage, 5/3 Bank, Parenting magazine and more. She studies dance at In Motion Dance Project and loves to sing as well. Julia attended a week long summer intensive program in NYC where she studied voice, acting and dance with the Broadway Artists Alliance. She attended master classes with Tony award winner, Sutton Foster and studied song interpretation with Laura Osnes, Broadway’s original Cinderella. She was beyond thrilled when she was invited to audition for the title role in Matilda; the Musical. Mom Amy who also landed the role as Julia’s mom in Dolphin Tale 2 says, “We would like to thank The Maile School and John Peros for the excellent audition training.”

Maile Grad Stars in Shark Week Credit Karma CommercialAny shark week fans out there? If so you’ve probably seen the Credit Karma Shark commercial airing. Maile acting graduate Patrick Fenimore stars in the commercial as a surfer with a shark who is worried about his credit score. He offers the shark some helpful advice about visiting creditkarma.com. The commercial can be seen below.
Patrick said, “I still wanted to break into acting and appear on SNL. After getting a job with Brevard County Fire Rescue, I fell in love with firefighting. I put plan A aside and worked on plan B becoming a firefighter/paramedic. I’ve been a firefighter paramedic now for over 7 years.” About a year and half ago, Patrick decided to give his acting career another shot by enrolling in our adult acting program as well as our advanced improv class. He has booked some industry work for WKMG Local 6, Christener’s Steak House (where he got to drink wine and eat steak, which he says was awesome!), a PSA for harbor house of Orlando, a web commercial for an LED lighted patio furniture on Brookstone’s website, and just recently booked a Credit Karma commercial. Patrick says, “I highly recommend The Maile School. They always look out for the students in making sure they never get ripped off and always want to see the students succeed. The staff is great, friendly and always smiling when you walk in.”

She has been on several episodes of Glee and X-Factor and has danced on The AMA’s and the VMA’s with Lady Gaga and will be dancing in episodes 6 & 7 of Mad Men this season. China studied acting here at The Maile School and attended many dance classes.

She was on tour with The Pulse On Tour as their top elite advanced dancer. Last year she was on tour with Zendaya from Disney’s Shake It Up. China is now currently on the ArtRave/ArtPOP tour with Lady Gaga.
Mom Tijon says, “I have recommended The Maile School to many parents as the classes there seemed to assist with my daughter’s confidence when she auditioned . Those first classes made a great impact on how she presents herself in every audition and meeting to this day.”
