7- to 18-year-olds

To develop well-rounded young performers, each session is three hours long, with an hour each of drama, dance and singing – with specialist coaches. We divide students into three groups, based on age, helping to create an environment which breeds confidence, regardless of ability, with each student being challenged to reach his/her full potential. There is a maximum of 18 students per class.

Drama: Students are given a practical understanding of stagecraft, as well as developing improvisation, voice and acting techniques. In addition, they will be encouraged to find the truth in their acting, enabling them to deliver more believable performances. Working in teams to develop social skills, via scripts and poetry, also improves confidence.

Dance: Students learn a jazz dance technique – the basis for all dance. Our aim is to improve each student’s core stability, flexibility, co-ordination, posture and dance vocabulary. Jazz, street dance and musical theatre all feature in the variety of styles which students will perform.

Singing: Vocal training is utilised to develop each individual’s voice to its fullest potential. Students work on breathing, rhythm, projection, pitch and musical interpretation, to improve confidence and range. A wide variety of musical scores is enjoyed, including modern, pop and West End.
