In detail

The dance we will be teaching will help improve your childs co-ordination and Rhythm. By choosing up to date music as well as musical Theatre songs to dance to, your child will be keeping fit whilst having fun. It is important to combine all the three disciplines of dance, drama and singing and therefore we will on a regular basis work on dancing and singing at the same time and very often with an acting scene before.


60% of the class will consist of acting. There will be regular exercises in voice to improve articulation and projection. There will be drama based games, scripted scenes, improvisations and lots of fun. Drama increases your childs confidence in a safe environment, the ability to be able to listen and watch your fellow classmates also helps with concentration. Very often children who find it hard to express themselves come alive in a drama class and levels of communication are rapidly improved.


In our singing classes we aim to increase the childrens confidence in singing by placing the emphasis on it being fun rather than scary. We choose songs to work on that are suitable for the age group be it musical theatre, pop, Disney or traditional. Each week we will work on singing exercises including scales and breathing techniques.


This is where we do all three disciplines at the same time. So take a deep breath and prepare to learn some classic numbers from unforgetable shows.
