2 shows a year and 2 local performances!

We have 2 seasons in the year: Sep to Feb and Feb to Jul. 

The start of a season has auditions for any principal roles in the musical theatre classes. You do not need to audition to be in the chorus. The big shows are performed in February and July, this leaves 5 months and a half of rehearsals for each show. Therefore, if joining in september, please make sure you can make the February show dates and when joining in February, please make sure you can make the july show dates. 

Ballet and street can be joined at any time.

There is a Tshirt / uniform for street and musical theatre and to take part in the show, there is a show fee, which goes towards: costumes, props, set…

our current show is: Matilda JR (auditions Sep 2023 and show feb 2024)

The games we do are aimed at building confidence for performances, and in this group, we encourage the kids to shine by doing things on their own in front of the group. We teach the kids rhythm by showing them simple choreographies to the songs they are learning. Kids with roles are expected to practice their lines at home.

The roles they can audition for, start to have more dialogue to learn. There are more moves to remember in the dances in this age group and we start to encourage them to add “style” and emotion to their performance. Kids with roles are expected to practice their lines at home.

The dances have a lot more moves and we remind everyone to use their facial expressions. Roles are more dialogue heavy, requiring more memory work. Kids with roles are expected to practice their lines at home.
  • In filmmaking, we expect the kids to have bonded enough in the games to really support each other as a team and be able to run scenes quite independently. We also have kids breakdown all the characters and props with use from the script. We teach them attention to detail in filmmaking.
