Classes

Drama

Improvisation + imagination = confidence and creativity

​All children are natural actors, so through a mixture of drama games and theatrical improvisations we aim to inspire their innate ability.

This includes:

• a variety of drama games every week to awaken their self-awareness

• individual exercises designed to improve their confidence

• small-group tasks which develop their imagination and co-operation

The classes include plenty of opportunities for the children to explore and develop their natural tendency towards performance, as well as the practice and use of the body and voice in theatre.

Singing

Finding their musical voices

In this part of the class the children are encouraged to be as loud as they like!

• vocal warm-up

• teaching of traditional and contemporary songs

• learning how to deliver and perform a song, not just how to sing it

We sing as a group and encourage those who are ready to sing solo, and will vary the songs each term. Singing and dancing are often combined into routines for our end-of-term shows.

Dancing

Letting their feet do the talking

Moving to music is, almost without exception, the part of the class that the children will take to without any inhibition.

The session include:

• a warm-up to music, engaging all the major muscle groups

• learning many different types of steps, from marches to slides, skipping to pirouettes

• a wide range of music to suit all tastes and levels of ability

Most children have a natural sense of rhythm, and by breaking down the steps and with continuous repetition, we simply show them how to move, impressively, in time with the music.

Street Dance

It’s all about attitude

This freestyle form of dance, which began on the streets as young kids improvised body movements to catchy tunes, is ideal for those seeking an alternative to more contemporary forms of dance. It is both an art form and a great way for youngsters to keep fit.

They can:

• learn the very latest in urban choreography

• dance to up-to-the-minute music

• engage in high energy classes taught by dancers at the cutting edge of the scene

Contemporary Dance

There’s no business like show business!

This exciting form of dance encompasses a wide spectrum of steps from a diverse range of musical theatre and classic-sounding-pop-blended music.

In these classes there is:

• an emphasis on interpreting the music with the body

• learning to prepare the body to execute the steps with pizzazz, fluidity and precision

• the teaching of steps in the style of some famous West End musicals
