Weekly classes in the Performance Arts, taught by industry professionals who are university educated or have professional examinations and qualifications in their specialist field.  Rotating sessions in drama, dance and singing will hone and focus not only your child’s talents and abilities but help them discover new skills. Students will cover, stretching, co-ordination, balance, dance techniques, musicality, understanding sheet music, rhythm and tone. Pitch control, the basics of vocal technique for both singing and speech, diction, projection, character work and development, script work, improvisation, solo and group work and memory skills to name but a few. 

Your child’s happiness and comfort is our priority so students are divided into groups of similar ages, to enhance their experience of class and help with establishing friendships and connections. We want the time your student spends with us to be the highlight of their week.

We want our students to experience all forms of performance, to feel comfortable in every situation. From intimate small performances, classroom workshops to large theatre performances. Each semester will have a different theme and performance style to enhance & encourage development and confidence.

The holiday classic soars off the screen in this Broadway Junior, musical adaptation of the beloved television special.

It’s an adventure that teaches us that what makes you different can be what makes you special.

Along his journey, he encounters fellow misfits, only to realize that home is where he has belonged the whole time. When a storm threatens to keep Santa's sleigh from taking flight, it's up to Rudolph to save Christmas!
