Understanding Our Different Programmes

Dance | Sing | Act — Weekly Classes

Our Dance | Sing | Act programme is structured around training and performance.

Terms 1 & 2 — Training Terms

Each term is booked separately, with students developing their skills in dancing, singing and acting through our confidence-building weekly classes.

Terms 3 & 4 — Show Season

These two terms form one combined Show Season programme, culminating in our spectacular end-of-year theatre production.

Students develop and rehearse their performance material throughout Show Season, with regular attendance and commitment essential to the success of their group.

The combined Show Season fee includes both terms of training and production participation. The compulsory Pform uniform is purchased separately.

Just Drama — Term-by-Term Basis

Our Just Drama classes offer a standalone programme each term for children aged 7–13.

With a focus on acting, imagination, communication and confidence, Just Drama is ideal for children who love drama without the singing, dancing or production commitment.

Just Drama is booked separately and is not part of the combined Dance | Sing | Act Show Season.

No Pform uniform or end-of-year production participation is required.

The Confidence Project — Advanced Saturday Companies

Our advanced Saturday companies operate on a term-by-term basis, with separate enrolments and fees.

These specialist programmes provide opportunities for students to develop their skills
