Drama classes are open to all boys
and girls aged from 5 to 16 years
and our aim is to offer sessions
that are designed to be fun
yet productive and will cover such topics as
acting,
improvisation, mime, speech & prose, performing
Classes equip pupils
with the ability to communicate effectively
which will help build their
confidence
There is an emphasis on
developing imagination, creativity,
interpretation and expression

shows, which we stage at various local theatres

junior dance troupes for 7 to 11 year olds and a
senior troupe for 11-16 year olds, at various venues across the Wirral.
These troupes perform at all our shows.
We also offer dance classes
for tiny tots (3-5 years) and primary (5-7 years)
and they too are included in at least one of our shows each year.

... these 4 or 5 day events, for
our primary, junior and senior pupils, are held
periodically during half-term & summer holidays. Each follows a specific
theme, the highlight being the filming or recording of the project with a
free copy of the DVD or CD being provided to all those who attended.
