What makes the school different is that we offer a vast range of subjects for all ages whether they want a career in the performing arts or just want to have fun. Pupils can learn Ballet, Tap, Theatre Craft, Modern Jazz, Hip Hop, Disco, Cheerleading, Fitness techniques. In our 'Fame School' pupils enjoy Musical Theatre classes consisting of drama, singing and stage movement. We also have adult classes and have just started an adult Zumba ® class. The atmosphere in the schools is friendly and caring. The emphasis is on the joy of movement and the love of theatre arts in general. The classes are well disciplined; this discipline comes from encouragement and a mutual respect between pupil and teacher, both having a real involvement in their subject.
Our dance classes generally follow the IDTA syllabus and for interested pupils we offer exams and progression. We have 100% success rate in all our IDTA exams throughout the 38 years we have been in operation.
Our 'Fame School' combines singing, dance and drama. The singing is led in our Saturday classes by internationally renowned singer and performer Leah Bell, with the emphasis on fun and with a wide variety of styles of music/songs old and new. The dance involved covers the spectrum of styles as seen in musical theatre and also includes some street and hip hop. The drama side involves learning various techniques such as mime, improvisation, and characterisation with some script work. Pupils are encouraged to work towards shows, presentations and musical productions. Pupils can also take part in IDTA musical theatre examinations which involve all the 3 sides of musical theatre. We aim for pupils to have fun and enjoyment whilst building confidence and improving communication skills.
We prepare students and qualified teachers for all IDTA Theatre branch teaching exams including the Anatomy paper. In 2010/11 we have successfully entered 18 pupils for teaching qualifications and Anatomy exams.
