Musical Theatre Youth (11-15 yrs)

A week full of singing, dancing and acting? What’s not to love?

Musical theatre performers do it all – sing, dance, act… and at the same time. If your child loves the idea of becoming a ‘triple threat’, this course is a great place to start. They’ll get a real taste of what it’s like to be a musical theatre performer, learning from expert professionals, who are working in the profession right now.

Participants learn new skills and develop their technique during morning sessions in singing, dancing and acting, exploring different styles in each area. Afternoons are spent working together on song and dance routines and scenes from a range of shows, ready for an end-of-week performance for family and friends.

The course is ideal for beginners, our expert and friendly tutors create a supportive and encouraging environment for learning new skills. It’s also a great course for those that have already done some singing and dancing, who will be encouraged to challenge themselves and improve their skills by our skilled tutors.

With top tips and advice from our pro teachers, participants will develop their confidence as performers, make new friends and have a whole week of sharing their passion for musical theatre!
