Our classes are built to inspire a magical experience for our little ones, often becoming the highlight of their week. Our classes are upbeat, visual and very interactive. We learn songs, dances, explore storytelling and improvisation. The class encourages children to use their imaginations and we aim to unleash their creativity. We create a safe, supportive space where we encourage the children to find their voice. We work towards a final performance each term which is very low pressure but enormously exciting with costumes, stage lights and of course plenty of glitter. Students move at their own pace and are all given their opportunity to have their moment in the spotlight.
What we learn and explore in our classes:
Learning song lyrics
Learning chorography
Picking up skills
Retention skills
Rythm and musicality
Story Telling
Vocal Projection
Facial Expression

This class offers the perfect balance of fun, a strong grounding in all three disciplines and accessibility for everyone!
These classes are suitable for all levels of performers, from tentative beginners to the next West End star. Our aim is to tailor the experience to the individual, so that each student feels encouraged, motivated and challenged. The class promotes social interaction, team work and finding one’s own voice. The sessions combine a training in drama, singing and dance. Every term we work towards a final performance which gives students the opportunity to shine and showcase their ever-developing skills. Illuminate and Kathleen are particularly passionate about building confidence and a strong sense of self in young people and the arts present an amazing vehicle to do this.
