Musical Theatre Classes

Musical Theatre classes are a favourite among many of our students. ‘PERFORM NOW’ focuses on expert tuition in training the ‘triple threat’ performer; voice/acting/dance while developing confidence. It is different to the ‘ACT NOW’ (Drama/Acting class) because it offers a more comprehensive approach to the 3 important skills needed for Musical Theatre 

SINGING/VOICE 

DIALOGUE/CHARACTER 

DANCE/MOVEMENT

Chris' Musical Theatre classes focus on the strengths of the individual and explore tips and tricks to find a balanced performance.

CONTEMPORARY TAP DANCE

CLASSIC TAP DANCE

Tap is the most rhythmic genre of dance, combining timing, movement and percussion. This class focuses on the combination of a solid technique, rhythm and stylised movement in both traditional and commercial styles.

Drama/Acting Classes

‘ACT NOW’ is our drama & acting class. It is the study of characters, physical movement, role play and improvisation. Students benefit with improved life skills, confidence and social awareness. Encouraging the students' individuality is the core of drama.  

DRAMA GAMES

IMPROVISATION

GROUP SCENES

SMALL PERFORMANCES

Your teacher will guide students safely through the basic skills of successful storytelling and provide the building blocks to creativity.
