Theatre performance skills in Welling

“I honestly can’t recommend ETA enough, my daughter absolutely loves all the teachers here and they’ve really brought out the best in her. I’ve truly seen her confidence and ability grow (and continue to) since joining last term. Such a friendly, fun and encouraging dance school. My daughter went for a trial and never looked back, she can’t wait for classes each week and keeps asking to do more and more, as I don’t think she wants to leave. The guys that run ETA are highly professional and skilled, yet personable and engaging, making all the students feel included and supported. A great place for your child to attend!”

“My daughter does Harlequins after-school at her primary school and recently did the summer school. She absolutely loved it, a range of activities in addition to the singing, dancing and drama. She didn't know anyone and they made so much effort to make her feel at ease. Thanks so much!”

“I have nothing but praise for Stagecoach Leatherhead. Allison and her team are truly fantastic, dedicated and passionate. They are inspiring teachers who make sure that all children achieve their potential and have a great time doing so. My elder daughter was with Stagecoach Leatherhead for 8 years, my younger daughter is still there. It remains the highlight of her week! She has come on leaps and bounds in confidence, musicality, dance skills and acting skills. It is a school that caters for all abilities, from aspiring already talented performers to those with special needs, who may need a little more help and as such is truly inclusive.”

“I can't speak highly enough about Rachel and her team at Spotlight Dance & Theatre School. My girls have been involved with Spotlight since they were young, attending the Friday classes (with some great presentations at the end of the term to see what the kids have learnt and how they are progressing). My girls are now older and attend the Saturday morning classes and they love them. They thrive on the opportunity to perform and look forward to the Musical performances and can't wait for this year's show (having missed out on live performances during the Pandemic). Their confidence has soared from the encouragement from Rachel and her team and to see them up on stage makes us all proud! Well done Spotlight!”

“We have only been with Razzamataz for one week but I have to say that from the first phone call to the first class, everyone has been fantastic. The communication has been amazing and the staff are wonderful. Elsie absolutely loved her first class and cannot wait for the next one. She has been signing and dancing everyday since and her confidence already is really lovely to see. Thank you to all that has made that happen. we both cant wait for what's to come :)”

“My daughters love attending Spotlights classes and have grown into confident performers as a result. This year's Annie show was a joy to watch and children clearly enjoyed every moment. I would recommend Spotlights to any parent who wishes their child to develop stage skills.”

“I am at Reynolds at the moment and I am loving every minute of it. Everyone is so kind and have all improved so much, in such little time.”

“I have attended different courses during a two year period and every single one has been a joy, Thank you very much Leo and Associated Studios for all your help”

“The past three years at PPA have been the best of my life. It was my first time living away from home but from the first day all of the staff were welcoming, friendly and caring. Training at PPA has given me so many opportunities to further myself in this career through acting, singing and musicianship and in my life as a person. I learned so much from being a student here, the most important lesson being that you should always be yourself because that is the best part about you. PPA gave me the care and support to find out who I was as a performer and as a person. PPA was a better college than I could ever have hoped for and from being here I have gained a family that I never knew I needed.”

“Fabulous theatre school with a fabulous team Lucy, Craig, Hannah, Sophie just to name a few really go above and beyond to ensure every child has fun and learns. Always opportunities to show of their skills and also to qualify in their chosen arts along the way. I wrote this review 4 years ago after my daughter having been at ATA for almost 4 years. She’s now been there almost 8 years and it is still the most amazing place. She gains so much confidence and skill from her classes and has thrived. She has gained LAMDA and IDTA qualifications in the plenty and is now a Grade 2. Sadly this is her final year due to us moving but she has loved every minute and we wouldn’t be without them. They not only are her teachers but they become an extension of the children’s families and help them not only with drama and musical arts but also support them when life is tough and they just need someone to listen. Thank you all for being the amazing team you are. We will truly miss you all. Xx”

“I have been attending bodens for about five years now and in those five years I have learnt so many new skills. I currently attend their Saturday morning combined musical theatre classes from 10am-1pm and their tap dance classes on Mondays from 5pm-5:45pm. I also take part in Trinity musical theatre exams which I am very lucky and grateful to do. Bodens has given me many opportunities and taught me many things that I will use in everyday life and in the future. Being a student at bodens has helped my confidence grow massively. They never fail to produce incredible shows where every student is involved and having fun. All members of staff are lovely and are always nice . They encourage us to take risks in theatre and help us understand what life is like in the theatre industry. Not only are the staff kind, but the students are too; they are all very welcoming to new people and are always open to making new friends. I have really enjoyed every moment during my time at bodens so far, and I think other young people should get to experience this too.”

“I graudated from The Bridge in 2022 and I miss it so much! The training allowed me to develop skills I already had and helped me discover new ones, and I gained so much confidence from all the support that surrounds you there - from the staff and your classmates. From the moment I stepped through the door on the first day to the end of the last day, I enjoyed every minute. You're also part of the company forever so you aren't just sent off into the industry alone once you leave. Five stars!”

“Well, I am judging SYTS' level because of the talent I see in famous people eho studied there. Only watching that I would say it's an excellent school and I would completely love to study there.”

“Our two girls are dance and performance crazy and have been going to CTA since the age of 3 (now 9 and 13) and loved every minute of it. It has really been (and still is) a great confidence and skill builder for them and it feels like an extended family for us. Thank you!”

“The Shows at Miskin are incredible! The talent is insane. Absolutely amazing. Highly Recommended for a great night out, support our young talent.”

“My girls have been with DSPA for many years, they are not only learning dance and performance skills but learnning about commitment, discipline, dedication and much more. Thanks to Miss Elin and the dedicated teachers, they are growing up to be confident performers, thriving to be better each day.”

“A nice local theatre. Saw The Merchant of Venice 1936 bringing Shakespeare's play to the troubled streets of the east end facing off Oswald Moseley. An excellent cast including Tracey Ann Oberman.”

“Internationally renown top performing arts college specialising in Musical Theatre with a strong dance base. Graduates enjoy long careers and are highly employable. The training is second to none and this outstanding college produces triple threat performers of the highest calibre. Graduates include Victoria Beckham, Kerry Ellis, Ben Richards, Sarah Hadland, Liam Tamne, Ruthie Henshall, Louise Dearman...”

“Went to see Jekyll and Hyde. Great performance by the cast especially Henry Jekyll. All the staff are really friendly. Lovely little theatre, must go there more often.”

“My daughter has just had her 2nd week at ACA and absolutely loves it. Teachers are lovely and welcoming, she will definitely be attending every weekend.”

“Anna has made GTS into an incredible school for kids to learn the arts. I can't recommend it enough!!”

“Wonderful shows. T.R.U.S.T. and Liminoid visited last night. Great work by cast and crew. So glad that the work has continued despite COVID. Break a leg tonight!”

“My Son and Daughter love it here at ACA. The staff are brilliant. There is a faculty, of teachers that have performed in west end shows, and they actually teach them bits from them to. Alex Craig the principal takes the time to help every student achive their dreams, with his first hand advice, from his time within the industory. There are plenty of opportunities, for your child to be on stage with their various shows. Send your child here if they have a dream to be on stage !!”

“My daughter completed a week of Summer Camp at the start of the school holidays and she had the best time. The teachers were supportive and attentive, and by the show at the end of the week the children had come on leaps and bounds. Such a great way to start the summer holidays.”

“Angela has been with Centre Stage now for nearly 4 years and absolutely loves it. The singing, dancing and drama teachers are all excellent, and she has developed both robust skills and greater confidence in all disciplines. The shows and public performances she has participated in have all been fantastic, and she has made many lasting friendships along the way. I would not hesitate to recommend Centre Stage for any budding performer.”

“My daughter has been with centre stage for many years and loves it ,it has given her so much confidence,she has made loads of new friends there ,Frankie and Lydia have been amazing with her ,I would definitely recommend centre stage to other parents.”

“My eldest daughter has been attending centre stage in one way or another since she was 6 starting in an after school club which was so good she asked to join the main academy which she has been at since 7 (she is now 11) and my youngest has also joined in the little ones classes. Both of my child adore centre stage and always come out of lesson beaming and full.of exciting things to tell me. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a drama/performing arts academy”

“I trained here from the age of 7 - 18... I went on to a leading performing arts school and am still working in the industry. I'm now 34 and have a little one of my own and cannot wait for him to be old enough to attend CKTS. The confidence these classes give children is invaluable in every day life! The teachers at CKTS are all wonderful two of them taught me! I wouldn't send my boy anywhere else.”

“Of interest is the school is set in a deconsecrered church on one side is the Bushey Rose Garden and by the road graves. But interesting is the World War One Memorial accessible from the Road.”

“This is amazing. The kids are really dedicated and it gives them so much confidence”
