How will our classes help your child?

Imagine your child in front of an audience and performing confidently in just a few weeks. Each term at Spotlights we see children do just that.

Classes are structured around our uniqueย STAR System. Children develop at their own pace in a fun, relaxed and nurturing environment.

A performance every term for 4-6 year olds and twice a year for 7-18 year olds. All students have the opportunity to let their talent shine. You will be delighted to see your childโ€™s confidence and circle or friends grow each term.

If you want to find out how your child will benefit from our training, please contact us to book a free trial sessionย at any of our venues.

Circle

The STAR System forms the structure of our classes.
The philosophy behind it is the key to our on-going success.

S

Self Confidence

Class sizes are kept to a maximum of 20. Your child will have the support and attention they need to grow as a performer each week. Your child will receive feedback and encouragement from teachers on a regular basis. This will boost their confidence and challenge them to develop their skills and techniques.

T

Teamwork

Your child will be encouraged to work as part of a team in their class. We will teach your child that as performers, working together brings out the best in each other. Your child will work in small groups to perform pieces for the rest of the class. For example, your child will devise their own choreography, learn to sing in harmony and create group improvisations.

A

Active Learning

Each week your child will take part in exercises designed to develop their coordination, flexibility, communication, vocal projection, stage presence and performance technique.

R

Realising Potential

Realising potential is where the STAR system all comes together. Your childโ€™s self-confidence builds through team work and active learning to develop skills for a spectacular performance.

This is the 6th year our daughter has been going to Spotlights and she has genuinely loved every minute! She started in little stars where, with Monnie's nurturing and expertise, her confidence grew! The termly productions were amazing, and every child got a chance to shine on the stage!

I can't speak highly enough of the teaching team. Their Matilda production was simply amazing! Yet again every child was given an opportunity to shine! The show was extremely professional, and the kidsโ€™ faces said it all. They all loved it!

My daughter has been attending Spotlights for the past few years and absolutely loves it. She has enjoyed making new friends and the teachers are lovely. She joined for the drama but has found a singing voice she never knew she had and is loving the dancing.
