Why Performing Arts Classes are Beneficial for Young Children

Enhancing Cognitive Development

Engaging in performing arts from a young age has numerous cognitive benefits. It helps improve memory, attention, and concentration. Learning lines, songs, and dance routines requires children to use their memory and recall abilities. It also encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they interpret characters and scenes.

Emotional and Psychological Growth

The performing arts provide a safe space for children to express their emotions and explore different aspects of their personality. It can be particularly beneficial for children who may struggle with confidence or social anxiety. Through acting, singing, and dancing, they learn to manage their emotions and gain a sense of accomplishment.

Encouraging Discipline and Time Management

Participation in a structured workshop like Disney Week teaches children the importance of discipline and time management. They learn to balance fun with responsibility, understanding the importance of rehearsing and practicing to achieve their goals. These skills are transferable to other areas of their lives, including their academic studies.

How to Enroll

Spaces for our summer workshops are limited, so be sure to book early to secure your child’s spot. Book your childโ€™s place now:ย Spotlights Theatre School Holiday Classes.

Dive into a Sea of Creativity: Summer School 2023 – The Little Mermaid

Friday, September 1st, 2023

In July and August 2023, Spotlights Theatre School immersed young talents into a week-long adventure filled with drama, dance, and singing, all centred around the enchanting world of The Little Mermaid. From the moment the curtain rose on this aquatic spectacle, children aged 4 to 7 dove headfirst into a sea of creativity, making waves of memories that would last a lifetime. Here’s a review of The Little Mermaid summer school 2023.

A Splash of Excitement: The Workshop Unveiled

We created a summer workshop like no other. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as little mermaids, sea creatures, and sailors gathered, each child’s face aglow with excitement. The immersive experience was designed to unlock the boundless imagination of these young minds and provide a holistic introduction to the performing arts.

The workshop kicked off with a dynamic blend of drama, where pint-sized performers explored the depths of their characters and brought The Little Mermaid’s undersea world to life. From mimicking the graceful movements of underwater creatures to engaging in spirited dialogue, the children embraced their roles with infectious enthusiasm. Through carefully crafted activities, the workshop seamlessly integrated drama into play, allowing the kids to explore self-expression in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Dance Like Nobody’s Watching: Underwater Choreography

No exploration of The Little Mermaid would be complete without a dance extravaganza, and we delivered just that. Under the guidance of our skilled instructors, the children discovered the joy of movement, expressing themselves through the magic of dance. From whimsical mermaid twirls to lively crab-inspired shimmies, the dance segment of the workshop was a whirlwind of laughter, energy, and coordination.

The dance routines not only enhanced physical coordination but also instilled a sense of teamwork and camaraderie. Parents witnessed the transformation as their little ones moved with newfound confidence, embodying the characters from the beloved tale with grace and charm. The dance sessions were not just about mastering choreography; they were a celebration of creativity and individuality.

Sirens in Song: The Power of Little Voices

The workshop crescendoed with the melodic exploration of singing. Children, discovering the power of their own voices, embraced the tunes of The Little Mermaid soundtrack with gusto. The vocal sessions were a harmonious blend of learning, laughter, and musical discovery. From whimsical sea shanties to heartwarming ballads, the young participants navigated the musical seas with enthusiasm and skill.

Through vocal exercises and playful activities, the children not only honed their singing abilities but also gained an appreciation for the emotional depth music can bring to a performance.

Curtain Call: The Grand Finale

As the week unfolded, excitement reached its peak, culminating in a spectacular costumed performance at the end of the week. The culmination of drama, dance, and singing came together in a dazzling showcase that left parents in awe of the transformation their children had undergone in just a short span of time.

The stage was set, adorned with colourful coral reefs, shimmering seaweed, and a sense of anticipation that filled the air. As the lights dimmed, the young performers took their places, and The Little Mermaid’s enchanting world came alive. Parents marvelled at the seamless integration of skills learned throughout the week, witnessing first-hand the growth in their children’s confidence and performance abilities.

The costumed performance was a testament to the dedication of the Spotlights Theatre School team and the enthusiasm of the young participants. Each child radiated joy and pride as they embodied their characters, bringing a sparkle to the eyes of the audience. The applause echoed through the auditorium, a resounding acknowledgment of the collective effort put forth by the children, instructors, and parents.

Behind the Scenes: Parents and Testimonials

The joy of the workshop extended beyond the stage, as parents were invited to peek behind the scenes and witness the creative process. Throughout the week, we maintained open communication with parents, providing updates on their children’s progress and offering a glimpse into the magical world unfolding within the workshop.

As the costumed performance concluded, parents shared their heartfelt thoughts on the transformative experience. Many expressed gratitude for the inclusive and supportive environment that Spotlights Theatre School fostered, allowing their children to shine and explore their creative potential. The shared pride in witnessing their little ones blossom into confident performers was a common thread in the testimonials.

Spotlight on the Davey family

Thursday, August 25th, 2016

This week we checked in with the Davey family to find out how Emma (age 9) and Jack (age 6) have been doing in our drama, dance and singing classes in Orpington.

 

Both Emma and Jack started in our Little Stars class at the age of 4.ย  Emma has now graduated into our three hour Saturday session at Newstead Wood School.ย  We asked their Dad, Dan, what attracted them to Spotlights in the first place:

โ€œEmma always enjoyed dancing and singing around the house.ย  Jack saw his sister enjoying herself at Spotlights and so wanted to join too.โ€

Dan first became aware of Spotlights at a school fete where our students were presenting some dancing and singing, โ€œwe had seen a class perform at a school fete so this had got our attention. The class was also in the local area and covered different areas of performance to help grow kidsโ€™ confidence โ€“ thatโ€™s why I chose Spotlights.โ€

It is always interesting to hear what children themselves say to their parents about our classes.ย  Dan admits that Emma and Jack tell him, โ€œSometimes nothing!! But mostly quite a lot about the fun they have had with their friends.ย  Usually it will be about a new dance routine or a song that they are learning.โ€

Emma and Jack often talk to their friends about the classes too, โ€œEmma chats quite happily about it, rehearsing moves and practicing things with her friends while at school. Jack is different and not quite as chatty anyway, so probably only remembers to tell his friends after his performance and he can show off with a certificate!โ€

We love the fact that we get lots of referrals from current parents.ย  Dan tells his friends, โ€œthe kids really seem to enjoy their time there and learn dancing, singing and acting, which so good for confidence when they are up on stage.โ€

When we plan our lessons in drama, dance and singing we use our unique STAR System curriculum.

The โ€œSโ€ in our STAR System stands for โ€œself-confidenceโ€ and we make sure that every child is given opportunities to build their confidence in each discipline.

Itโ€™s great to hear how Emma has benefited from this, โ€œEmma’s confidence has considerably improved as she now enjoys being on stage performing, even if she still has a few butterflies.โ€

The โ€œTโ€ in our STAR System is for โ€œteamworkโ€. Dan says, โ€œBoth my children seem to realise the importance of working together for the benefit of a team, so that the overall performance is more important than the individuals.โ€

Each of our sessions includes dance.ย  The โ€œAโ€ in our STAR System stands for โ€œactive learningโ€.ย  This describes how we teach dance by getting all the children actively engaged and learning the steps from a professional teacher in performing arts.

Emma has even taken this technique outside the classroom, โ€œEmma loves dancing best.ย  She really enjoys music videos and copying dance moves with friends or at home, she loves the energy of the music and being able to perform to it.โ€

The โ€œRโ€ in our STAR System stands for โ€œrealising potentialโ€ and our mission is to ensure that every child we work with can realise their potential through our performing arts classes.

Danโ€™s view on this for Emma and Jack is, โ€œthey both come out of classes very happy and full of beans usually wanting to chat about the experience, this is so lovely to hear as a parent.ย  Their school teachers have noted their achievements and mentioned their ability to hold their classes attention when talking about things.ย  If they could both realise that there are opportunities out there for them growing up with a performance trained background, then this would be brilliant.ย  Overall Spotlights does an excellent job thanks to all staff members – the kids love coming along, well done and thank you!!โ€

If you would like to find out more about how our drama, dance and singing classes can help your child with self-confidence, teamwork, active learning and realising their potential please get in touch to book a FREE trial class and sign up to our monthly newsletter for further updates.

 



 

 

 

Spotlight on the Skillicorn family

Tuesday, August 16th, 2016

We recently caught up with the Skillicorn family to find out how Thomas (age 7) has been doing in our Little Stars drama, dance and singing classes in Croydon

 

Thomas has been coming to Spotlights for 18 months now.ย  We wanted to know what attracted his dad, Paul, to Spotlights in the first place:

โ€œI wanted Thomas to try a wide range of extra curricula activities.ย  Spotlights appealed because he got the opportunity to try something different and fun in a friendly, non-pressurised environment.ย  The performing arts class on Saturdayโ€™s was recommended to me by friendsโ€.

We love the fact that we get lots of friends of current parents bringing their children to a free trial class.ย  Having been recommended himself, Paul now tells his friends that the class is, โ€œa fun introduction to acting, singing and dancing in a friendly environment โ€“ I would recommend any interested parent takes their child for a trial.ย  The trial is free so you have nothing to lose by testing out the classโ€.

It is always interesting to hear what children themselves say to their parents about our classes.ย  Thomas, โ€œreally enjoys talking about the end-of-term show and what role heโ€™s going to playโ€.

When we plan our lessons in drama, dance and singing we use our unique STAR System.ย  The โ€œSโ€ in our STAR System stands for โ€œself-confidenceโ€ and we make sure that every child is given opportunities to build their confidence in each discipline.

Itโ€™s great to hear that Thomas has benefited from this, โ€œThomas is definitely much more confident being on stage and loves being dramatic at home.ย  Before Spotlights, Thomas was very shy about performing on stage, and quite tearful at the prospect of school Christmas shows. Heโ€™s now much happier being on stage in front of an audience. He now looks forward to the opportunity to dress up in costume and act out the partโ€.

The โ€œTโ€ in our STAR System is for โ€œteamworkโ€.ย  โ€œIt is very noticeable that Thomas now enjoys being on stage with others.ย  He also enjoys helping the younger children with their linesโ€.

Each Little Stars class includes dance.ย  The โ€œAโ€ in our STAR System stands for โ€œactive learningโ€.ย  This describes how we teach dance by getting all the children actively engaged and learning the steps from a professional teacher in performing arts.ย  Itโ€™s brilliant to hear that Thomasโ€™ โ€œdancing has improved!ย  He has enjoyed learning the choreography for the end of term showโ€.

The โ€œRโ€ in our STAR System stands for โ€œrealising potentialโ€ and our mission is to ensure that every child we work with can realise their potential through our performing arts classes.ย  Paulโ€™s view on this for Thomas is, โ€œwe love seeing him really put everything into the end of term show and finish the show with a big smileโ€.
