Trolls-Inspired Performing Arts Classes: A Magical Journey for Kids Ages 4-7

Saturday, November 18th, 2023

Calling all 4 to 7 year olds in South East London for a magical performing arts journey inspired by the beloved Trolls movies.

Designed for kids aged 4 to 7, these performing arts classes promise an immersive experience that combines drama, dance, and singing, culminating in a magical costumed show at the end of the term.

Unlocking Creativity through Drama

The foundation of these classes lies in the magic of drama. Children are encouraged to explore their imaginations, express their emotions, and develop crucial social skills through various theatrical activities. From improvisation games to short scripted scenes inspired by the vibrant characters in the Trolls movies, the drama component of the classes fosters creativity and confidence in every child.

Dancing to the Rhythm of Joy

Dance is not just a physical activity; it’s a form of self-expression. In these classes, kids will groove to the upbeat tunes from the Trolls soundtrack, learning basic dance steps while embracing the joy of movement. The dance sessions are designed to enhance coordination, flexibility, and rhythm, ensuring that each child discovers the sheer delight of expressing themselves through the art of dance.

Harmonising Voices in Song

Singing is a powerful tool for building confidence and nurturing a love for music. Inspired by the catchy and heartwarming songs from the Trolls movies, the singing component of the classes encourages children to explore their vocal abilities in a supportive and fun environment. Whether it’s a solo performance or a group song, every child gets the chance to shine and develop a lifelong appreciation for the magic of music.

The Grand Finale: A Costumed Show

The culmination of these Trolls-inspired performing arts classes is nothing short of spectacular—an enchanting costumed show that brings together all the elements learned throughout the term. Parents, family, and friends are invited to witness the magic as their little stars take the stage, dressed as their favorite Trolls characters, and showcase their newfound talents in drama, dance, and singing. It’s a heartwarming celebration of creativity, teamwork, and the joy of performance.

Benefits Beyond the Stage

While the spotlight shines brightly on the stage, the benefits of these performing arts classes extend far beyond. Children develop essential life skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, all while having a blast in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Grease production for 7-18 year olds!

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2021

‘Grease’ is the word! We were born to hand jive and we can’t wait to rock and roll with Sandy and Dandy, the Pink Ladies and the T-Birds and all our favourite characters in our next Main school production for 2021, ‘Grease’. This Oscar nominated iconic musical starring Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, is a real family favourite featuring songs as ‘Grease is the Word,’ ‘We Go Together’ and ‘Summer Nights.’  

It’s the summer of 1958 and teenagers Danny Zuko and Sandy Olson, meet at the beach and fall in love. Autumn term starts at Rydell High School and for the T-Birds and Pink Ladies, it’s senior year. As the story unfolds, we fall in love with these quirky and colourful characters; the upbeat and catchy songs and amazing dance routines keep us entertained throughout.      

Our Main School is for children aged 7-18 and every child within the production will be assigned a specific part with their own lines of dialogue. Our students will get the chance to develop their performing arts skills learning a number of different dance routines and musical numbers for the show.  We have found from past productions that our students really gain confidence from being part of the production, leaning on each other for support. We create a professional theatre production with authentic costumes, scenery, radio microphones and lighting.

If your child would like to be a part of our production of ‘Grease’ then why not sign them up for a free trial in April 2021 at one of our venues in Bromley, Beckenham, Orpington , West Wickham or Croydon.
