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 practising to achieve their goals. These skills are transferable to other areas of their lives, including their academic studies.

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.

We offer a free trial class so your child can experience it without any commitment. This allows them to see if they enjoy the activities and feel comfortable before you decide to enroll. Our aim is to make every child feel welcome and excited to return!

Is this just for children who want to pursue a career in the arts?

Not at all! While we do prepare students who are passionate about pursuing a career in performing arts, many of our students join simply to have fun, make friends, and gain confidence. The skills they learn benefit them in all areas of life.

Does my child need prior experience in performing arts?

No prior experience is required! Our classes cater to all levels, from beginners to advanced performers. Whether your child is new to performing arts or has already been in productions, we tailor our teaching to suit their individual skill level and growth.

Do you offer additional training for children who want a career in performing arts?

Yes, we do! For children who are passionate about pursuing a career in performing arts, Spotlights has a dedicated talent agency that regularly secures professional work for our students in film, TV, and theatre. Our instructors provide additional guidance to help children prepare for auditions and build their careers in the industry.

Are there any additional costs I should be aware of?

We aim to keep our fees as competitive and inclusive as possible. Unlike some schools, we provide all costumes for performances at no extra cost.
