Why Choose Greatest Showman Week At Spotlights Theatre School?

The benefits of children attending performing arts classes are numerous and far-reaching. Here are some of the key advantages your child will gain from participating in the Spotlights Theatre School summer workshop:

Boosted Confidence

Performing in front of others helps children build self-esteem and confidence. By the end of the week, even the most reserved participants often find themselves shining on stage.

Enhanced Creativity

Performing arts encourage children to think outside the box, experiment with new ideas, and express themselves in unique ways. This creativity can translate into other areas of their lives, fostering innovative thinking and problem-solving skills.

Improved Social Skills

Working closely with peers to create a performance helps children develop teamwork and communication skills. Theyโ€™ll make new friends and learn the value of collaboration and mutual support.

Physical Fitness

Dancing and acting involve physical activity, which helps children stay active and healthy. Itโ€™s a fun way to exercise without even realising it!

Learning lines, choreography, and songs requires practice and dedication. Children will develop a sense of discipline and the ability to focus on tasks, skills that are valuable in all aspects of life.

What To Expect

Each day of the workshop is meticulously planned to ensure a balance of learning, practice, and play. Children will dive into the heart of performing arts, exploring singing, dancing, and acting.
