Musical Theatre Classes

After one very successful musical theatre course this term we are pleased to announce we have more classes running next term starting in January 2013. Classes will be held on Tuesdays in Tunbridge Wells at NDGA and Thursdays in Brenchley.

A mixture of singing, dancing and acting, just like they do in the West End! It’s like being involved in a mini show every week. The classes will be 45 minutes of jam packed fun! The students will work on a ‘routine’ for 3 weeks at a time, from shows such as Matilda the Musical, Sister Act, Shrek, Legally Blonde, Wicked and lots more! By Watching Week they will put on a show in class of the routines they have perfected throughout the term.

To book a place please just contact us.

Dance Exam Results

Congratulations to all the students who took an exam this summer. We had a marathon 6 days of exams! Students from all our different venues in Tunbridge Wells coming together to take ISTD dance exams in Ballet, Modern and Tap. We have some of the results back already with a 100% pass rate. Students have been awarded mainly Merits and Distinctions. All exams results will be handed out by the teacher the first lesson back in September. Congratulations to you all, the hard work certainly paid off!

The Royal Ballet!

Huge congratulations to Lily O’Regan who has been accepted into The Royal Ballet school from September. Lily currently attends dance classes in Modern, Ballet and Tap at Groombridge in Tunbridge Wells with Just Dance. Lily also won the Just Dance shield for the student with the most potential in 2011. Well done Lily we are so proud of you!

Dance Exams

Good luck to all those students who have a dance exam coming up. I know you have all worked so hard in your dance classes and I am sure you will be amazing! Just remember to enjoy it and smile.
(Parents please remember we have dance classes at many locations around Tunbridge Wells so the exams are going to be held at a central venue, The Schools at Somerhill)
