Inters | Ages 11–14
Collaborative and fun filled hour long classes motivate and inspire our up-and-coming performers and learners. Our students make and nurture lifelong friendships as they grow in confidence through our classes. Our team of dedicated and highly experienced fully qualified teachers know how to bring the very best out of this age group, enabling challenging, exciting and engaging performances that utilise and showcase the students’ emerging technical skill. We welcome accomplished performers alongside beginners at this age. Additionally, we are able to support our students with opportunities for the Physical, Skills and Volunteering aspects of their Duke of Edinburgh Award and help prepare them for school performing arts and drama scholarship applications. These classes are a perfect boost for young people considering opting for Dance, Drama, Music or Performing Arts in their school exams.
