Course Details

Performing
At The Talent Stop, we believe that learning should be done in a low pressure environment where students are not afraid or intimidated to try. This way they develop their communication and theatrical skills with gradual and lasting confidence.

Our regular Open Days allow friends and family to see how and what the students learn at The Talent Stop’s weekly sessions. Our Presentations are based on all 3 aspects of our Performing Arts courses, involve excerpts from plays, musicals and dance routines. But most of all, every student however old or experienced has a chance to take part in our Grand Annual Show with costumes, make-up, lights and a performance on stage with a choreography competition to encourage creative flair.

What the students get…
Regular exercise, a life-long hobby, a bunch of new friends, superb training to be a professional performer if ever that's what you want to be, heaps of confidence and a heck of a lot of fun.
"it's better than having a birthday party!"

What the grown ups get…
A manageable hole in your wallet, a fit and healthy bundle of joy who spends a lot less time in front of the telly, less taxiing about as it’s all under one roof, a puffed-up chest and tears in your eyes at our open days and shows!

“Thank you so much for a well organised and enjoyable summer school – my daughter enjoyed every day and wants to go "all the time"!”

“…my daughter(10yrs) had an absolute ball performing in your annual show.  Needless to say I sat with tears running down my face throughout her dance and am so proud of her determination and self-belief – which you have bolstered for her. Many, many thanks once again.

“Just wanted to say what a fantastic show; you did a tremendous job and we, as I am sure all the children and grown ups did, had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  THANK YOU!”

“My son(4yrs) has enjoyed the experience and really liked performing on stage, he hasn't been with you very long, but we can see that already his confidence has grown especially in school when needing to speak in large groups.

Watching all the other children perform has inspirited him, as he talks about which part he might play in next year's performance!

Once again thank you for making this a special experience.”
