Born To Perform

Born to Perform runs on Saturdays from 9-12 for children aged 7-16. We run for an average 12 week term and use up to 3 weeks for confidence building and technique and the remaining weeks working towards a performance shown back to family and friends on week 12.

The main difference between us and other fee paying stage schools is that we are affordable, most range from £260-300 per 12 week term - ours is £120 (this amounts to just £3.33 per hour). We are also not into promising stardom. We set realistic goals and maintain that the academy is about growing and development and not becoming famous.

The Blonde Bombshells

An afternoon at the Lowry to see a band that took us down memory lane,the music was great, wished they had played more,I know the script was supposed to be funny but I could not hear all the wise cracks,the acting remineds me of school plays,they made it up with the music it was excellent,
a good afternoon
