Drama classes 4-7s

Our curriculum

Our classes for 4-7s last one hour on weekdays after school and 90 minutes on Saturday mornings and afternoons.

The classes are divided into three parts and, at weekends, include a break for organic fruit and mineral water.

Move & Feel – encompasses dances, rapid reaction games and yoga-inspired mirroring exercises. All the activities in this section focus on the children developing good coordination, balance and core stability as they grow. They'll also enjoy greater self-assurance, improved posture and confidence to participate in physical activities.

Listen, Speak & Sing - the children learn specially composed songs, tongue-twisters and raps. Fun modern words and a humorous approach means this section is ideal for boosting children’s confidence, concentration and communication skills, all while establishing focus within the group and giving shy children a chance to shine.

Create & Imagine - the drama-based part of the class. The most enjoyable way for your child to learn is through play so we use lots of specially developed exercises such as character explorations, storytelling and role-playing improvisations. This session will really help to improve children’s attention at school as it develops concentration, imagination and speaking skills in a fun and imaginative way.

Each term there is a new theme such as The Jungle, Outer Space or Under The Sea and children receive a colourful sticker poster which they complete week-by-week before performing a presentation on the last day. To help the children to learn the songs and dances at home, there is a new themed CD each term plus videos and a free mobile app available.

Oliver has really enjoyed Perform. He has only had good things to say about the classes. It is apparent that the teachers are very enthusiastic and work hard to involve all of the children.

Both girls love Abi, and her energy and enthusiasm is infectious. Both girls look forward to their classes and their comfort in performing in front of an audience has improved fantastically.

– Ms Roo Modasia-Patel

I have been really impressed with the confidence that Perfom has given Mary. Within 5 weeks she was standing in front of an audience singing her Rapunzel song! She loves coming to Perform.

– Mrs Lucy Foster

Harrison has loved all of the classes so far. I am really happy to know he is enjoying himself, improving his confidence and developing so many other interpersonal skills too!

– Mrs Bela Nunes-Edwards

Isabella really enjoys her classes and is always on a "high" afterwards (for the whole day!). I can see already how her confidence has grown. Thank you!

– Ms Anna Sales

Dexter has found Perform brilliant, he loves going and I have seen real improvements in his ability to concentrate and retain information

– Mrs Emma Beverley

George is quite anxious in new settings and Lisa-Marie has been great in helping him to find his feet at Perform. He thoroughly enjoys the classes and is gaining in confidence from week to week.

– Mrs Clare Warnett

Both my daughters adore perform and we are delighted with the quality. We are both from academic backgrounds and really admire your attention to detail and child development. We couldn't be happier.

– Mrs Julia Martin

Ella loves perform! Her school teacher has remarked that she has started to use much more expression in her reading and I'm certain that this is thanks to Perform.

– Mrs Holly Gregory

Anja is enjoying the classes very much, and I've already noticed more confidence in Anja speaking to adults using her loud and clear voice :-)

– Viktoria Arnold

Wonderful, exactly what my eldest needed to boost her confidence at the awkward " self awareness" stage of development, she can't wait to get there each week.

– Sue Richards

Perform has helped my shy daughter come out of my shell and gives my outgoing son an outlet for his exuberance (which can sometimes be frowned on at school). We all love it.

– Lucy Kihlstrom

Alana is really enjoying it and I feel that it is helping her to express herself. I noticed that her speaking is clearer.

– Justine Lee

I have noticed that Beatriz finds it easier to learn her lines for her school plays, she is confident and loves going to Perform.

– Joana

I love the content and the social skills that my child is being taught. He is now running in to class after having to be peeled off my husband for the first couple of weeks.

– Cara Collins

I love that the priority with Perform is the development & well being of each child rather than pushing them to "perform" without considering their enjoyment. Both of my children are so happy in class and develop week on week.

– Becky Waller

I love the way that they respond to Leo's specific needs and encourage him to speak out, to move and dance and build his confidence through such positive responses to his efforts.

– Gemma Moorby

Every activity at Perform is designed to develop one of The 4 Cs - Confidence, Concentration, Communication or Coordination.
