Engaging Teacher: Abigail is an authentic gem with the best imagination. From our very first trial class, it was clear that she has an amazing ability to connect with children. Her upbeat personality and incredible talent for capturing and maintaining the kids’ attention were immediately apparent. She creates such a joyful and creative environment that our child couldn’t wait to return. Room for Improvement: One aspect I wish could be improved is the program’s flexibility for families starting halfway through a school term. While the trial class was a perfect introduction, we found it frustrating to purchase sessions leading into a new term without a prorated option. It would be ideal if families could pay for the remainder of the term first and then assess if they would like to continue with a full, new term. Joyful Outcome: Our daughter is absolutely thrilled with the class. It’s such a joy to hear her sing and dance around the house to the performance she’s currently learning. It’s clear she’s having an incredible time, and we love seeing her confidence and creativity blossom. Additional Suggestion: An e-gift card option on the website would be a fantastic addition. It would make it easier for family members, especially those living abroad, to gift classes for birthdays or holidays—a thoughtful and practical idea for any budding performer! Final Thoughts: We are so pleased with Perform Drama Classes and the positive impact they’ve had on our daughter. The overall experience has been exceptional, and we highly recommend these classes to any family with a young performer in the making!

Giorgio has been to so many classes and clubs, he has always refused to go after a term. With perform, I am so happy to see him will go willingly week after week. I think Miranda has a magically way with kids and fully allows Giorgio to be himself, quirks and all. This means Giorgio does not feel judged and feels accepted, despite his rather odd behaviours at times, which is what I believe makes his experience at Perform so positive for him. I am so happy to see Giorgio building his confidence and look forward to seeing him “perform” again. Thank you for helping a very busy and stressed mum find a moment of worry free time every week.

Maani LOVES the Perform classes! He gets so excited on Wednesday mornings because he knows he's going to "Perform" after school. He even asks us to sit and watch him perform. Last week, he said, "Sit down and watch me; it's the grand finale :)." Lottie is so enthusiastic and dedicated. Maani loves seeing Lottie and Marilyn; he told me they make him laugh. It's so great to see how much he enjoys his class.

We've been grappling with behavioral changes in our son due to the challenging times he's been facing at school. However, since enrolling in Perform classes, his attitude and confidence have significantly improved. He appears much happier now. It's wonderful to see him reciting the songs and dancing around the house. Moreover, the additional benefits of Perform classes include enhancing his memory, vocabulary, and reading skills.

Everything has been excellent, from what I know! It can hard to get feedback on things from Vinnie (I think this is most 5-year olds!) but he is the most enthusiastic about Perform than any other classes he has done. Drou has been wonderful to deal with and Vinnie speaks about her which is unusual for him to do about anyone! Thank you, can’t wait for the performance!
