Welcome to Perform Southend - dedicated to building confidence, concentration, communication and coordination using the performing arts.

We started running classes at Christ Church Southend in January 2025 and now run weekly every Fridays. The classes are run by Eleanor and the teacher is Leonora. The schools are looked after by our Area Partner, Sophie.

Next term runs from 5th September to 19th December with no classes on 31st October (half-term).

My daughter Amira absolutely loves attending Perform! She is so enthusiastic and her confidence has grown. The teachers are so amazing with the children. Amira has tried so many other drama classes previously, but Perform is by far the best!

Convenient day for weekly classes. Honey looks forward to attending and excitedly tells me about what they did on our way back home. Honey's words "I really enjoy it mummy, it's so much fun and I have a big girl part in blue beards bride" honey also enjoys the app and tries to copy the dancing in the music. I have rated 4 for the songs because I had not heard them before prior to Honey starting at Perform. Perform has a unique approach and I love that the focus is on confidence concentration and communication. That's what attracted me and caught my attention. I have spoken and recommended to some parent friends who seemed interested but currently engaged in other activities on Fridays! Eleanor is such a kind and empathetic teacher and it does sound like she recognises every child as an individual. She also compliments children positive ( from what Honey has shared with me since parents aren't in sessions)

It's mind-blowing how happy and confident Grace is. Jamie, the Producer, is incredible and so professional. It's just so good to see individuals come into their own and flourish.
