Hello and welcome to Perform Islington - a new kind of drama school that has child development at its very heart. At Perform, we use drama, dance and singing to build children's social skills and help them grow in confidence so they can fulfil their potential.

We started running classes at St James Church Hall in September 2012 and are currently here every week during term-time on Saturdays and Thursdays.

At Perform Islington, the Producers of the classes are Joanna and Niyi and the Teachers are Alexandra and Faith. The schools are looked after by our Area Partners, Jade and Oliver.

Next term runs from 4th September to 18th December with no sessions on 30th 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!

Cormac loves his weekly lessons with Joanna. He comes out every week commenting on how nice the staff are and how he enjoys himself. I find her incredibly nurturing, always smiling and easy to approach. It makes a huge difference if somebody loves what they do and it shows how much Joanna and her colleague invest in the classes.

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.
