The programme experience
Throughout the year, students develop their performance skills while building confidence, creativity and the ability to work as part of a group.
The programme progresses from skills-based classes into rehearsals, where students bring acting, singing and choreography together as part of a shared production.
Every student will take part in the final performance. Roles and responsibilities may vary depending on the production, age group and the needs of the group, but each student will contribute to the show.
Attendance and commitment
Regular attendance is important because students rehearse and perform together as a group.
By registering you are committing to the full programme, including weekly classes, scheduled rehearsals, any additional rehearsals communicated in advance, and the final performance weekend.
Clothing
Students should attend classes in comfortable clothing that allows them to move safely. They should also wear appropriate footwear for dancing (ballet slippers, sneakers, etc). Each student will receive a black Stage Spark Academy T-shirt as part of the programme. The T-shirt will be used during rehearsals and the final performance.
Families may be asked to provide simple additional items for the performance, such as black trousers, leggings or suitable footwear. Any requirements will be shared well in advance.
Payment
The full programme fee may be paid in one payment or in two instalments.
Payment details and dates will be provided after registration. A place is confirmed once registration has been accepted and the first payment has been received.
