THEATRE SCHOOL - SATURDAYS

Weekly Theatre Classes for All Ages: Dance, Drama, Singing & More!

What We Offer
Every Saturday during term time, children have the opportunity to immerse themselves in dance, drama, and singing—with lessons tailored to their age group. Through engaging classes, they’ll build performance skills, grow in confidence, make new friends, and work towards an exciting end-of-year showcase at the Miller Theatre (located within the RGS grounds).

Our 2026 showcase will take place at the end of the summer term (exact date to be confirmed). It’s a fantastic opportunity for students to shine on stage and celebrate everything they’ve learned.

Whether your child is passionate about musical theatre, hip hop, jazz, contemporary dance, scriptwriting, improvisation, vocal technique, or harmonies, Chimney Sweep offers a dynamic and supportive space to explore it all. We’re here to nurture every child’s unique interests and talents.

Who Can Join?
We welcome children aged 4 to 16 years. Whether they’re stepping on stage for the first time or already love performing, all are encouraged to join, learn, and grow in a friendly and inclusive environment.
