The Benefits

What are they?

The combination of these benefits can be life changing. They can lead to an improved engagement with academic learning, the development of fantastic interpersonal skills, and a more enriched experience in all areas of life.

The transferable skills that can be learned from the performing arts support students throughout their entire lives, no matter which path they take.

Performing arts classes are an invaluable tool in providing children & young people with a rich life experience and connecting them to the world around them. They provide opportunities that traditional curriculum subjects cannot offer, and cater to different styles of learning. This means that their impact is far reaching and often life-changing.

There are endless benefits to children attending performing arts classes, and these go far beyond any stage or rehearsal room.

Improved Confidence

Trying new things and experiencing success enables students to recognise their own potential. They learn to trust in their own abilities and their confidence grows. This is a core element of each of our classes.

Developing Empathy

In order to act it is necessary to step into someone else’s shoes and see the world from their point of view. This promotes an understanding of others’ thoughts and feelings and can support children in developing healthy relationships.

Creative Thinking

Creativity unshackles the mind. It enables students to ‘think outside of the box’, and take a creative approach to problem solving. This is an essential skill in life, and one that will support students on whichever path they take.

Communication skills

Students learn invaluable skills in both verbal and non-verbal communication. They lean to articulate themselves clearly and listen effectively to others.

Emotional Wellbeing

Performing arts activities provide opportunities to explore a range of emotions in a safe environment. The effect of this is cathartic and can support children in managing their emotions effectively.

Positive Self Image

As confidence grows students often begin to see themselves in a different light. Their eyes can open to new possibilities as a result of their new found self-esteem.

Physical Fitness

The movement element of classes improves skills such as coordination, strength, flexibility and control.

Learning to Collaborate

Working together, sharing and combining ideas, and taking part in discussions are a key part of our classes. Skills in these areas are invaluable in all walks of life.
