ABOUT THE YOUNG SET STAGE SCHOOLS

A fun and light hearted dancing/performance company for young children.

Our lively set of youngsters meet once a week to rehearse performance material for two productions per a year!

The youngsters enjoy modern and street jazz dance styles and can perform anything from Beyonce and Britney routines to musical theatre dance numbers. The classes are designed to concentrate on improving body
co-ordination, balance, counting, lyric learning, improving facial expression, rhythm and eye contact.

CLASSES

The youngsters are split into three categories of beginners, core and advanced (each group meet separately) according to ability. It is the decision of the school as to which group each child is placed and not the wishes of parents/guardians. The students learn dancing skills, performance technique and character/role play. Students are encouraged to move up through the groups over time as skills improve. Extra rehearsals and classes are compulsory closer to show dates, each child receives a 5/10 minute break mid class.

Whilst the class is fun and very friendly we do require excellent communication from parents and ask that all rules for this class are upheld. Costumes for shows need to be provided by parents as and when instructed and the youngsters cannot be absent two weeks prior to an event if they wish to perform. The performances are always very well attended and of a large scale so early booking is advisable when a performance is on sale!

MORE ABOUT THE YOUNG SET

The young students must wear the CTS uniform and be present and correct 10 minutes prior to class start times. Students at the beginners young set would take a more diluted and simple role in the performances where students of the core and the advanced are given more of a leadership role.

The class is headed by Alicia Iman who has been in charge of the company for over 10 years. She is assisted by two principal students from Conservatoire and also the deputy stage manager of CTS. (All CRB checked, where required).
