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.
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!
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).
Fees are paid either monthly or 4 weekly via standing order. Cash
payments can be made if preferred. An enrolling fee is payable at the
first day of class as well as either 4 weeks or a months worth of
advanced fees. It is in the course of the first 4 weeks that standing
orders must be correctly set up.
Entry to Young Set consists of a correctly filled in application form
& student contract. Parents are not permitted to stay in the class.
It is important that parents/guardians are pro-active in checking the
school
online schedule weekly for any extra classes as well as
providing excellent communication with regards to future absences /
planned vacations etc.
