Our Classes
Twinkle Stars
Twinkle Stars is our ‘Mummy/Daddy and Me’ welcome to all our future stars. Classes develop in children from a very young age a sense of musicality, body awareness, vocal development, interaction with peers and a sense of focus and following directions. Classes are interactive with parents and incorporate a range or props which engage young children while they experience patterns, beats, mime, song, improvisation and dance and musical terms in a creative and entertaining environment. Parents and children are able to discover the world of Performing Arts together and prepare them for the exciting road ahead …
