We’ve always put children at the heart of everything we do and we’re thrilled to be back in real life with classes fi lled with laughter, fun and confi dence-boosting activities. We’ve put enormous eff ort into adapting our class content to ensure that we follow the latest government health guidelines whilst making sure the children can still sing, dance, act and have the best fun of the week. To help children get back to enjoying the things they love most, our autumn term is packed with games and activities which build confi dence, boost concentration, develop communication and help coordination. We have left no stone unturned when it comes to health and safety but the children will be having so much fun that they will barely notice a diff erence. Whilst there won’t be hand-holding games this term, there will be lots of eye contact, funky moves, fantastic diction and learning about how to be a great friend. Perform runs drama classes for 4-7s and 7-12s as well as Perform At Home, our popular online classes.
