Kids drama classes with 'Perform' - thoughts?

[ashleighkk]

Has anyone enrolled their kids in the drama classes put on at the Goose Green Community Centre by 'Perform'? My son is 5 and I'm considering one of their three-day holiday classes, where they spend three days putting together and then performing a show. I think this year it's Alice in Wonderland, or Peter Pan.

Just wondered if anyone had some feedback about them as I don't know anyone who's done it.

Many thanks!

Hello

My kids were in Perform - a different venue, but same company. They did regular classes on a Saturday rather than the short course, but I thought you might like to hear an opinion as it's very similar. It's a bit expensive but it's SUCH a good class. They have very solid core structure to the classes, which work on building confidence and empathy, teamwork and physical coordination. They were super both for my uber-confident exuberant son, as well as for my son who shied away from public speaking. They manage to bring all the kids together and all of them seemed to just adore it. My kids kept asking when they could go back all week, they had so much fun. I haven't done the shorter courses but the way they get the kids to put a whole play together is so super, I am confident they'd be great too.

A friend of mine highly recommends Perform, her daughter is now 7 and has gone since she was around 4 and loves it!
