Classes

---

Our Acro classes combine dance, gymnastics-style skills and acrobatic technique, helping students to develop strength, flexibility, control and confidence in a safe and supportive environment.

Students work on a wide range of skills including balances, bridges, walkovers, handstands, cartwheels, tumbling, partner work and elements of contortion, with exercises adapted to suit each child’s age and ability. Classes also focus on conditioning, flexibility and technique to help students build the strength and control needed to progress safely.

Acro is a fantastic way to improve coordination, balance, body awareness, stamina and overall fitness, while also encouraging determination, resilience and self-confidence. Students are supported to work towards new skills at their own pace and celebrate their individual progress.

Classes suitable for children aged 18 months-18 years old.

Performance is also an important part of our Acro programme, with opportunities to take part in Big Stars shows, showcases and community events. More advanced students can also access competitive opportunities and represent Big Stars at dance competitions.

Our Musical Theatre classes combine singing, dancing and acting, giving students the chance to develop a wide range of performance skills while exploring songs and routines from popular musicals.

Sessions include vocal work, choreography, characterisation, acting through song and ensemble performance, helping students learn how to bring a musical number to life on stage. Students will work on a variety of styles throughout the year, from classic musicals to modern West End and Broadway favourites.

Suitable for 3-18 year olds.

Musical Theatre is fantastic for building confidence, performance ability, musicality and stage presence. It also encourages teamwork, creativity and self-expression, while helping children develop their singing and dance skills in a fun and supportive environment.

Students will have opportunities to perform in Big Stars shows, showcases and community events throughout the year, giving them the chance to put their skills into practice and experience the excitement of performing as part of a cast.

Whether your child loves to sing for fun or wants to develop their voice further, our singing sessions provide a supportive environment where students can build confidence and learn how to use their voice effectively.

We offer both our group Singing Club and 1:1 singing lessons with our fantastic vocal coach, allowing students to choose the style of learning that suits them best.

Sessions cover vocal warm-ups, breathing and breath control, pitch, rhythm, musicality, diction and vocal technique. Students will learn how to develop and strengthen their voice, sing with greater control and confidence, and understand how to communicate the meaning and emotion of a song through performance.

Sessions available for all ages.

Our 1:1 sessions allow lessons to be tailored specifically to the individual, whether they are working on confidence, vocal technique, preparing for a performance or simply developing their love of singing.

Students will also have opportunities to showcase their vocal skills through Big Stars performances and events.

Our Ballet classes are a gentle and enjoyable introduction to dance, specially designed for our youngest students.

Through music, movement and imaginative activities, children begin to learn basic ballet positions, simple movements and short sequences while developing coordination, balance and body awareness. Sessions include warm-ups, stretching and lots of opportunities to move, explore and build confidence in a fun and supportive environment.

We run Ballet classes for children aged 18m-3 years old.

Ballet at this age is a lovely way to encourage musicality, listening skills, concentration and creativity, while also helping children become comfortable taking part in a structured class.
