Sing Summer Workshop 2018

Sing Summer Workshop 2018 – Review

As summer draws to a close we have been looking back at our brilliant workshops for 4-6 year olds over the summer break.

Our talented Little Stars aged 4 to 6, had so much fun at the ‘Sing’ Spotlights summer schools in West Wickham and Orpington, this July and August. They loved being Buster Moon, Rosita, Ash, Meena and all their friends, in this amusing, exciting and brilliantly told story. The characters in ‘Sing’ put on a talent show, to raise money to save Buster Moon’s theatre. ‘Sing’ certainly gave our Little Stars the opportunity to show off their incredible talent in drama, dance and singing.

In five fun packed days, the amazing Little Stars teachers produced spectacular performances for the children’s families and friends. Each child had a speaking part and they looked brilliant in their costumes, performing on the stage. We were all delighted to see how much each child’s confidence grew and this was so well reflected in their performances. The children learnt several different dance styles and mastered the ‘Sing’ pop songs fantastically well.

As well as being a performing arts school, Spotlights is also a great place for children to socialise and make new friends. We’re so looking forward to seeing some of our summer school graduates, at our Little Stars classes, this September.

If you’d like your child to try a performing arts activity this September please get in touch and ask about the next date for a FREE trial class.
