Summary:
Founded in 2018, WHAM Theatre Schools founded to provide a space where children & young people can explore performing arts without the pressure of competition, or stressful showcases & projects. We provide affordable, inclusive Musical Theatre classes in Dance, Acting and Singing for children aged 3 to 14+. Our additional classes include Introductory Acro, and Digital media Skills.
The focus is on helping every child grow in confidence and creativity, whatever their starting point. Every WHAM class should be a place where children feel safe, supported, and motivated to be themselves.
