John, as the organiser, wants all of you to know about Starlight School of Dancing in Redditch. Founded back in 1986, it's been a hub for budding dancers of all ages and skill levels.
John's main aim is to create a fun and positive atmosphere for everyone, whether you're a seasoned performer or just starting out. It's not just about nailing the technique; it's about enjoying the process and building confidence too.
You'll find a variety of classes here: Ballet, Musical Theatre, Theatre Craft, Tap, Contemporary, Lyrical, Street/Commercial Dance, Contemporary Modern Jazz, and even Gymnastics. There are even classes for adults if anyone fancies staying active and diving into the world of dance.
The teachers at Starlight are a dedicated bunch, making sure every student gets personal attention and grows at their own pace. It's all about holistic development – learning dance, yes, but also growing as individuals.
A key highlight every year is the annual pantomime at The Palace Theatre, with practices starting up in September and running until February. It's a brilliant chance for all students to get on stage. Then, from February to July, students work towards their IDTA exams. There are also festival performances scattered throughout the year to give everyone more stage time.
Starlight isn't just a dance school; it's a tight-knit community where students and staff support one another. It's a warm, welcoming place where everyone feels at home.
