Dawn Wenn, the organiser of The Wenn Stage School in Ilford, Essex, wants to share some exciting opportunities with the sports community. Established back in May 1977, the school has carved out a solid reputation for dance education in the area.
Dawn ensures that classes maintain a high standard of education by strictly limiting class sizes. This allows for focused, individual guidance. Non-examination classes have a teacher-to-pupil ratio of 1:15, while examination classes have a more intensive 1:8 ratio. All staff members are fully qualified, with many being trained by Dawn herself. Some even work professionally in the theatrical world, enriching the school's atmosphere with their expertise.
At The Wenn Stage School, students can dive into their love for performing arts with a variety of classes on offer. Whether it's a single fun lesson each week or more rigorous training aimed at stage or teaching careers, there's something for everyone. Visit the school's website for brief details on the classes, and keep in mind that students can mix and match subjects, adjusting their schedule on a monthly basis.
Additionally, the school provides performance opportunities, allowing students to showcase their talents at various theatres in amateur and charity shows. Those showing exceptional promise may receive private tuition and the chance to compete in the British Arts Awards, a national competition that often leads to professional theatre opportunities.
For those in ballet, tap, or modern dance classes, Dawn enters students for I.S.T.D (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing) examinations. These exams, approved by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), can add extra points to college and university applications. At least three examination sessions are held each year, enabling students to progress at their own pace and reach their full potential.
The school also offers a "tots class" for children aged 2-4 years. This class serves as a fun introduction to dance, making it easier for the little ones to transition into the 5+ classes.
