Drama/ Theatre Classes, need GENUINE reviews please!

[BartlebyTheScrivener]

Looking for a drama/dance/music club for DS, 8. Have looked at several of the big names online, including on here, and many of the reviews seem to be fake or at least less than impartial!

The prices seem very high but I'm willing to pay if the quality is good. I've seen good things about Stagecoach and Perform but they seem very much on the hard sell.

Is there a drama club provider you would recommend? Honest reviews please!

We skipped the classes and went straight for British Theatre Academy. They get trained and they get to do a big show. I know kids who do e.g. Stagecoach but never do an actual show because they're too scared! If you're in the South East then check out Rare Productions as well but you'll have to pay to be in it right from the first show.

My kids go to Theatre Train. The one in my area is brilliant, the women who runs it is passionate about what she does. They recently performed at the Royal Albert Hall. I’m not in the south though.

If you're based in Kent or south east London then I highly recommend centre stage theatre academy.

Can recommend SANDS near Oxford if that's any help?

Is there a reason you want a big name franchise? My DD attends a local dance/MT school class, they recently did their annual show and loads of the children are in multiple classes. There are several near us that do dance/acting/singing, sometimes as one long session, some as separate.
